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 so glad that he's really preparing to portray Harrry properly in the next film. I'm so glad that us fans have someone like Dan to take it all seriously and humor us obsessive fans. It's great!

Now that they are about to start filming all the questions are rising - the same questions which were of most importance before the other movies as well.

Now that the first questions are answered (Who will play ...?) we don't have to wait long for the next ones:

Will all of the other actors come back for the movie?
When do we see the first pics?
When is the movie released? - According to imdb it will be June 2007...
What is shown in the movie?
What is left out?
How long will it be?
and so on...

I hope some of these questions will be answered soon!

by the way, I find it pretty interesting that Dan is preparing so meticulously for his part. That shows that he really wants to improve his play.

That is good that Dan really understands his role. Of course he will have to do alot of yelling in this one too. BECAUSE HARRY LIKES TO YELL AT PEOPLE!

I never actually thought of that, it actually makes sense, how a person clings to the person who was last with the person they grieved about.

That's quite a clever way of learning actually. I never would have thought of that myself. One thing for Ootp, Rupert Grint needs to cut his hair.

I think he's gonna be emo again in this one. Which is really more suitable than POA. Yes, I do agree that Harry does yell a lot. Its quite endearing , really.

I think its always good for an actor to understand and know what they are trying to act. So its great that Dan is trying to understand his role and what it mean to be in the place that Harry is.

I think that's awesome that he's willing to do that kind of thing for the role. He was really great in Goblet of Fire, bet he blows us all away in Order. I noticed He mentioned Sirius clinging to him, so maybe Gary Oldman is returning? Hope so.
