And Tom, I just wanna let you know Gryffindor beat Slytherin in the cricket match today. I beat you again. Haha!
Tom: We’re not really enemies. We love each other, really.
Dan: Me and Tom get on really well in real life. In the film, they really hate each other.
I constantly refer to Daniel kind of being the inspiration. He really was, man - ‘cause he’s there every day. 16 hours a day. And when he’s told that he can go home, he hangs around for morale and makes sure everyone’s in good spirits. Yeah, I mean, one day he was Maggie Smith’s P.A., I think just for the fun of being on the set. He’s such an inspiration, especially for all the kids that still call us. I had an eighth of his workload and yet, I was still finding myself getting stressed out. He was a constant reminder to be grateful.
So he’s the hero on the set, as well?
Yeah! He really was! It’s very fitting. Daniel is, basically, Harry. He is the hero, for sure. (x)
