With all the news today about the upcoming Harry Potter film, actor Daniel Radcliffe discusses how he has prepared for his role this time around by meeting with a grief counselor so that he could understand survivor's guilt which is so prevalent in the book.

Daniel on understanding his role in Order of the Phoenix.

Sirius is clinging on to James (Harry's father and Sirius' best friend) through me, and I'm trying to know my father through him. The same thing happens with me and Cho. I was the last person there when her last boyfriend, Cedric, was killed.

Well I can see where this is coming from. I now know that Daniel has really prepared for this explosive role, I insist that we need more emotion, even more that was seen in GoF, I'm sure he's matured enough in his acting. He has demonstarted that in succesion from film to film. Keep on going Dan and you'll be one of the greatest actors of this time.

I like how Daniel is doing his homework on getting a firsthand feel of what his character is feeling and what Sirius's character is also feeling. This shows that Daniel is truly serious about ensuring that his performance is convincing to the audience.

I can't wait to see how much Harry has changed in OOTP. The Luna actress and the Kingsley Shacklebolt is just perfect. I am getting excited for the next movie.

I wonder what really goes on through his head, knowing that he is gonna play such an emotionally entangled role in OotP. I guess the preps were good but it would be cool to know what goes on in his head.

Daniel seems to be so very deep. I mean for someone so young, he really goes the extra mile. Those are just things I wouldnt have even thought of.

I'm glad he takes preparation for his role seriously. I hope he gives some advise to Michael Gambon. It would really make the subsequent films better.
