He's such a great kid, so bright and centered. I hope he continues to be so "normal".

Harry Potter finds reminders of younger self 'soul-destroying'!
By ANI
London, June 25 (ANI): Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe cringes every time he hears people sighing over how cute he and fellow co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were when they starred in the first Potter flick.
Radcliffe, who turns 18 on July 23 this year, reveals that he finds if 'soul-destroying' whenever he hears people cooing over him when he was 10 years old.
"I had a hideous reaction when I saw a screening of Harry Potter and there was a clip from me in the first film and I just heard loads of girls go, 'Ahhh.' That was just soul-destroying," The Sun quoted him, as saying.
The actor also insists that fans will see a new side to all three Potter stars in the new film - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
"I think we're a lot better. We have all grown and developed and I think it does add something to the film," he said.
However don't expect the actor to start busting up his nearly 20 million pounds which he will have full access to in another month.
"I'm quite interested in artwork and things like that but I've never been into cars or anything. 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 do," he said.
Apart from the Potter flick, Radcliffe will also appear in First World War drama My Boy Jack, playing the soldier son of writer Rudyard Kipling. (ANI)
(And yes, when I see SS, I can't help but say, "They were so TINY!!!!" He shouldn't cringe too much; he was a kid, he was little, that's just how kids are. He should be proud of how good of an actor he was, even at 12.)
And the article that I really had to post:
HARRY POTTER STAR 'NOT A CELEBRITY'
Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has insisted that he does not consider himself a massive star.
The teenager was speaking ahead of the release of the fifth film in the enormously-popular Harry Potter franchise; subtitled the Order of the Phoenix.
Next month promises to be a momentous one for Radcliffe personally, with the film's general release on July 12th being followed by the publication of the final book in the Harry Potter series on July 23rd, which in turn precedes his 18th birthday by two days.
The 17-year-old has already built up a massive fan-base and multi-million pound fortune during his four-film stint as the eponymous boy wizard, and earlier this year earned rave reviews for his West End debut in controversial play Equus.
But at a press conference in London promoting the Order of the Phoenix film he said: "I don't consider myself a celebrity; because I've known me all my life."
On his non-celebrity lifestyle and why he has so far shunned the showbiz party scene he added: "What I love doing is acting, rather than all the stuff that goes with it."
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, director David Yates says that the young Gryffindor wizard's "fight against his dark side" takes centre stage as he is forced to accept the connection he shares with his evil nemesis Lord Voldemort.
