Harry Potter star Katie Leung opens up on ‘overwhelming’ childhood fame

Leung explained that while filming initially felt like an escape from school, which she did not enjoy, the long-term effects of early fame were far more complex. “At the time, I was having a lot of fun. I thought, ‘This is different from school,’ and it really was a way to escape,” she said. “I’m still trying to figure it out, really, how it affected me.”
