[on filming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)] The first day we had to do a cast read-through
where we go through the whole script. I was a bit star struck. I was a
big Harry Potter fan before.
[on winning the role of Padma Patil in the 'Harry Potter' films] I
never in a million years thought anyone from Manchester was going to
get it! And I never thought I would get it!
