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.

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.

I can't wait until this movie comes out! It'll be much more mature, and all the actors and actresses will definitely do an exceptional job. With all this passion and determination to get a better understanding of his character, Dan will improve miles more.

I love what he says because I'd never looked at it that way, yet its so true. That is one of the main things happening in the book. Couldn't have said it better.

It sounds like Dan has come a long way since he fell into the first movie- hopefully the deep emotional stuff doesn't get eliminated in OotP like it did in the most recent film.

It's great that he actually understands what is going on with the books unlike other actors who have no idea what they are doing, and rely on their directors to tell them Everything.

Okay, so I see he grasps the whole Sirius and Dad and then Cho and Cedric thing but I also hope that he understands how dark and difficult his life is in this book and how hard this film is going to be. I love Dan and I know he can do it, I just hope he understands it is going to be hard.
