Daniel with Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron

The 14-year-old said he usually has very quiet Christmases with his close family and friends.

But he still said it was his fave holiday because it is "very relaxed and I receive some great presents".

Dan is now taking a break as filming on the third Potter movie, the Prisoner of Azkaban, finished in December.

'Exciting Quidditch'

Filming on the Goblet of Fire starts in April, but Dan said he hadn't seen a script yet or chatted to new director Mike Newell about the tough emotional scenes at the end of the book.

He did say how much fun he had doing most of his own stunts on the Potter sets. In Azkaban, he has to fly Buckbeak and take part in an exciting Quidditch match in the rain.

While playing everyone's favourite boy wizard has obviously had a huge impact on Dan's life, it's not quite as bad as people think.

"There is an assumption that I can't go anywhere without protection and that is simply not true," he said. "I recently went to see The Strokes in concert and it was absolutely fine. I went to see a preview of Lord of the Rings at Leicester Square and no one recognised me."

But Dan admitted some things are a bit weird, like seeing some of the more unusual Harry Potter merchandise. But the strangest thing he's seen his face on?

"Without a doubt, kitchen roll," Dan said.
