The 23-year-old star shot to fame when he was just 11 as Harry Potter but, despite the franchise’s huge success, he is still shocked when people tell him how much of an impact he has had on their childhood and it makes him angry when people assume he is just another “child-star prank”.

He told the Telegraph Review magazine: “The most wonderful thing I hear is people coming up and saying, ‘Thank you for my childhood,’ which still blows my mind but it’s very   sweet.

“When people say, ‘What’s it like to be associated with such a big franchise?’ I say, ‘It’s very easy when your franchise is something that is so loved.
“I feel like ‘child-star prank’ is the image many people have of actors who started young; that’s the stereotype you’re coming up against.” — Sowetan.
