Dan recently spoke to HollywoodOutbreak about his upcoming film release, The Woman in Black and how he hope fans perceive it, and his successors in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Darren Criss and Nick Jonas. That can be read here.

Daniel Radcliffe: The part was great because it was an older part - you know, I'm playing older than I normally have, which is different for people, and I'm playing a father which is a bit of a leap for some people. I don't quite understand why because I think we put Arthur's age at about 24-25 with a five-year-old son, which is completely conceivable in modern day, even moreso in the 1800s - late 1800s.

So it was perfect in that sense, but it wasn't so different that people were going to start saying. 'Oh, he's just trying too hard to separate himself,' and all that rubbish. What was brilliant about it for me was the fact that it was a great part, but the story was the focus, rather than the part. The story's what's compelling. That's the thing for me - it couldn't have just been a great part, with some really big acting challenges. I wanna do a film where people get involved in the film, and not about me, because that's not really what it's about. Although I am the main character, it's about the film as a whole, and that, for me, is what people will like about this film. They might be going in thinking, 'Oh, we're going to see Harry Potter do his new film,' but like ten minutes in they're just not really care about that, and are gonna want to watch the film for what it is.

Daniel: I haven't met either [Darren Criss and Nick Jonas] yet, but I look forward to meeting them. I would never deign to give advice; they'll find their own thing. I do want to talk to Darren Criss, since he is the guy that is going to be replacing me, because there is one joke that I have to give him that I was given by Matthew Broderick, who was given to it by Robert Morse, so every Finch on Broadway would have had this one joke, which I quite like the idea of. I've become aware of Darren Criss since I knew he was going to be coming into the show. I think he'll do a great job.

I'm kind of slightly disappointed for him because he only gets to do it for three weeks because I know that it's got to a place that, now after seven months, where I'm really really happy with the show. It takes a while, because you got to find all the nuances and stuff is. It's hard, but I think he'll do a great job.
