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.

Thank the good Lord! We can't have an OoTP without him! Also, I hope he gets other parts, and is not Typecast as so many actors/actresses are!

Dan's no.1 fan 4ever says:
Well...what can I say, except that I love him so much! I love hearing new things about him...but what I hate is when people say things like "He's starting to look cute now." He has ALWAYS been cute as far as I'm concerned....and I hate the fact that more people are beginning to fancy him as he is getting older. Maybe I'm being selfish, I dunno. It's just how I feel :@/

Cool interview. He seems very grounded with a good handle of things. I'm glad that he liked the sixth book, as it seems most people did (at least most of my friends). It's just horrible that he had the ending ruined for him. That's so not cool. :-P

Dan is so cute. I would be so mad if he didn't finish all the movies. AH! I think that he would. I'm sure he knows how to drive good, he's silly.

I'm so happy that Dan is going to play Harry Potter. He is a good actor. He was made to play Harry. It would not be a Harry Potter movie without Dan was not in the movie. I feel like that about all the actors who play in the movies. It's still weird to me that Richard Harris is not Dumbledore. He was so perfect for that role.

That was a great interview. he seems so cool, and he's like every other teen. I even have some of the same problems as him like essays, but I'm getting better at them. And driving, but i know that I'm going to be a good driver because I've already started practicing and both my parents are great drivers.

He is very grounded which is good to see from someone with the opportunities that he has been exposed to. It's also good to see that he wil be returning-if they replaced any characters they'd have a riot on thier hands!

That was a great interview! I'm glad to hear that Dan is staying as Harry. I think it would be weird to replace ANY of the actors at this point. It just wouldnt fit! Anyways...awesome interview!
