And that’s high-quality with me. You create your character and also you make him what you wish to make him. He feels very actual to me, and I believe Harry’s simply what individuals gravitated to. However he’s not Harry in my head after I’m writing for him. He’s not Harry and he’s not residing Harry’s life. He’s very a lot his personal individual to me.”
