I just found the most adorable article about Daniel being interviewed by a young girl at the New York Premiere!
But it was his completely adorable interaction with a terrified 11-year-old reporter from Scholastic News that won us over for good. Imagine half a dozen pushy TV reporters shoving their mikes in Radcliffe’s face as he zeroes in on a little girl holding her microphone with both hands, voice shaking so much she can hardly form sentences. Radcliffe (to other reporters): “One moment, one moment. I will come back to you. [Locks eyes with Scholastic News girl] Hello!” Girl: “Hey. I’m Danielle from Scholastic News.” Radcliffe: “Hello, Danielle! Pleasure to meet you.” Danielle: “This is an HONOR to interview you.” Radcliffe: “Oh, thank you. You’re very sweet. Thank you.” Danielle: “I’ve seen the first and second movies and read the first and second book and they are SO good. Especially the movies. I loved them, the movies!” Radcliffe: “Thank you very much. You’re very, very kind. They get even better than that, though, so when you get time or when your parents think you’re old enough, you must watch the rest. They’re very cool.” Danielle: “Um, and I have two questions. How are you most like Harry?” Radcliffe: “I think in the way that we value our friends. Friendship is very important in both of our lives. I think I have Harry’s natural curiosity as well. He’s interested in a lot of things in this world, as am I.” Other reporter: “Daniel, how…” Radcliffe: “One moment, one moment.” Other reporter: “They told us to group together.” Radcliffe: “It will happen. One second, sorry.” [re-focuses on Danielle] Danielle: “How did Harry change from the first movie to the second? I mean, the sixth?” Radcliffe: “To the sixth? Well, he grew marginally taller. The films have gotten a lot darker since that first film, so I think he has had to get a lot tougher since then. Thank you very much.” Danielle [holding breath, then nearly dropping mike]: “Oh. My. God. Oh. My. God. That was soooo cool!”
The Scotsman has a new interview with Helen McCrory!
“In this film it’s about protecting her son. The fact that you have children probably makes a bit of a difference, but not enormously, because you do spend a lot of time as an actor trying to imagine what the other person’s feeling, anyway. As a woman you’ve played mothers before, and you don’t have to be a mother to understand what feeling protective is all about.”
T4 aired a Half-Blood Prince special, featuring footage from the UK premiere and junket interviews with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright and Jessie Cave.
