Post Dan Radcliffe talks Deathly Hallows (spoilers!)

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly Dan Radcliffe talks about Deathly Hallows - how long it took him to read it, what surprised & shocked him the most, the flaws of characters, the closure the book gave, characters that survive and what he did when he finished.

SPOILER!!: What surprised or shocked you the most?

Dobby's death. He's always been a comic character, in some ways. And that's what makes it so powerful, I suppose. I'm sure Jo's had that planned for a very long time. That was one of the bits that made me surprised. One of my other theories had been that Snape would end up being a sort of tragic hero, and so I was pleased to see that one in fact come through. That [idea] was given to me by a guy interviewing me, a while ago. He said he thought that would be the case. And I thought, Oh, that's very good.


SPOILER!!: In a way, Harry...
actually does die, because he believes he's going to die. There's a profoundly, existentially lonely passage in the chapter when he prepares to let himself be killed.

In a way, the time between Harry learning he has to die and actually dying —

Or believing he's dying...
That time wasn't short enough to be painless. But it wasn't long enough for him to find complete acceptance within it either. He struggles to find acceptance. Ultimately, he finds a sort of acceptance. But he's not necessarily reconciled with the idea of it. He knows he has to do it, but he's still scared. I just can't wait to be able to film it. I think Jo has given me, once again, an amazing opportunity to step up. So hopefully I'll be able to.


The entire interview can be read here and here.

I still can't believe that one of my fave charries is gone. I am glad that I was right about the one being on Harry's side.

Thumbs up Well Said Daniel!!

I couldn't agree with him more! What he said about finishing the book, how he wasn't sure what else to do, I totally agree with him! And it absolutely stays with you for quite a while. I still think about it all the time! I'm so glad the way J.K. Rowling finished this series :-) I can't wait to pass it along to my children when they are old enough!

Good to know he doesn't face HP as just work and a movie to be made and actually connects the facts and had theories of his own. This thought occured to me when he says he remembered that bit from the fourth book.
