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.
You can read the whole transcript as well as listen to the interview here.
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'm soo happy he's returning for the 5th film, because, if he wasn't the movies just wouldn't be the same. I love that pic!

OR he can just ride around in his LIMO or Bentley all day with a personal driver and he would never have to learn how to drive!

I think its great that Dan is coming back for OoTP. I think if they were to try and change any of the cast it wouldnt be the same. I mean I dont see a point in changing the cast anyway because in the books everyone ages as the book progresses so I think it wouldnt be a big deal to keep the same actors on.

I hope the rest of the cast will stay for OoTP and the rest of the movies too. OoTP was a great book and I hope the movie is even better.

That's all cool. I hope that the actors can finish off the entire series before they look toooo old. It would be a shame to have to change at the last minute, it would really break the whole atmosphere for the films.

Dan seems so nice, I wish I could meet him...the celebrity thing doesn't seem to really get to him. It is also cool he is coming back to the OoTP. That'll be cool. I am looking forward to the scenes at Number 12 Grimmwauld Place, especially when Ron and Hermione become prefects.
Professor Umbridge and Occumency will be cool too...there is so much to look forward to in the next movie!!

I never thought that he wouldn't do the next film ootp, I mean it wouldn't be the same with out him or rupert or emma. Why wouldn't they, I wouldn't want to see it if they changed up the characters, I can understand if someone died(knock wood) like with dumbledore, but not for any other reason. I think this cast does a fantastic job, keep up the good work! I love you Harry/Dan.

Dan is hysterical. His sentence structure is just so random. It's so funny. His thought process is also so segmented and broken. It's like he can't get out what he's really trying to say.

It must be weird to read the book and know you will be acting out the part of the hero. It is funny to read about him talking about driving.

I'm glad they're not changing cast members. As others have mentioned, it just wouldn't be the same with other actors. He seems like such a sweet kid! I'm glad he's been able to keep a cool head in spite of his incredible world-wide popularity. (Yeah, 'kid,' what can I say? Shows my age, eh?)

Dan talks a lot, maybe that is a good thing. I can't believe that he is doing the fifth film, but you have to think, who would be Harry if Dan isn't. Dan is the best Harry EVER!

This sounds exciting. I forgot that we will be seeing Sirius much more in the next movie. It's a shame that he is not in movie 4. I really wonder what kind of car Dan will get?
