The Guardian has posted a new interview with Daniel Radcliffe where he discusses many things, including Emma going to Brown University.
He suspects Watson has a harder time. “Not so much [with] people but with paparazzi. Generally speaking, it’s so much harder for girls. Guys are naturally lazy, and we like to lie around at home, so we don’t give people many chances. Whereas girls want to get out, socialise and meet people.”
But Watson seems to be enjoying all the opportunities for photoshoots and red carpet premieres. “Yeah, totally, but she’s much more natural at them than I am. She’s more suited to being able to talk to anyone – I get very nervous about those events. She’s been photographed at a lot of [fashion] things, and I think that’s a world she’s very interested in. I’ve seen some of the clothes she’s designed and [they’re] very good. She’s very clever. Do you know her GCSE results?” His eyes boggle: “I was thrilled with mine – seven Bs, two As and an A*. I think Emma got three As and seven A*s – she’s incredibly academic, it’s frightening. Me and Rupert to all intents and purposes dropped out of school. And she’s going to Brown.” He shakes his head in admiration of Watson’s place at the US Ivy League college.

In a new interview with PEP Dan Radcliffe, David Heyman, Michael Gambon and David Yates talk Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
“For me, the Harry Potter films have always been about a loss of innocence,” says Daniel Radcliffe, the actor behind the title character, who can perhaps no longer be called the boy wizard. “When Harry came into this world, it was all just amazing and brilliant and kind of pure. But as the films have gone on, that’s totally disintegrated, and he’s realizing that the wizarding world has just as many, if not more, challenges than the world he grew up in before.”

The New Zealand Herald has a new interview with Daniel Radcliffe.
“There’s loads of darkness and not many laughs there, so David said it was best to give the audience as much comedy as we can while we can. There are huge opportunities for comedy in the sixth film and we use all of them, even though my natural inclination is not towards that. I love watching comedy but doing it is something else.”
“I’m very happy that the seventh book is being made as two films,” notes Radcliffe, “because I was worried they would have to cut important scenes. For example in the fourth film you could cut out the house elf sub-plot and it doesn’t affect the main story in any way. In the second film they cut out the Nearly Headless Nick Death Day Party. In fact that whole character has fallen by the wayside. The problem with doing that with the final book is that there is nothing that doesn’t relate to the main story or drive it forward. There’s not much you could cut. So we’ve given ourselves the room and opportunity to do it justice.”
Radcliffe was more than ready for the romance. “By the time I made this film I’d done a nude scene on stage and a few kissing scenes, so I was totally blase,” he says. “Poor Bonnie was very nervous. I hadn’t factored that in. I’d taken it for granted that she’d be fine too. She’d never had to do that so I had to be calming with her and she did very well. Then of course you have Rupert and the carnal delights of his relationship with Lavender, which is very entertaining,” he laughs.

Someone has typed up Daniel Radcliffe’s interview in Tu magazine, you can see the scans here at TrioNetwork. Here are some segments:
What is your favorite thing about this new movie?
Wow, so many things! It’s great, it’s been definitely a great experience. Acting with Michael Gambon, who plays Dumbledore. Even though I had worked with him in the previous movies, this time around we were working together the first four months of filming. Definitely our relationship grew stronger, onscreen and off screen.
Do you have any fun anecdotes from the set?
Michael Gambon is one of the most respected actors of his generation, but he’s one of the least serious actors (laughs). It seems that he’s never focused, he’s chatting with everyone all the time, joking around, teasing people, eating. But when they say “action!”, he transforms himself completely into this character, just in the same tone of voice in which he left the character the last time. While the rest of us need a few moments to connect with the character, he doesn’t need anything, he’s a genius.
You’re 19 years old. How do you handle your daily life after becoming so famous?
If you mean going to a pub, or on a date or to the movies I must confess that at times is complicated because people recognize me. And there’s paparazzi, who can be very intimidating and aggressive. I’m not one of those guys who likes to go clubbing, I hate crowds and I hate electronic music. When I’m not working I go out with my friends, I like to read because I’m an insomniac, I watch TV and I try to have fun.
Thanks to HarryPotterLA
