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.

I didn't know about his next stage role, I guess a lot of young women will be in the audience to check out what Myrtle saw in the Prefect's bathroom

I really hope he finishes out the series of movies. It just wouldn't be the same if another actor took over as Harry for the final films.

I'm so happy to hear an actor in these movies who is a HP fan too! I agree there is a very strong connection between Harry and Voldemort, I hope Harry doesn't die, but maybe he will have sacrifice himself :(
I wonder what he has talked with Jo, maybe he has asked her things about Harry, to understand him even better. :)
I really like to read Dan's interviews, they are always interesting, it's not like reading one interview with one of these famous Hollywood person who only knows to talk about clothes and superficial stuff... ¬¬'
Can't wait to see December Boys and his next proyects too, all sound very good!

I do hope he comes back to the sixth movie. This last in the series, it would be wrong to do the movie without him.

I love new interviews, shame she didn't tell him the end of book 7, though. I really hope they ask him back for the last two movies, I would die if they finished the series with a different Harry!

Where is the rest of this interview, it seems strangely truncated. The website (dr.com.uk) who first posted this is known for censoring articles, so it makes me wonder.
Maybe the article will turn up at the website for the newspaper?

I hope that Daniel and the others stay on to finish their roles for the next two movies... it would be hard to get into the movies with whole new actors playing the characters that we have come accustomed to having a certain face...
It would be so cool to se Daniel in the NUDE!

Daniel MUST MUST MUST / be in the move! You can't have another acto playing Harry Potter, befcause it would totally ruin the movie! The whole point of Harry is that we see him grow up! It has been the same with Daniel! He must be in the final two moives! They should have made him sign a contract to say that he will be in all the movies, otherwise there is no point of them continuing to make the rest of the movies!!!!!
*Sighs* Its okay, I'm a lot more calm now.

Manjit, the interview is not censored, if you go to DanRadcliffe.com or Mugglenet, they have the scan. :)
Crookshanks the Auror, the exciting thing is to see Dan playing such an interesting role, not to see him with clothers or without clothes. ;)

It's nice to see him involved in other things beside Harry Potter. At first I thought it was just Rupert who was getting to play other characters, but it turns out Dan is too. Where Emma in all of this?
I would really like to see that play, but I doubt I'll be able to. He's really brave to accept that he will have to be naked on stage.
I really hope they keep all of them for all the movies. I don't care if they're 25 playing a 17 year old's part. They allways do that in movies and TV anyway. It just wouldn't be the same if the Harry Potter movies didn't have all of the actors that they have now!
Again, I sort of get inspired and write page long posts. Sorry!

sweet!!! I think that DAN With ANY accent is HOTT!!! I think that DAN is obligated at this point to do any Harry Potter Movies... Only because all of his fans will be very angry if he wasn't in the movies!!! <3333

I hope he plays Harry in the 7th movie. He is an exellent actor!!! I think the Harry Potter movies wouldn't be the same without him.
I heard about him and his "naked" role. It sounds... interesting! *laugh* I don't blame him for being a little scared, but who in there right mind would be... excited!? Ya gotta love him, right?

Yes, but it's scans of the same scan (from the dr.com.uk source). Listen, I've been in Dan's fandom for five years and have seen things done to articles that would make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
I am keeping an eye on the herald website to see what turns up tomorrow.
