| | |  Uncle Vernon’s “a shivering coward” in ‘Order of the Phoenix’
In an interview about his new play Equus, HP actor Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon) quells disputes over co-star Dan Radcliffe’s readiness for the role by displaying the utmost confidence in the young actor’s ability. Quote:
In the real world of acting, you do the job, and one of the skills you have to learn is whether anybody around you is weak - which Dan Radcliffe is not.
You have to make them look better, because that will help you. And that's something I'm used to doing - helping other people on stage with me to get on. But not with Danny Radcliffe - he's going to be fine.
Griffiths also had something to say about Uncle Vernon in Order of the Phoenix. Quote:
With this fifth movie, Vernon is much more frightened of Harry than vice versa, and as it goes on, you see that it ends up with Harry as the master and Vernon as the shivering idiot, the shivering coward.
Equus opens tomorrow at the Gielgud Theatre. | |

Haha! that's great. He always was a coward. Well, Harry is much more powerful now, anyway.

Lol! Vernon is definately a coward and bumbling idiot! It's funny to hear the actor playing him say it though!
Danny sounds hysterical!

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

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. | |
