The final instalment of the wizarding franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, features a scene set 20 years in the future, depicting main characters including Harry, Ron and Hermione as grown-ups.
Speaking to MTV News, he said: "There's something extraordinary about the audience's knowledge of them when they were this high and then seeing them where they are 38.
"There's something really beautiful about that circle, so it has to be them. I think if after seven or eight movies, we recast them in that last scene - we all thought, 'No way, we can't do that'."
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) added that after watching the visual effects in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, he is looking forward to seeing the final scene: "I might get to see what I'd look like if I was 5ft 8in, which will be a thrill for me!"
