 Thing is, it's very easy to be righteous from a distance. It's his life. It's not my business to say what is wrong or right.I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director. I think I'm highly normal. I'm attending school after acting, I'm going out with friends, going to the cinema - I'm just doing everything a normal teenager does. People think I can't leave the house without being in a crowd of fans - but that's not true. I'm able to do more things than people might think. Stage is much more intimidating than going before the cameras, because you can really screw up, and can't do a retake. I'm lucky enough to have a job that I love, and a relatively down-to-earth life. It's not so much that they don't want me to grow up. It's that they're annoyed that I'm growing up adjusted. They'd much rather I was growing up and going wild and crashing cars. What everybody would love to see is me having ditched school and then just going wild. That's what I'm determined not to give them. People will always remember Harry, but I think if I work hard enough other characters will stick in their minds as well. I feel OK about my body. Not totally, of course, no one my age does ... but I've gone to the gym to make sure. And many of the actors I admire, like Gary Oldman, have gone naked. I didn't look at the nudity and go, oh great. But it's the same as doing a role with an accent or a particular affectation. You look at the character first. Lots of the actors that I've admired have at one stage or another taken their kit off. It's a rite of passage. That iconic scene is the physical and emotional climax of the play. So if I do that with pants on, it would be crap. I don't understand girls, but I'm slowly learning. Everyone on the set has a mobile phone, and I found by pushing a few buttons, they could be programmed into different languages. I fixed Robbie's (Coltrane) to speak in Turkish. I played a trick on the make-up department where I put a fake blood capsule in my mouth, pretended to trip on the stairs and let the blood come out of my mouth. They really fell for it, then they chased after me with a water pistol. When I get into trouble at school I'd like to take an invisibility cloak, drape it over me and sneak out the door. Or I'd like to have a 3-headed-dog because then no one would argue with me. I'm thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments. Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself. When I go back to school everyone asks a lot of questions. Then, after about a week, when I've answered everything, we get back to normal. I've never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don't get the people who are cool. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they don't interest me. I'm not clumsy, I'm just accident prone. I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, 'Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?' and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life. But I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think I'll do all of them - I'll probably get too spotty or too tall or I'll shrink or something. I don't know. People tell me I look mournful. They say, "Cheer up, Dan, it's not that bad!" Sometimes I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I'm a happy person. Though I don't, like, dot my "I's" with hearts or anything - that would be too happy. I think I'm a tiny bit like Harry 'cause I'd like to have an owl. Yeah, that's the tiny bit, actually. |
I'm the only kid in the world who doesn't want an eighth Harry Potter book. (quoted in August 2007 issue of Details magazine) I think it would be very hard to go out with an actress, because they're mad. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But completely barking. (Quoted in August 2007 issue of Details magazine) All it takes is for me to be seen chatting up a girl for [tabloids] to, you know, make up some crappy headline about me being a sex rat or whatever they call it. (on why he doesn't go to nightclubs, quoted in Details magazine August 2007) I was in the bath. It was David Heyman the film's producer who called, and he told my dad. He rushed upstairs and told me, and I started to cry -- out of joy, or course. (on getting part of Harry Potter) I cried when I saw my name in the end credits [for the first time]! I've always believed in magic, a hundred percent. I'm fascinated by it. Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself. I'm thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments. In a way, ... growing up like this with Harry makes it easier to act in each of the films, because I've been through all the stuff that he's going through, like the hormones, relatively recently. So it's quite fresh in my mind. And then I suppose it's been made easier by the fact I've been playing Harry Potter since I was 12. You get to know the character so well that it makes it easier to act in the long run. One of the things that has been amazing has been my parents, who have kept me completely grounded the whole time and I've never got big-headed or anything. I thought it was really weird seeing my face up on the screen. (quoted in August 2007 issue of Details magazine) The whole series is about the loss of innocence, ... In the first one [Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone], everyone's very wide-eyed, almost naïve. Harry's thinking that because he's entering a magical world, it's got to be better than the world he's come from. But it's not - it's just got further extremes. It can have extreme joy, but there are also the depths that man can sink to. There's never enough time to do nothing. He suffers from the same frailties and hormonal-related problems as all sorts of people his age, but he's also going through this massive thing of almost paranoia, where someone's trying to get at him, trying to destroy his life, but he doesn't know who. Some invisible force is trying to tamper with his life in some way. (on character Harry Potter) This has given me a feeling of confidence, which I might not have had otherwise. (on Harry Potter experience) I really wanted to be good at it because both my parents were competition dancers and I really wanted to get those genes. But I guess I didn't. (on the movie scene in which Harry Potter dances at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Yule Ball) |
