Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint literally grew up on the set of the 'Harry Potter' films and now, on the day that they debut the seventh film in the series, ET flashes back to our first sit-down with the trio!

Watch as the children, who play Harry, Hermione and Ron, playfully describe the plot of the very first film in the series: 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.' Rupert starts off, "It's about this boy whose mom and dad got killed by this dark Lord..." while Daniel says, "'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' is about a boy who has lived a really, truly horrible life because he never knew his parents…" A pint-sized Emma wraps up her explanation by saying, "It's very complicated, you've got to read the books."

Then, Emma shares who her two favorite actors are, while Rupert comments that he's nervous about hitting the red carpet for the film's premiere because "there's gonna be famous people there."

When it comes to fame, Daniel shows that he already has a good attitude, saying, "The best thing I can do is enjoy it because there are so many worse things happening in the world, so it's just stupid and quite selfish to be worrying about being recognized."

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One,' based on the seventh novel in the series written by J.K. Rowling, is in theaters now.
