In a recently conducted interview on the set of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at Leavesden Studios, Daniel Radcliffe discusses the ending of the series and the sixth movie, Half-Blood Prince. He also talks about his next role on London's West End in Equus and his accent in his recently completed movie December Boys.
Dan on the end of the series and if he's spoken with JKR about it:
I've had talks with her but, not about that. I don't know anything that's going to happen in the seventh film. I hope it will be very, very good I'll go with whatever.
I think it will be quite exciting really. It may be the only way (the arch villain) Voldemort could be killed is if Harry dies as well because there is that very strong connection between them.
Dan on if he will participate in the Half-Blood Prince movie:
I don't know. But the sixth book is fantastic and if the script is good and does it justice, then it would be foolish to turn it down.
Dan speaking about his West End debut in Equus next year and appearing naked on stage:
All the other actors who have ever played the part have done that, so for me not to do it wouldn't really be playing the part. It would be a watered down version. It wouldn't be the same.
I'll be incredibly nervous, but I think 'It's in the script; it's got to be done.' I'm terrified, but excited.
Dan mentions at the end of the interview that everyone will have to wait to hear his Australian accent in December Boys when the movie is released and that he enjoyed working in a different country with a new crew.

Its very cool that Dan is doing other movies besides Harry Potter. Though what he said about Harry and Voldemort is interesting. . . And I hope I can get the movies he's doing (and Rupert's) here in the U.S.of A. If not that would be bad.

Ya... I don't think JKR would tell anyone about the 7th book and if she did tell Dan then I don't think he would be stupid enough to talk about the events in an interview...
Hmm an Daniel Radcliffe with an Australian accent... Sounds HOT!

Wow, I'm glad he's doing so much. I've seen Equus and it was a watered down version for the senior citizens, so good for him baring it all! I hope that the actors stick around for the 6th and 7th movie, just because it wouldn't be the same without them.

Well...that article is fairly awkward. I think Dan might be a little young to appear naked on stage...but hey, he's of age...

Dan has to run on stage naked?!?! That would be the high-light of my life, I think... Anyways. I can't wait for the next movie to come out, and it just woun't be the same if he, or any of the other actors, dropped out on the making of the last two films. They've gone this far, now let's end it together...

Unlike the legions of fangirls (and guys) lining up to buy tix to watch him take it all off, I prefer to see him with his clothes on.

How can he not be in the movie? Dont be foolish dan. AS for him being on stage naked...well that something a little daring and remains to be seen though I can't quite picture that-not that I really want to. No not so much.

So, Dan still thinks Harry will die? I am all with him about that. And of course the sixth book is fantastic.
Appearing naked on stage? Wow, that's new!!!
As for December Boys, can't wait to see the movie too....

Oh em gee, he has to do the sixth movie!! How awkward would that be to go see the movie and see a different Harry. It's like what George of the Jungle did-- really stupid.
O.O
I MUST see that play, I'll actually get on a plane to go to London to go see that play. I'd rather take a boat... but whatever it takes I will do. ^_^
And I must see December Boys as well. Can't wait for that movie! I must just scream out randomly in the theatre...

I think it is important for the actors to grow artistically.
I wish him the best of Luck.

Cool! Daniel Radcliffe is totally the best person to play Harry Potter. December Boys sounds good, too. I really hope he stays for Half-Blood Prince and Movie 7! He's awesome!

Well, I know that in 'Equus' there is a scene where he has to perform naked, but it is not really a big deal. It is on stage and not for a long period of time.
Good for you, Dan. Keep on expanding and polishing those acting skills of yours..

Um, why would he even think of turning down the HBP script? I seriously wouldn't see the movie if he didn't play Harry. That would be positively repulsive!
