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'm really glad Dan is staying! It'd be hard getting used to a new cast. I like them fine the way they are! I'll come back later to read all of the interview since it still seems like there's a lot of trafic

I hope this means that emma and rupert will return too, i would hate it if any of the trio left, and if they do decide to change the trio later, i'd rather they all went at the same time, it would still be really sad either way!!

He seems like a down to earth person. That's really good for someone who's become so famous. Usually people aren't so nice when they are famous. Doesn't seem to have gotten to his head. Mr. Radcliffe I wish you a happy life!!!

Hey me and dan have something in common; worrying about driving. I know i am more of a hazard rather than a asset to the road, proven when i nearly ran someone over in a go-kart...that only goes 10km/per hour.
Well i am happy he will do the order of pheonix...wouldn't be the same without him, or the rest of the cast!!! hope they do all 7!!!(hopefully he won't grow facial hair before then)

I hope the original cast will remain for all the movies. Each actor/actress plays his/her role very well, and changing them would break the link from movie to movie. In addition, everybody has already gotten accustomed to seeing the original cast, so if a new one replaces an old actor/actress, maybe the movie won't turn out so great.

It's soooo..... good!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!
I always hoped that he'd do so.
I just can't imagine HP films without him.
I hope Rupert and Emma will do the same.
There can't be another Harry, Ron and Hermione!

Loved these interviews with HP starts .. and he looks way, way much better with the short hair! It's good that he's returning for the 5th movie, hopefully him and the rest of the cast will stay on until the 7th.

Daniel Radcliffe seems like a really down to earth person. I'm glad he's going to be in OotP, It would be so strange to see someone else play Harry Potter.

Oh Mt God, the fourth one hasn't even come out yet and Dan= is already doing interviews for the fifth one, how cool is that?!? Now I definately can't wait for GOF to come out, or OoTP, I also think that the scenes with Matt Lewis willbe the best part, because he's always been given small parts, should be wicked!!!
