- NICKELODEON MAGAZINE:
Was it hard to be the star of a movie when you didn’t have much
experience?
- DANIEL RADCLIFFE:
- It was nerve-racking. The first day on the set, I was very
nervous. I was used to rehearsing with about eight people, and then
I got to the set and, including the extras, there were like 150
people there.
-
- What’s the hardest part about acting?
- Getting the right emotions. Generally, I try to think about a song
or a book, and that emotion comes out with my expression, I hope.
-
- What was a hard scene to do?
- The mirror scene. It’s the emotional center of the movie, so I
had to get exactly the right thought into my head.
-
- Did you have to do any special training to
play Harry?
- Yes. Because I did a lot of my own stunts, I had to do a lot of
gymnastics training. One of my stunt doubles was this guy called
David Holmes. He’s a great gymnast. He’s been teaching me
gymnastics, and it’s so much fun.
-
- What was your favorite stunt?
- There was one shot where I was hanging one-handed from my
broomstick, twenty-two feet in the air. I was wired up to the broom
– with a huge airbag underneath me – an they moved me around up
there. That was pretty cool.
-
- Would you want to be friends with Harry in
real life?
- Absolutely. I like his curiosity and his loyalty. And his magic
powers, too. He’s so serious, but at the same time he can be very
funny.
-
- Daniel’s Favorite…
- Harry Potter Book: Number two, Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. “I suppose it’s the
darkest, but so much goes on in it.”
- Character: Hagrid
- Scene
To Film: The chess scene. “The set is amazing.”
