In a new interview
with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe by fan site DanRadcliffe.co.uk, Dan discusses playing Harry, what he’s looking forward to filming in Order of the Phoenix (yes he is returning), his thoughts on the last book, Goblet of Fire filming, Mike Newell, driving and so much more. The interview also includes a new picture of Dan.
Part of the Q&A:
DR.co.uk: Based on having read the book then, are you looking forward to filming any scenes in Order of the Phoenix? You've sort of openly admitted that you're going to be back for that film, even though it hasn't really officially been announced yet.
Dan: No, I mean I'm going to do the fifth one definitely, which scene, I'm looking forward to all the scenes with Neville, because they are I think very sort of sweet and very important really because, you know, obviously in the fifth, we learn about the connection between Harry and Neville, and I just think it's a very important part and also because the guy who plays Neville, Matt Lewis, is just so fantastic. I'm really looking forward to doing some big acting scenes with him, because now we've not got a chance to do sort of any really substantial big scenes together which would be really good. I'm also looking forward to all the stuff with Sirius and the final scene with Dumbledore as well are the ones I'm sort of really looking forward to.
DR.co.uk: You're fast approaching driving age, have you taken any driving lessons yet, or learned to drive? Got any plans for a car soon?
Dan: I just want to get a normal car that gets me from one place to the other, because I don't know if I'll be safe behind the wheel of a fast car, and also because my dad tends to be the worst driver in the world! And he actually now doesn't drive at all so hopefully it will balance out. I'll be an okay driver, because my dad's the worst driver, and my mom is a fantastic driver, so hopefully I'll be somewhere in the middle, but I'm a bit nervous about it. I mean, you have to also, you have to learn how to drive, because if you get it wrong, and you can't drive a car, then it becomes a problem, I don't know how I'm going to do, but I'll let you know.

UPDATE: If you are having trouble accessing DR.co.uk to read the transcript of the interview, you can read it here. Please be patient, you will have a chance to hear Dan's responses once traffic dies down.

I am soooo glad he is going to do the fifth film - I hope the trio do the rest of the films together. It would be so hard to get used to a new Ron, Hermione or Harry so late in the day. And yeah - I know I'll need a box of kleenex for the Death of Sirius. I'll probably find myself crying as soon as he appears in that scene to be honest. Great Interview though!! We love ya Dan ;) hehehe!

WOOO! A DAN INTERVIEW! Haven't heard many of those lately...damn traffic! I want to hear it aswell as read it!!! :( I'll try again later...it's awesome that he is returning for the 5th movie, i think they all should or it would seem out of place if they got any new actors. Also it would be stupid to replace him because he's too short or tall, as Dan mentions in the interview...it'd be better to have a Harry like that then a completely new actor, since Dan has become so famous and popular....Anyway, brilliant interview, I look forward to hearing it, SOON!!!

Wow! I just finished reading the interview.Good Read!Daniel sounds like a real down to earth young man. I hope he continues to potray the role of Harry Potter for all the rest of the movies. He sounds like he's got a good head on his shoulders. I can't wait to look up his music list on I-tunes it should be interesting to see what kinds of music he enjoys listening to.

I thought Dan was older than that. Oh well. I'm very glad he will be back for OOTP movie. He is Harry Potter. If they change actors, I may not watch the rest.

Gee whiz! His dad sounds just like my mom! She is a terrible driver, well, terrible at driving on the speed limit. When I drive, I have a bad feeling it will be just like her driving; I don't obey rules that well.

Good, Dan for the fith movie! I think that he has improved since the first movie, I like the way he act, and for me he is Harry!
I can see that Dan is a really good boy, because of the way he talks about Matt Lewis, they show that all the cast are friend and it does't matter the character that they play!

I'm glad to know there will be a fifth movie (personally I think they would be stupid not to make all 7 books into movies) and it is nice to know he is still just a kid with all the normal problems, and that he hasn't grown up too fast.

That is awesome.
I am glad that he is coming back for the fifth movie. The movies wouldn't be the same if at least one of them didn't come back. I hope they all return. It just won't be the same if they leave.

It is cool that he keeps on for the fifth film as well... I do believe that it would not be good if the Trio changed now, after so many films... I wish Dan, and the whole set that composes important characters, (Malfoy, trio, Neville), not to change for the remaining films... It would not fit a change now...

Poor kid. I had a hard time learning to drive. It's stressful at first. But I'm sure he'll get used to it. I'm glad to hear he's coming back for the 5th movie though. It wouldn't be the same without him.
