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.

That's a really funny picture with the article. Is that an old picture of Dan? I really hope so.

Its so kool to hear from Dan every once in a while...and I am so thrilled that he will continue to do the Harry Potter films, it just wouldnt be Harry Potter without him! I remember my mum telling me how hard it was for her to pass her driving test when she took it, but Im sure Dan will be fine and wont have any problems...hes not just a talented actor but a talented person, so I have faith in him that he will pass...

Well of course he better be back for OotP... he has no good reason not to be! I think with this big a following his career might go down the tubes if he abandoned us before the HP movies were all filmed. It would be a sad day that would be!
Great interview!

I'm glad to see that Dan will be back for OotP. He does seem like a great kid. Have we heard anything about the other cast members coming back for that movie? Just curious.

He's so cute. He seems like a good guy. I mean grounded and all. I'm really looking forward to the 5th movie, since the 5th book was one of my favourites. I hope they all stay for all the movies.

I've read the entire interview and I'm absolutely delighted that he's taking his part so seriously....
...and, most of all, I love the way he thinks that it would be "a massive HONOUR" for him to play Harry through the whole series, in all seven films!!!!!! --true, it would be a great honour, and I love him for acknowledging it!!! :) :) :)
And I'm SURE he will be indeed casted in the next three movies (not just OOTP, but also HBP and the seventh one)!!!
Um, normally I would comment a lot more, but right now I'm still really depressed by the UNBELIEVABLY NEWS that the film will be released in my country (Romania) on DECEMBER 23 (TWENTY-THREE)!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy to hear that he's comming back for the 5th film. I really hope that he does all 7 (if they make all 7) only because it would be so hard to see anyone else in that role. Dan has become Harry for us fans, it wouldn't be the same with anyone else.

YEAH! I am so excited that he is going to be in the 5th movie. I just hope that he will do all the other movies too. He is the best and I cant imagine anyone elsebeing Harry Potter other that Daniel. I hope that he listens to his fans because everyone(I HOPE) want him to be in all of the films. Same with all the other characters in Harry Potter. Dont back out now, you only have about 3 more movies left. Other than that i am very happy that Daniel is going to do the 5th movie. YYYYEEEAAAHHH!!!
