| | | Dan Radcliffe talks Cho & Harry in GoF
A new video interview segment with Dan Radcliffe can be seen at MSN Video. He talks about Harry's crush on Cho Chang in ' Goblet of Fire'.
To view the video go here and search 'Goblet of Fire' in the search bar. Quote:
"I feel really sorry for him at some parts, simply because I know how it feels to be standing there going 'hmm...yeah,' and having nothing to say. He falls completely in love with Cho Chang.
It's not even a crush; he loves her. Hormones sort of drive you to extremes, particularly when it's the first girl you ever fancied or ever had a crush on. It's not a crush, you know; it's love, and you're meant to be together."
For the most part Dan talks about how Harry sees his feelings towards Cho - he thinks he's in love because it's his first crush but it later becomes clear, in OotP, that it wasn't love. But to Harry, in GoF, it is.
Screencaps can be seen here.

I can't get the video to work, it says 'errors on page' to me.
*shrug*
This kind of gives you the impression he's talking from experience. And he's right, Harry DOES think he's in love and that they should be together forever. To the person involved, it is love to them, even if it turns out afterwards, that it wasn't. Awww bless.
Edit: I love the way he says, "He LOVES her." like it's not just a small crush, it's a huge big deal. Like he's really fallen deep, head over heels, crazy.

Some people are kind of complaining saying that “he didn’t know what happen in book 5”, the thing is that he is promoting this movie which is the 4th one, and in book 4 Harry was crazy about Cho, so that is a right statement from him. |

I'm glad for the caps. Because I don't use IE any more (and when I do it takes forever to load) I can't view an M$N video. And it is very true... to a young person who has a crush, they would think they're totally and utterly in love. But I dunno if Dan's talking from experience. It sounds more like inexperience... you know? I can't view the video, so I don't know, but it sounds like he believes Harry is truly in love with Cho and it's not just some crush, so it sounds like inexperience on his part.

hhmm...I wonder what JkR has to say about this..I seriously don't really believe that it's that serious  I think he was more infatuation and lust rather then love. love is sneaky business because it's not always the big feelings u get but rather adult love; compassion, understanding, willingness to do whatever it takes and stick with them through whatever happens. I can't say harry did this, so i don't think he loved her. otherwise he would have stayed with Cho and stuck with her through all that happens. cause if u remember in one point in the ootp he says he dosen't even care anymore or be bothered by her walking by like he used too..it's in the book. I think he had sympathy for her because of cedric but that was all towards the end.

Well, this is why I don't think Dan truly knows what he's talking about. It sounds like he's trying to insist that Harry loves Cho. I agree in Harry's mind he does, but it's still a crush and nothing more.

I believe he has, but he is not going to be talking about movie 5 when he is promoting GoF, in book 4 Harry was madly crasy about Cho, he was j ealous of Cedric bcoz he took Cho to the ball, so for a 14 year old boy it's love, that is why Dan cannot give away what will happen in future movies but the one that he is working on. |

The thing most of you are forgetting is that Harry thought he loved Cho. It's usually that way with your first major crush. You think you love the other person and want to be with them forever and then you end up not being with them and it hurts a lot at first but then you get over it and you realize you weren't really in love.
I think Dan got it right here. And it almost looks like he's talking from experience. If you can look back at your first crush you'll probably discover that it was just like that you loved the other person... it was only after you stopped having the crush on them did you realize it wasn't love.

Didn't watch the video - no speakers  , but I think those were good comments on Daniel's part regarding GOF. What happens in OOTP doesn't come into play yet as someone else mentioned. That being said, I think love in the sense he was talking about was a bit strong a term for Harry and Cho. No doubt he thought he was in love, but it never seemed like the meant to be together thing that happened with James and Lily. Anyway, we shall see in November how the on screen chemistry turns out.

It's not that Harry IS in love with Cho. It's that Harry BELIEVES he's in love with Cho, in GoF. Obviously post-OotP, it's quite clear that it wasn't love and neither was it meant to be. But Dan's speaking in the context of the fourth film and how Harry feels about his crush. The way Dan says 'love' and 'meant' shows he's talking in-character - how Harry sees the crush, not how Dan sees it. Quote:
so it sounds like inexperience on his part.
I think what Dan meant was Harry thinks he loves Cho. And that's what people think when they have their first crush. To them, at the time, it's love and being together is the only option without the world caving in on them. But Dan sounded very experienced when talking about how first crushes make you feel like that one person is it and no-one else can ever be that. That's quite true of GoF Harry. Quote:

Dan doesn't mean that. It's clearer in the video because he puts stresses on certain words. It's not clear in the transcript, but he is talking more about how Harry feels about the crush. Dan's read OotP and he'd know it's not real love. But to Harry, in GoF, it is and that's what he meant.

Like they are meant to be together. We know differently but it's hard to be objective when you're actually in that situation.

Alright. I was a bit curious since I can't view the video. It just sounded like he was insinuating it as such. But he is so right... Harry pretty much believes it to be love. Quote:
Oh, my goodness!! This is hilarious!!  I think Dan actually believes that Harry loves Cho!  Which he doesn't. Has he even read the 5th book?
And I think he does in OotP too until the end, but it wouldn't matter because he's talking about how Harry feels in GoF. |

I admit, it's hard to tell from the transcript which why I was so eager to get the bloody video to work  but it eventually worked and in between all the pauses and 'ummms' I could make out what he meant.

LOL I guess I should be thankful that I can't get the video to work... I'd be throwing things at all his 'um's. Which is quite hilarious because I don't mind Rupert's mumbling. Most of the time I don't mind it. haha.

liking Cho.
He doesnt observe her tht enough to make him sound in love..
just fancy,.. not even crush..
he doesnt notice her at the table in Great Hall, how she does this n tht..
it's either tht or he has too much in his mind.
(Oh, n a bit off topic here..I might think tht JKR's tryna say love's not the thing for him or something.
or maybe he needs a girl who's practical, not expect him to kiss her
or act sweet and say nice things to her, or expect him to
hav tea at Puddifoot's on Valeentynes)
not

The point is, it isn't love, but Harry, in GoF, thinks it is.

Daniel was saying that Harry thought it was love. He didn't say it really was. You can tell what he means if you can actually see the video.
