What did Robert think about his young co-stars in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?

Robert has said that it's weird being around the three main stars of the Harry Potter films, because they're so famous that they're well on their way to becoming icons! But as he worked with them closely for nearly a year, he made and stayed really good friends with his co-stars.

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter): Daniel is three years younger than Robert but Robert thought that he was already an acting pro. He has said: "He's so far superior to me in terms of desirability...I think Dan could steal anybody's girlfriend!"

Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley): Robert is two years older than Rupert, with whom he got along particularly well. Robert has said: "He's incredibly funny as a real person." Robert thinks that Rupert is a really versatile actor.

Emma Watson (Hermione Granger): Emma first said she wanted to be an actress at the age of six, but she had only acted in school plays before the Harry Potter movies. Robert has said: "She's an incredibly intelligent young person."

Stanislav Ivanevski (Viktor Krum): Bulgarian-born Stanislav was spotted by a Harry Potter casting director while attending an international school in London. Robert has said: "I started on the same day as Stan. Stan and I did a lot of on-screen stuff together, so we bonded well."

Katie Leung (Cho Chang): Katie waited in line for four hours to get her two-minute audition for the part of Cho. Robert has said: "I get on really well with Katie, she's a really cool girl."

Clémence Poésy (Fleur Delacour): Clémence's father is an actor, theater director, and playwright who gave her her first professional acting job when she was 14. She had a number of film, TV, and stage roles before Goblet of Fire. Robert and Clémence have stayed good friends even though she lives in France and he's based in England.
