Mtv recently asked celebs what they thought of Harry Potter to celebrate Harry’s birthday. Here’s what Robert had to say:

“Does it make me a traitor? ‘Harry Potter’ was what made me become an actor. I credit ‘Harry Potter’ with everything else that’s come since for me. I didn’t know what I was doing before that. I hadn’t read the books before doing the movie, so at first I read it just as an acting exercise. But I really enjoyed it! But I think Edward would kick Cedric’s ass, to be honest.”

Michael Martin interviewed Robert Pattinson for the October 2008 issue of Interview Magazine (with James Franco on the cover) Here’s a little bit from the article:

A former child model–he posed professionally from ages 12 to 15 (”when I stopped looking like a girl”)–Pattinson has been dubbed “the next Jude Law” in the British press. “I don’t really see the similarity,” he says. One opportunity to break out comes via next year’s Little Ashes, a Spanish drama in which Pattinson stars as the young Salvador Dali. But first, there’s the vampire thriller Twilight, based on the popular teen books, in which Pattinson plays Edward, a 108-year-old bloodsucker in love with a high school girl. Horror fans are already stalking him. “It’s funny,” Pattinson says, “because teenage girls would say,’ Oh my God, you’re Cedric!’ It switched in a week to ‘Oh, my God, it’s Edward!’ Allegiances change to freely in the teen-girl world.”

Put away the garlic and holy water. These wicked-hot guys may play vampires, but we promise they won’t bite.

It’s 5 p.m and Taylor Lautner is the first to arrive at the Venice, California studio for our CosmoGirl shoot. A few minutes later, his Twilight costar Kellan Lutz walks in. The guys high-five and joke about how Robert Pattinson - their other costar - is always late. By 6:30, I’m getting a little impatient because we’re still waiting for our lead vampire. Finally, Robert tiptoes in, sleepy-eyed and full of apologies, “Sorry, I overslept,” he explains in his sexy British accent.

He’s so charming that my aggravation immediately vanishes. I totally see why Kristen Stewart’s character, Bella, would want to spend an eternity with this guy, vampire or not. As the three actors change into jeans and white shirts, every girl on set finds an excuse to sneak into the dressing room, hoping to get a peek. Then - as if on cue, just around twilight - Rob, Kellan and Taylor emerge. Check out what we chatted about during the shoot.

So, boxers of briefs Rpattz?

Most of what Pattinson had to say was overwhelmed by screams of “We love you Robert!”

“This is the first time I’ve seen them,” Spunk Ransom grinned, looking out at the massive crowd. “It hurts me to think about myself. I love the fact that [Edward is] the hero of the book, but he denies it.”

A huge fan line yielded questions such as: “I want to know what it’s like to portray super-hot vampires,” “How does it feel to know that the fate of your character has already been decided?” and “I just needed a reason to come up and talk to you, Robert.”

Hardwicke fell short of confirming what MTV News has already reported: “Rob is a great musician,” she beamed. “That’s all I can say.”

“The lullaby thing, I just made [it] up on the spot during the scene,” Pattinson laughed. “During the scene, I drifted into the piano playing. I guess it just comes from somewhere.”

One of the best moments, however, may have been when a Twilighter screamed: “I love you, Robert!” and he coolly responded, “Good.” Source
