J.K.R.: They called me, and they said, “We think we’ve found him.” And then the first time I ever saw you was onscreen in my sitting room at home. They sent me a video of you.

… So, I saw you on that audition tape, and I don’t think I’ve ever really told you that I found it incredibly moving.

Dan: Oh, thank you so much.

J.K.R.: It was incredibly moving! At that point, I didn’t have a son … And I phoned David up, and I said “He’s great, he’s fantastic.” And I did say to David it was like watching my son onscreen. Because, after all, Harry feels like this ghostly son that I’ve had in my life. (x)
