What is it like to initiate a new director? Is there anything special you do on his first day?
Watson: No. No. There are no introductory rituals.
Radcliffe: No.
Watson: But, I don’t know, it’s really nice. I mean, I love the cast and crew that have been on the film since the very beginning. So, there’s quite a nice friendly family that hopefully is not so too intimidating for newcomers.
Grint: And all the directors have been always quite different as well. So it’s always quite exciting to meet the new ones. We’ve had some pretty good ones. We’ve been lucky.
We’ve literally watched the three of you grow up as we’re reminded in this movie.  For the three of you, growing up with these characters, have you found that they’ve influenced you in real life? 
Radcliffe: That’s a question that gets asked in different ways a lot. And it’s one that I think people always wanted us to say, yes, we couldn’t live without them, sort of thing. 
And while they've been amazing, I don’t know if they've actually influenced us. Well, certainly, for me. I can only speak for myself.  Harry, as a character, hasn’t influenced my character too much personally, but I don’t know how you guys feel about that.
Watson: We get asked a lot, about growing up and being on camera and growing up in the limelight. It’s a really funny question for us to ask because we can’t see ourselves from the outside, if that makes sense?
Grint: To me, it’s really weird to us, looking back at all the films. It just seems like one long film. Feels weird looking back about the early ones, how young we were and how much we’ve changed now. It’s been really good part of my life and, yeah, I’m really enjoying it.
Radcliffe: I had a hideous reaction at one point when I was in a screening of Harry Potter 5 and there was a picture of me on the screen, but then there was a clip of me in the first film at one point is used in the fifth.  And I just heard lots of girls go, “Aww,” and that was just so destroying.
Has J K Rowling given you a little bit of a preview what’s going to happen?
Radcliffe: No, none of us gets a preview.
Watson: Unfortunately.
Radcliffe: I think only J K Rowling’s husband has recently found out what happens. I don’t think anybody else knows. 
Watson: Literally, the security on the books and making sure it’s kept is pretty tight. So, I think we get one the night that it is released. But not before.
What’s been the biggest things that you’ve treated yourself to over the years or recently?
Grint: Oh, well, I recently, I’ve got an ice cream van. 
Radcliffe: You can’t top that. No, nothing particularly exciting, I mean, I’m quite interested in artwork and things like that. But I've never been into cars or anything like that, so I don't think I’m going to splash out on a classic car collection, which I think people seem to expect me to. I don’t think I'm going to be doing anything particularly exciting.
Watson: I haven’t really. I mean, I bought myself an Apple Mac, my little laptop, which I love; it’s my pride and joy. I’ve used it so much, I don’t have memory space on it anymore.
What thought have you each given to your careers post-Harry Potter? What would you like to be doing next?
Radcliffe: I don’t know. I suppose I’ll just keep acting and hopefully do really interesting and different things. And I’d love to write, I suppose, as well, in very, very long way away, but that’s another thought.
Grint: I suppose it’s the same with me. I don’t really give it much thoughts, to be honest. But I think I do feel like continue acting and I’d like to see where it goes from there, really, and if it doesn’t work out, I still got the ice cream van. 
Watson: You can’t really say, “This is what I want to do” because it’s not really your choice, you know?  This business is completely unpredictable. You never know what films are going to being made, what work is out there. You’ve just got to see what's out there, really, I guess.  But, ideally, I’d love to try some theatre at some point. I’d love to do a period drama. There’s loads of different things I want to do. And I also really love to sing and I’d laugh like I don’t, why I’m not launching a singing career or anything. 
Grint: When’s the album out, Emma?
Watson: Yeah. A couple of months.
Fans always focus on Harry’s wonderful characteristics. What are his bad points?
Radcliffe: I think Harry does have bad aspects, and I think everybody has, in a way. When he lashes out in this film, he lashes out at his two best friends. And I think that’s something that a lot of people do simply because they know that ultimately, they’ll be okay.
But J K Rowling did say, “If you haven’t understood Harry’s anger in the fifth book, then you haven’t understood the four books previous to it.  Because if you did, then you would see that he has a right to be this angry.”
Dan, there are some similar themes to Harry Potter in your new film December Boys - the loneliness and being an orphan.
Radcliffe: Yes, December Boys is about four boys who grew up in a Catholic orphanage in the outback of Australia and who, by a generous donation to the orphanage, were all sent on holiday for their birthday month, which is December, hence why they are the ‘December Boys’. And they all have various rites of passage stories while they are away. And I think it’s a really sweet, genuinely warm and heartfelt film.
As you say, there were similar themes. The tally is now up to three orphans - Harry, David and Maps. But it is a very, very different film.  And he’s a very different character from Harry because Maps is much more restrained than Harry. Harry lets a lot out, and Maps doesn't at all.
And later in the year, I’m doing My Boy Jack, which is about Rudyard Kipling and his son who wanted to go and was sent to war despite having failed numerous army medical test because his eyesight was so bad. It's a very, very sad story. But it's a beautiful, beautiful script written by David Haig, who is also playing Rudyard Kipling, so, very exciting. Yes.
Which was each of your favourite scenes in the film and why?
Radcliffe: Hmm. I like the scene after the kiss with Cho Chang.
