In a new interview with Metro, actor Gary Oldman, who portrayed the role of Sirius Black in the
Harry Potter film franchise, commented on whether or not he would miss working in the movies upon completion. Oldman also briefly discussed his relationship with Daniel Radcliffe.
Quote:
Are you sad about the end of Harry Potter?
No I’m not but I’m sure that David Yates [director of the last four films] is, because he will never be allowed to work as slowly again.
Quote:
Have you taken on any sort of godfather-ish role for real in Daniel Radcliffe’s life.
I know that, as an actor, Dan holds me in high regard. But it’s so strange. I saw him about a year ago here in LA and we had dinner. Here’s this kid who has done Equus and was about to star on Broadway singing and dancing. And he’s fearless. I remember this wonderfully bright kid who was 12 or 13 when I first worked with him. He’s a man now. It’s funny to watch.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II will be released in theatres and IMAX 3D this July.
