While fans are familiar withThe BatmanStar’s distaste forThe Twilight Saga, which despite its box office success, was panned critically, he also doesn’t share fond memories of his work inthe Harry Pottermovies.

Robert Pattinson Wasn’t Thrilled Playing the Absurdly Handsome Cedric Diggory
Robert Pattinson‘s Cedric Diggory ended up being a pretty likable character unlike Draco Malfoy, who played a pivotal part inHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. However, Pattinson wasn’t quite thrilled about Diggory, following the contrasting nature between him and Diggory. Unlike the magic wizard, he was never the popular kid and didn’t see himself fit to be a leader. PerRobert Pattinson: The Unauthorized Biography, theGood TimeStar claimed that tackling the role was“even scarier than meeting Lord Voldemort”.
“In the book, and also in my [character’s] first introduction in the script, it’s like, ‘an absurdly handsome 17-year old,’ and it kind of puts you off a little bit, when you’re trying to act, and you’re [also] trying to get good angles to look good-looking and stuff. It’s really stupid; you’d think I’m really egotistical. But I think that’s the most daunting part about it – it’s much scarier than meeting Lord Voldemort.”
But despite his grievances with Cedric Diggory, it didn’t hold him back from delivering an impeccable performance, which would give his career a massive boost. However, moving forward Pattinson didn’t let the popularity of theHarry Potterfranchise define him, as he kept on ascending to the top through delivering acclaimed gems, ultimately landing the role of Batman.

Robert Pattinson Had a Harder Time Dealing With Stardom Than His Co-stars
WhileHarry Potter and the Goblet of Firepushed Robert Pattinson to stardom, unlikeDaniel Radcliffe, Pattinson had a harder time dealing with rising to fame. Considering that Radcliffe was busy filming the first twoPotterflicks concurrently, he“had a very gradual easing into the idea of fame”, which wasn’t the case for Pattinson. Speaking toThe Hollywood Reporter, Radcliffe said,
“I was in studios filming and kind of unaware that this thing was going massive outside. Whereas Rob, [he] was suddenly the most famous guy in the world. I think that’s a lot harder to deal with.”
