Dan Radcliffe On Goblet of Fire
via HPANA
Daniel Radcliffe, the 16 year old star of the Harry Potter films, did an exclusive interview with his british fan site DanRadcliffe.co.uk in which he discussed the making of Goblet of Fire, his plans for Order of the Phoenix, and more.
In the interview, Dan seems to indicate that he would like to play Harry in all seven films, barring any insuperable physical difficulties:
Yeah absolutely, particularly after having read the sixth book, I think it would definitely be a massive honour to play Harry in all of them. It does just sort of depend on what happens with, I mean if everyone else starts to tower over me, or I’m too short, or I suddenly grow loads, I don’t know what will happen, but you know, or I suddenly become too tall or whatever, you know, so it’s um.. obviously it would be an amazing opportunity to have played him in all seven films, assuming they do all seven.
Dan also goes on to say that he believes that Harry may die in the last book. It’s important to note however that he has no more knowledge of the plot of the last book than any of us, so his opinions are not definitive. I do find it interesting and heartening though, to find that beyond being a Harry Potter actor, he seems to be a true fan of the books. This can only bode well for his ability to continue playing Harry as the character evolves and becomes ever more complex.
