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 love that Dan is still so humble. I also credit him for wanting to continue to improve his acting and learn from the legendary actors that he has the opportunity to work with on the films. I see a long, successful career in his future (including OotP, HBP, & #7!)

I hope everyone keeps their role in the movies, it'll be wrong to see someone else playing them.

It's so odd to see the differences in teenagers from the UK to the US. Here, if you aren't ready to drive at his age, you are crazy. There, it's really a privilege, and it's not easy at all. Good luck to him! :o)

I think they will keep these kids for all 7 movies. Why replace them now when they are just starting to develop into better actors? Everyone in Hollywood playing a 17 year old is 25 years old in real life anyway it seems.

I like how he said that he's looking forward to the scenes with Neville, rather then the kissing scenes. haha

And he's shooting another film, too. How is he fitting that in, I wonder. Busy guy. You do have to wonder if the interviewer was a bit clueless for Dan to reveal that 'somebody good and nice dies.'

I hope that he is gonna stay for all of the movies. Well course he has to like otherwise I just would stop watching the movies. Of course unless he has a secret identical twin brother..... Well he doesn't and that's the fact.

Thats really weird that he wants to do all of the scenes with Neville. You would think that he would want to do more of the action scenes.

These are such nice interviews, there are so many anyway, I can't read them one by one. But the bottom line is that Dan is a hottie, a down to earth one.

Thank God! I mean he's Harry man...i can't imagine watching anyone else. That is just wrong. With Richard harris dying and DD changing in the movies i almost had a heart attack. I don't care what the issues the characters have to stay the same. I miss Richard Harris!!!!!!!!!He was a kick ass DD.
