What I Wish from Girls
Daniel Radcliffe has grown up: three months ago he celebrated his 18th birthday. And in his latest movie December Boys you can see, that little "Harry Potter" has turned into a serious actor. BRAVO met Daniel for an exclusive interview in London…
Bravo: You turned 18 in July. May I still call you Daniel? Daniel: (laughs) Of course! Please don’t call me "Mr Radcliffe," this would be completely weird! Just call me Dan!
Bravo: What did you do first, when you became an adult? Daniel: In England pubs are not allowed to serve alcohol to youngsters. Now I can go into a pub and order a beer totally legal. This was what I did. But the beer was not for me but for my friend. When I gave him the glass I felt quite grown up …
Bravo: You are allowed to drive a car. Have you already got your driving licence? Daniel: No, unfortunately not. There is hardly any teenager in the world who is less motivated than me. Somehow I just don’t feel like it. I know that it is important to have a driving licence, and I take driving lessons. But I really have to force myself to do it. I am asleep at the switch and maybe I drive a bit too cautiously and hesitantly.
Bravo: Did you already buy a car? Daniel: No. I couldn’t make up my mind yet. Although English newspapers reported, that I had bought a Fiat Punto. But the entire story was completely made up!
Bravo: You are still single. Which girls would appeal to you? Daniel: I would like a girl that is reasonable and not completely cracked. It’s important for me that she has got a sense of humour and makes me laugh. And of course she should be intelligent. These are the things I really pay attention to, when I meet a girl.
Bravo: Do you prefer a certain hair colour on girls? Daniel: I don’t look at the hair colour first of all. But I must confess that I’ve got a soft spot for redheads. Recently I met a redheaded girl, which is more beautiful than any other girl I met in my life. She is really extraordinary. Redheads are absolutely great!
Bravo: Do you believe in love at first sight? Daniel: No, not really!
Bravo: Why not? Daniel: I am really happy when I meet a beautiful girl and be able to chat with her well. And when I have talked to her a bit longer, I might feel attracted to her. But this is still not real love! Such an intense emotion needs quite some time to develop. I think it means a lot of work. when you establish a relationship with someone. Love is a gift that you really have to nourish and take care for!
Bravo: Are you sometimes afraid, that a girl could just chase after your fame and money? Daniel: This is something I really don’t care. And I detect the ones that are only after my money immediately. I realize very quickly who is honest with me and who is not!
Bravo: How can you do that? Daniel: I’ve got very good instincts concerning people. It’s easy for me to find out who is fooling me and who is not.
Bravo: No matter what you do or where you are: You are always in the limelight. Do you think that you will be able to have a normal relationship? Daniel: I hope so! Many people think that actors lead a glamorous life all day long. And still celebrities fight as often as normal couples do.
Bravo: Is there any actress you have a crush on? Daniel: It’s difficult to enumerate them all, because there are many actresses, whom I really admire. Scarlett Johansson for instance, she is beautiful. And the Australian newcomer Emily Barclay is very sexy, too.
Bravo: Which love song do you like most? Daniel: I think the most beautiful love song of all times is "Into My Arms" by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. This is a fantastic song – I think there is no better!
Bravo: You are still living with your parents. Isn’t this sometimes a pain in the neck? Daniel: No, not at all. I’ve got a very good rapport with my parents. Our relationship is really close and we get along with each other very well!
Bravo: Presumably not many young people talk like this about their parents. So you are really good friends? Daniel: Definitely! My parents and me, we are best friends!
Bravo: If a good fairy would grant you a wish – what would you ask her for? Daniel: I would ask the fairy to turn me into the best cricket player in the world. That would be fantastic! I could take part in the World Cup – this would be my biggest dream! One day my wish will come true and then the coach of the British cricket team will call me (laughs)!
Bravo: You seem to be a real cricket fan! Daniel: I am obsessed with that game. This lasts already for about one and a half years. At that time I accidentally watched a cricket game and since then this sport doesn’t let me go anymore. This might sound a bit strange, but I can’t do anything against it.
Bravo: Which team do you cross your fingers for? Daniel: Actually I am more interested in several players than a certain team. But when it depends, I cross my fingers for Essex of course. My mother has grown up in this area – and my grandmother still lives there.
awesome! maybe we can get some people to translate it for us!

I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It wasreal. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back.
