here. Here are some of my favourite bits that include new information,
Quote:
Q: Are you getting any attention from the opposite sex?
DR:Um, maybe a bit, yeah. I'm not complaining.*
EW: Definitely.*
Quote:
Q: Was there a scene in the book that you liked that wasn't in the movie?
DR: There was one scene in the third book... I can't actually remember what Harry said in it, but it was something like – I may have this wrong because I haven't read the book in quite a while – but it was something like he comes out of Lupin's office and basically sits down, and it's almost him slightly despairing, but telling himself that he's got to get it together if he wants to fight the Dementors. That's all I can remember actually. Other than that I think I got to play out most of the great scenes in the book.*
Quote:
Q: (Prompts from the audience - "And a hug?")
DR: That was in, wasn't it?*
EW: Actually that was cut.*
DR: Was it?*
EW: Yeah.*
DR: I obviously wasn't paying attention.*
EW: No, obviously not, Dan!*
DR: Wow!*
EW:There was an awkward hug with Ron that was cut.*
DR: Really, was that cut?*
EW: Yeah.*
DR: I really haven't... oh, OK.*
Quote:
DR.com: Dan, Alfonso mentioned that you really pushed yourself to the limit during some of the more intense scenes during production. How did you, as an actor, prepare yourself for those scenes, and was it difficult to shake it out of your system afterwards?
DR: Basically because Harry, being a teenager, has the same feelings as every other teenager. But because of his past, I think he feels these feelings of anger or loneliness. Because of his past I think he feels more strong – more strong? (Audience: "Strongly") Thank you! Sorry - jetlag! So, that was hard for me, but because I obviously am feeling the same things as him, I just took what I was feeling and basically just exaggerated it and listened to music or anything to get me into the right state of mind for the filming. And then just hoped for the best once I was in there really.*
EW: Yeah, I have to say Dan just focused so hard on a lot of the scenes in this and in one of the scenes that he did, he was so into it that he almost fainted. He was really great.*
DR: It was one of the Dementor scenes, where it's me and Sirius by the lake and I have my soul sucked out. And I do this stupid thing where I forget to breathe properly and I hyperventilate.*
Quote:
EW: Dan almost bit my head off at the beginning when he said, 'Gary Oldman’s been cast as Sirius Black', and I went 'Who?'*
DR: My face just kind of dropped!*
Quote:
Q: Did you guys learn any Spanish from Alfonso? Did he teach you anything about Mexican food, or anything?*
DR: I was going to say, none I can really repeat! No, really! We've both started studying Spanish.*
EW: We're starting to learn Spanish at school.
Quote:
EW: Working with Emma Thompson, I had such a good time with her. I had really good fun with the scene that we did because she was very creative and she was very involving with me and she said, "Oh, why don't we try this? Why don't we do it this way?" or, "Wouldn't it be good if we said this line here?" It was really flattering for her to involve me like that. It was really great and I had a really good time with her on it, and I hope it gets some laughs.
Quote:
DR: I don't think there's any point in lying - it would be very hard to watch someone else play the parts. I don't know. We are getting older than the characters because there's a longer gap between the third and the fourth. I'm now 14 and turn 15 in a couple of months so I might not do all of them anyway... We're taking it one film at a time and if they do want me to do it after five, well then we'll just have to see then, I suppose.*
Quote:
EW: Dan listens to a lot of rock music.*
DR: Yeah.*
EW: I have to say, in Hair and Makeup every morning, he's out, jamming away in his chair.*
Quote:
DR: And Emma is actually a really quite fantastic singer as well. (To Emma
I know you won’t mention it yourself!*
