In a new interview with Metro Sirius Black actor Gary Oldman briefly talks about the Harry Potter series and Daniel Radcliffe.

Are you sad about the end of Harry Potter?

No I’m not but I’m sure that David Yates [director of  the last four films] is, because he  will never be allowed to work as slowly again.

Have you taken on any sort of godfather-ish role for real in Daniel Radcliffe’s life.

I know that, as an actor, Dan holds me in high regard. But it’s so strange. I saw him about a year ago here in LA and we had dinner. Here’s this kid who has done Equus and was about to star on Broadway singing and dancing. And he’s fearless. I remember this wonderfully bright kid who was 12 or 13 when I first worked with him.  He’s a man now. It’s funny to watch.
