Here are some quotes from this article:
"Radcliffe, 17, has already briefly shed his Harry Potter wizard robes for a well-received West End stint as the troubled young man who blinds horses in Equus. He has a film, The December Boys, awaiting release and is due to begin work on another, My Boy Jack, soon.
... He has a keen sense of humour and a quick wit and, with Peter Sellers as his role model, has his sights on dramatic and light-comedy parts.
On July 9, Radcliffe will cement his stardom by placing his hand prints on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, but he still finds the idea "really bizarre". "It's one of the things I get embarrassed about because it's such a massive honour. It's a very exciting prospect."
Despite having been in the eye of the Harry Potter storm for most of their childhoods, Radcliffe and his two co-stars seem remarkably well-adjusted and down to earth...
Emma Watson, at 16 the youngest of the trio, has grown into an attractive young woman over the course of the films, but she is probably the least confident in her own abilities. While she sees a lot of her Hermione Granger character in herself - "We're both very stubborn, determined, loyal, academic feminists" - she believes any acting talent she has is instinctive and is unsure whether it will be enough to carry her on in after Harry.
Watson, who was wearing blue Diesel jeans and a pink Chanel top, is being paid a reported £2 million for each of the final two films in the series, but insists that her drawn-out contractual negotiations were not money-motivated. "It was more about juggling my A-level exams, going to university and doing the movies," she says.

The The Daily Mail has a interesting article called "Move over Hermione - there are three new girls vying for Harry Potter's attentions", this article touches Harry's story and also the actors from this movie:
"Today, though, there is nothing naive about Daniel Radcliffe, who is 18 in three weeks. He walks confidently into the room in a grey suit, black shirt and silver tie which give him more of a touch of Al Capone than Harry Potter.
Compared to Rupert, the same age, who lopes along beside him, all shaggy red hair, jeans and T-shirt, Daniel seems aeons ahead in sophistication. Perhaps appearing naked for the recent sell-out run of Equus in London's West End has led to Daniel's startling new maturity and stature.
Emma, the daughter of two lawyers and the only one of the three main characters still at school - she is at the £11,000-a-year Headington School in Oxford where she is studying for A levels - said: "You have your first cigarette or glass of alcohol in a safe environment with friends, or you choose to do it in a nightclub and you come out and you can't walk.
Emma says: "If I'm having boy troubles I'll occasionally track down Rupert and say, 'What is going on here, I don't understand.'" Daniel quickly interjects: "Don't ask what she means by boy troubles!"
Daniel, an only child, who lives with his parents - his father is a literary agent, his mother a casting agent - in Fulham, West London, is said to be likely to come into the £20 million fortune he has earned through his acting on his 18th birthday on July 23. That's just two days after the final book is published.
But one thing's for sure, Harry the heartthrob will work his magic."
