About the flashbacks to the first movie in OotP (2007): "It's just like having your baby pictures blown up on a 20-foot (six-metre) screen and placed in 37 countries. It's sort of your worst nightmare. It's scary to see how we've all changed. You see yourself and you say, 'God, who is that girl?'."
