| | | Dan Radcliffe discusses Harry's anger in OotP
In an interview with SciFi Magazine, Dan Radcliffe spoke a bit about Order of the Phoenix. Below are excerpts, but you can see a scan of the article here, courtesy of DR.co.uk. (click on pic to enlarge) Quote:
Harry goes through what every teenager goes through, in a way. He feels angry. And, of course, Harry’s feelings are exacerbated by the fact that he has had all of these troubles in his life, and has had people trying to kill him at numerous times, really. And so he’s incredibly angry, sort of all the time. We did the scene the other day where he confesses to Sirius about how he feels sort of angry constantly and how he thinks he’s turning into a sort of a bad person. There’s a lot going on inside of his head, and I think that, for me as an actor, that makes him more interesting to do.
Dan also wants to set the record straight on the filming of Harry and Cho’s kiss: Quote:
There’s been this thing in the papers recently in England where I’ve been saying, “Oh, I had to kiss Katie 30 times.” And I’d just like to clarify: You normally do about 30 takes on any scene, whether it’s a scene with Dumbledore walking up stairs or whatever, because you just end up doing it from loads of different angles. And so we did that, and it was fun. At first me and Katie were both very nervous about it, but after about take four or five, we just started to get so we didn’t really care anymore. So it was fine.
And his post-Potter plans? Quote:
I think musical theater can be spared my talents. I don’t know … I’m not sure, really. Anything. I mean it’s very hard to say I would like to play this kind of part, because there are great parts in any genre. I mean, there are people, I suppose, I would want to play. If there was ever a biographical film about David Bowie, that would be an amazing thing, to be able to play David Bowie. But he’s not dead yet, and hopefully he won’t be for a long time, and so I think it’s a bit hasty to think of that. But, I mean, anything, basically, I’d like to do. Anything that’s challenging. Anything that’s going to test me I would like to do, I think.

Nice, I mean, great interview!
My cousin wants to watch the movie, mostly because of the kiss. 
Yup, I agree that every teenager gets angry through times like this.
I believe there are a lot of challenges for Dan, but not now. Soon, though.
He's an amazing actor. I have to admit that.

Good read!
A lot of people didn't like that Harry was SOO angery in OoTP but I thought it was pretty natural development of his character.
Harry is going through all the crazy hormonal changes of a typical teen-ager and that he has ALL of the magic stuff to deal with, too! Someone is always trying to kill him, he scared that he could be evil, the Duresly's abuse him, his parents are dead, etc. I'm sure once he entered the magical world Harry thought he'd be leaving a lot of his worries behind but instead he exchanged his old worries for new, worse worries.
I think it is perfectly understandable why Harry is soo mad all the time in OoTP.

No wonder he jumped at the chance to star in Equus. Don't blame him for wanting to avoid getting type casted for the rest of his life.
And yes, I saw Harry's anger understandable to some extent. Sometimes he did seem like a jerk, but influence and genetics can account for some. And puberty's a great equalizer. Show me one entirely rational teenager. And he has had a great deal placed on his shoulders. And it just keep going up.

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

Awesome interview! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DAN AS HARRY LOL: but seeing him in different roles just shows how talented he is, and ready for any challenge. It's soooooooooooooo cool that WB got such an awesome, hard working, trio for the cast. They grow and get better every movie,and I think that's one reason why people love the Harry Potter movies so much |
