Five Things Every Girl Should Know About Harry Potter's Chris Rankin
He may play the arrogant Percy Weasley onscreen, but in real life he's just a regular, sweet, musical-theater-loving, cheese-eating 20-year-old.

1) Cheddar makes it better, or at least it does for Chris. "I eat a lot of cheese. I don't know if it's some sort of old wives' tale, but apparently if you eat cheese late at night, it's not good for you. But fortunately, I don't have weird dreams that much."

2) He thinks prom is overrated. "When I was in school we didn't really have proms in the U.K. But now it's becoming more popular. My school had one when I was 18, but I was doing something else that night so I couldn't go. Proms in the U.K. are nothing compared to an American prom. People don't dress up or anything like that. Proms are one of the most overrated things in the world to me."

3) The theater gets his wheels turning. "I was brought up onstage. I think most actors who are will always prefer theater. I really love musical theater. I've got a lot of Broadway CDs. Just now I was listening to Wicked, the new Broadway show, and Into the Woods, which is one of my favorite musicals. I did that show when I was 16."

4) He's single and he likes it that way, thank you very much. "I don't have a girlfriend and that suits me fine at the moment. I'm only 20, and I still have my whole life ahead of me for all of that."

5) He loves his sinister onscreen alter ego. "He's a fun character. I like him 'cause he's pompous and arrogant and you can have quite a good bit of fun with that. I'll keep playing him as long as the author keeps writing the books. She's gonna write seven, so I'll imagine there will be quite a few more movies coming."
