Dateline NBC's special Harry Potter: the Final Chapter featured interviews with J.K. Rowling, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Daniel.
Below the quotes from Daniel.
You know, you get a sense of it at the premieres.
Because you see all the fans there. And you think, "These guys really
love it." But equally, you think this stretches way beyond these guys.
Because it's not just a superficial thing. Harry's a character that's
worked his way into the collective consciousness of millions of people
of all ages around the world.
I had read the first two, and after I got the part, I obviously thought

then have now, from then on, been devouring as much literature as I
possibly can-- which is, I think, the effect they've had on everybody.
It is a phenomenon. I think it's partly to do with the character of
Harry … It's just the most amazing kind of storytelling in that it just

where you just say, "All right. Well, I'll-- I'll-- I'll read another
chapter and then I'll stop." And you-- you get to the last page of that
chapter and think, "I'll go at-- okay, I'll just read the next one."
