If you recall, a few days ago I posted about Daniel Radcliffe attending the BFI Movie-Con III, well now there are videos online from his appearance thanks to SS!

In a new interview with Empire Online, Daniel Radcliffe discusses Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and mentions where Part II will begin.

The final instalments of Potter will be a poignant farewell spread over two parts and the next 11 months. Luckily, as Radcliffe explained, it’ll have emotional beats and moving character arcs galore (Part One), truckloads of action (Part Two), and dastardedly Voldemort deeds (both).

“The first one is a weird road movie kind of thing,” he said. “Compared to the second part it’s slower paced, but that’s only relative. It’s more of an exploration of the relationship between the characters. You see those friendships tested for the first time.”

And what of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part Deux? “The second one is this non-stop rollercoaster of battles and heists. It starts off as this heist movie and turns into this all-out war.” So there it is: Fear And Loathing meets Ocean’s 11 with Muggles and wizards. We think.

Daniel Radcliffe made a surprise visit to the MovieCon III for their Harry Potter presentation!  With this appearance we have a wonderful new interview, read some snippets below.

What was making this double Potter like though?
“It was hard. Before, the producers and directors were very good at taking all the pressure on their shoulders, but this time going into it we were slightly more nervous than we were before, because we didn’t want to screw it up as the last one. It was a long shoot, near enough 18 months, but a film set is the best place in the world as far as I’m concerned. The first part is a very weird road movie kind of thing. The first part is slower paced, but only compared to the second part. There’s more of an exploration of the relationships between the characters, that’s tested for the first times. And you’re not in Hogwarts, which gives it a very different feel from the other movies. It’s a road movie, in a weird way, and it’s hwo the characters function outside those familiar surroundings. The second part starts as a heist movie and then turns into a war. It’s epic. The thing they did on the last day was to play us the trailer, and there was a collective sigh of, “Phew, it’s going to be really good”. This is the first time I’m genuinely excited to see the film. Because it was filmed over such a long period, I’ve genuinely forgotten what we shot early on.”

Have you watched the films on DVD?
“I do, but I rarely watch them. I have two friends – just two! – and one wants me to play the Lego Harry potter game with him, and the other wants me to give him an uncensored commentary with them sometime.”

So a Potter-thon?
“No! I do get really embarrassed watching the early one. I was talking to Emma on set once on set and saying how bad we were, and we were on mike, and suddenly I heard Mike Newell shout, “You got it because you were both BLOODY ADORABLE”.

Since then it’s been David Yates – has it helped having him all the way?
“I think whoever directed the sixth had to direct the seventh; you needed to ensure that there wouldn’t be a distraction there, of a change in style. I’m thrilled that David did them all, he’s the loveliest man, so quiet and soft-spoken, but he has an incredible vision for plots. He can see the entire film in front of him. He can come up to me when we’re doing scene 328 and reference something we did in scene 8, and I’ve got no memory for those things.”

What role do you have your eye on if they remake this in 30 years?
“I don’t! But if I have to, Sirius if they do it in 30 years, and Dumbledore if they do it in 50. But Sirius is the part that everyone wants; Ian Hart had just read the third book on set of the second movie, and he was kicking himself that he didn’t get Sirius. But of course I was glad that went to Gary Oldman, because as you all know he’s my true love.”

Not Snape?
“I don’t think so, but only because Alan Rickman is so indelibly printed on that role for me and I can’t imagine anyone else doing it.”

Daniel Radcliffe has recently done an interview for Out magazine.  In the interview Daniel talks about the Potter films, Broadway and much more!

thanks SS!

In the September issue of Total Film magazine, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and how different is is from the other films.  Director David Yates also weighs in on the issue.  Read the interviews below:

Thanks to SnitchSeeker!

In a new interview with the LA Times, Daniel Radcliffe discusses his role in the upcoming film The Woman in Black.  Some segments of the interview may be read below.

“Working is how I will best get through a very weird time,” Radcliffe said. “I know it’s the most constructive thing I can do because otherwise I’d be moping around and being a bit like, ‘Oh, I miss everyone … ’ So I’m quite pleased to go on to the next thing and the next challenge.”

“When I met first met James Watkins, our director, he told me about a quote of Stanley Kubrick’s, which was that all films about the afterlife or ghosts are innately consoling,” Radcliffe said. “I think there’s something about that that is very true to our story. While it is a horror story and it is very frightening, it’s also about loss and grief. I read it on a plane, and I don’t know what the people around me must have thought. I kept jumping and gasping…”

Radcliffe, who begins shooting the film this fall, will be on screen in almost every scene of the film, and it will be the first true test of his ability to carry a movie in which he doesn’t wave a wand. “People really have only ever seen my face with glasses on it … that’s going to change in this movie,” said Radcliffe, who’s also attached to a new version of “All Quiet on the Western Front” as well as “The Journey Is the Destination,” the story of slain photojournalist Dan Eldon.

Radcliffe says his preparations for “The Woman in Black” have helped him avoid the full emotional impact of leaving his decade-long role and costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Harry Potter Sorcerors stone “We, all three of us — me, Rupert and Emma — we just wept,” Radcliffe said of June 12, the final day on the set of the last “Potter” film.
