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.

Wow. I think it's great that he's doing all this background research and preparation for the movie. It's amazing to see the dedication that the actors put into getting their portrayal of their characters correct. I can't wait for the movie to come out!

It sound like Dan wanted to really be able to show what Harry is feeling at this point in the series. It's good that he looked in to bereavement.

That is so sad. This is going to be a really sad movie. I liked the book and hated it at the same time. I'm sighing for everybody who can't see me(everybody in the world).

That's awesome that Dan is growing with his role. I love how he is fitting into the character perfectly and maturing along with Harry and all the emotional instability he is going through.

Hehe, he met with a grief counselor? That must have been interesting. I saw a counselor once and I didn't go back. Let's just say that it was... interesting!

I'm impressed with how serious Dan is taking his role for OoTP. He is putting more stake into his character's emotions; etc than some of the adult actors who have admitted that they've never even read the Harry Potter books.

That's a very good move on Radcliffe's part.

He is really trying to act the part professionally and with great care, and it says something about just how involved he is in the movies.

Very cool.

Well that was common knowledge for like everyone on this site. It's still good to know that Dan knows this as well - he'd better play Harry well, it was a really good book!

Ah yes, that's very good. I'm glad he's a least learning and exploring his character in detail before he goes off filming. I'm glad someone like a counselor helped him understand what he was dealing with :)
