THE ALBUM THAT ALCOHOLIC ROBOTS LOVE
Grandaddy
The Sophtware Slump, V2, 2000
"This is like a warm and gentle OK Computer. I love the song ‘Jed the Humanoid,’ about a robot that drinks itself to death, and it’s all very sad. Now, this is a preposterous subject for a song, but to make it actually move you takes some skill, right? This is the perfect album to listen to when I’m on a plane. I just put my headphones on, block out everything and drift off to another place completely."
THE ALBUM THAT PUTS MALL-PUNK TO SHAME
The Libertines
Up the Bracket, Rough Trade, 2002
"For me, this album is a reaction to bands like blink-182 and Sum 41. The Libertines don’t even claim to be punk, they just are: They have the attitude, the intelligence, and this album is so raw it hurts. Does Pete Doherty make me want to smoke crack? No! He is an icon who just happens to take lots of drugs; he is not an icon because he takes lots of drugs. He is incredibly talented, and a little messed up. I hope he doesn’t OD."
THE ALBUM THAT'S AS GOOD AS KURT SAID
Pixies
Doolittle, Elektra, 1989
"Kurt Cobain used to say that his band stole everything from the Pixies, and he wasn’t lying. Doolittle is fantastic, it’s strange and brilliant. Did you know that ‘Debaser’ is based on that horrific Salvador Dalí film where he cuts open a person’s eye? My favorite Pixies song is ‘Where Is My Mind?’ from Surfer Rosa — it reminds me of this girl I had a huge crush on and couldn’t get out of my head. Nothing happened between us, which makes the song even more poignant."
THE ALBUM THAT MADE ME WHO I AM
The Sex Pistols
Never Mind the Bollocks, Warner Bros., 1977
"I love real punk — not Avril Lavigne, who thinks wearing a tie is punk. This is my favorite album of all time, and I got into it during the filming of Harry Potter 2, when I was 12. I was obsessed with punk back then. If the Beatles were a phenomenon, then the Sex Pistols were a revolution. Punk is about rebellion, about not caring what other people think of you, and being free. And it’s not about fighting. I don’t fight. I don’t spit, either."
THE ALBUM THAT TOTALLY CREEPS ME OUT
Manic Street Preachers
The Holy Bible, Sony, 1994
"The Holy Bible is like no album I have ever heard. It’s so dark, it really sounds as if they have gone into themselves and are telling you some very difficult truths. It doesn’t hold back anything. Have you heard ‘4st, 7lb’? It’s a devastating song, really upsetting, especially when you consider that their guitarist went missing 11 years ago and his body was never found. I like to think he is alive somewhere, but it’s not very likely."
THE ALBUM THAT BONDS ME WITH DAD
T-Rex
Electric Warrior , Reprise, 1971
"I got into this through my dad, who is a huge T-Rex fan. Most people my age, I guess, would have simply gone for the Greatest Hits, but I wanted to discover the real T-Rex, and for me, this is the album that defines Marc Bolan as a legend. Music should have the power to take you to very dark places and prompt some very strange emotions, but music should also be able to make you smile sometimes. And this album makes me smile so much."
THE ALBUM THAT'S BETTER THAN SHATNER
Pulp
Different Class , Island, 1995
"Will Steggle, who works in the wardrobe department of the Harry Potter films, is my best friend. Will’s 39 and he maintains that he used to share a flat with Pulp singer Jarvis Cocker, and that Jarvis used to steal all of his coffee. I’ve just met him — he has a small part in Goblet of Fire. Most Americans only know the song ‘Common People’ because William Shatner covered it. That’s just terrible! They should check out the original — it’s much, much better."
THE ALBUM THAT GIVES ME CHILLS
Hope of the States
The Lost Riots , Sony, 2004
"Like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, this band’s music is like modern classical. I hesitate to use the word ‘epic’ because everybody uses it, but this really is a massive record. Whenever I’m really into an album, I want to learn about the band’s history, and this one is pretty tragic because guitarist James Lawrence committed suicide just before the album was released. I suppose that makes the band more interesting, but it’s really just sad."
THE ALBUM THAT'S PERFECT FOR WELSH VACATIONS
Weezer
The Blue Album
DGC, 1994
“I’ve heard that Rivers Cuomo is a very strange man. Is that true? Well, I still think he and his band make terrific music. This, for my money, is their best album, even better than Pinkerton, but that’s maybe because it reminds me of a holiday I had in Wales with some really good friends. We would just laze around the house playing “Undone — The Sweater Song” over and over again, until we got sick of it.”
THE ALBUM THAT GETS ME INTO CHARACTER
The Arcade Fire
Funeral
Merge, 2004
“I just saw them at the Reading Festival and they were amazing. The drummer was drumming the backs of everybody’s head, and the keyboardist was wearing a motorcycle helmet! Their lyrical imagery is incredible: ‘Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)’ even alludes to evolution, if I’m not mistaken: ‘Forget all we used to know/And then our skin gets thicker/ From living out in the snow.’ Fantastic! I love to listen to this album just before I’m about to film a scene.” " I love real punk - not Avril Lavigne, who thinks wearing a tie is punk. This is my favorite album of all time, and I got into it during the filming of Harry Potter 2, when I was 12. I was obsessed with punk back then. If the Beatles were a phenomenon, then the Sex Pistols were a revolution. Punk is about rebellion, about not caring what other people think of you, and being free. And it's not about fighting. I don't fight. I don't spit, either."

Holiday message
Daniel's message to fans about the upcoming holiday season. It was sent to danradcliffe.com's Jenna.
“As GOBLET OF FIRE has now opened, I want to thank everyone for the support I have been shown at the premieres in London, Paris and New York. It really meant a lot to me and the enthusiasm in each country was staggering!
I know as Chrismas approaches, many of you are keen to send gifts, which I really appreciate. This year, however, I want to urge you more than ever, to consider making a donation to Demelza House Children's Hospice or indeed, any charity of your choice, instead. As I am not in the UK for several months, due to other commitments, I will be unable to reply personally to any gifts that I may receive.
I hope wherever you are in the world you have a wonderful Festive season and a fantastic 2006.
Once again, thank you for the kindness and generosity that you have shown me throughout 2005.”

Entertainment Weekly interview
Interview from Entertainment Weekly (EW) in promotion of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Four films down. Looking back, how would you describe your growth?
DANIEL RADCLIFFE The first film, there was a lot of energy, but the energy wasn’t being focused. That’s what I’m gaining: focus. Also, on the first three films, I didn’t offer any suggestions. I didn’t feel I had the right. Now I’m finding it’s better to say something than not say anything. Of course, then they say, ”Oh, Dan! Shuffle along.” But in general, I’m more self-assured about Harry being my character.
In Goblet, you tangle with dragons, mermaids, a sinister hedge maze. What was most challenging?
The underwater sequence. I trained six months for it. There was talk of someone else doing it and superimposing my face on it. That would have looked like rubbish. I’m glad I did it — despite the two ear infections.
Does playing Harry ever get boring?
Definitely not. I might as well be playing a different person each film, because he changes so much. Like here, he’s going through all that puberty crap.
”Puberty crap”?
You know: the first crush. Of course, when it’s your first crush, it’s not just a crush — you looove her.
Can you relate?
Every guy can relate, at least once. In my case, more than once. I’m crap with girls. Guys my age, they think they’re suave, but they’re rubbish and they know it.
You’re quite the little Hitch-in-training, Dan.
I don’t see myself going in that direction.
But you are a budding music aficionado — who are you listening to these days?
The Libertines. Franz Ferdinand. I respect Green Day, but my problem with American punk is that it all sounds like Good Charlotte. But I like that ”American Idiot” song. ”Now everybody do the propaganda”? Genius!
Last we spoke, you were playing bass and mulling a rock career yourself.
Not so much anymore. The future of music doesn’t rest on me. If I formed a band, I don’t think anyone would say, ”Wow! What was he doing acting?!”

BBC Movies interview
BBC Movies interview with Daniel, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in promotion of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
How do you feel about growing up with your character?
How do you feel about growing up with your character?
DR: In a way growing up with Harry makes it easier to act
in each of the films because I've been through all the stuff that he's
going through, like the hormones relatively recently. It's quite fresh
in my mind and it doesn't stop after you've turned 14. Then I suppose
it's been made easier by the fact I've been doing it since I was 11. You
get to know the character so well that it makes it easier to act in the
long run.
EW: It feels like I don't really have to act any more. There's so much of me in Hermione and her in me that it feels like I'm barely doing anything sometimes.
EW: It feels like I don't really have to act any more. There's so much of me in Hermione and her in me that it feels like I'm barely doing anything sometimes.
How much do you think you have matured along with
your character and did you make many suggestions to Mike Newell [the
director] in terms of your own acting?
DR: I think we've grown up in the normal way. I think there's nothing peculiar in the way we've matured.
In terms of suggestions to Mike, we spoke up. We are older now so it is good for us to feel like we're not just child actors any more. We've grown up and are now able to make our own acting decisions, obviously in collaboration with Mike.
EW: I think one of the great things about Mike was that he really treated us like adults and he gave us the responsibility. I remember sometimes I would say: "Just tell me how to do it! Please just tell me, I can't do it. I can't get this right." And he was like: "I can't tell you and I'm not going to tell you how to do it. It's got to come from you." He guided and directed us. I think I've definitely, definitely learned a lot from Mike.
RG: When I did the first film, I'd never done anything like it before and it was all a bit scary. Now I think we've all probably learned quite a lot since then. It's quite strange having a new director each time, you don't really know what to expect.

This has been given a 12A rating; it's much
darker and scarier than the other films. Are you worried that your
younger fans won't get to see it?
EW: I think to some extent our audience were first fans
of the Harry Potter books and so are growing up with the films. So it
should work out OK. To some extent we might have lost some of the much
younger audience.
I'm in it and I was scared! But at the same time I think that we will have gained from it. I think this one is much more of a thriller than it ever has been before. You can't avoid the fact that someone dies in it at the end of the day. There are some very serious and deep topics in it. You just can't avoid it. I love the fact that they haven't pulled the punches, I love the fact that they have gone with it and that they've made something which is true to the book.

What was your most embarrassing moment while filming Harry Potter?
DR: My most embarrassing moment would have to have been
the dancing. I mean, I really enjoyed it, I had a really good time,
because the girl was just incredibly cool. But I'd like to point out
that most other people had a lot more rehearsal at the dancing than me,
and you'll notice Mike very kindly didn't show anything below my waist.
It's dancing from the waist up, so you never see my feet move, which is
quite a good thing.
Q. Are you reconciled to the fact that the books are coming to an end? What will you do post Potter?
DR: Well, "reconciled" makes it sound like we're not
looking forward to it. I think we're all really excited about it.
We've got a while before the films end and we're not all absolutely
confirmed as doing them all. We're all definitely doing the fifth but
after that who knows?
I'm also doing a new film that's set in Australia. It's centred around
four young Australian boys who have grown up in a Catholic orphanage in
the Outback. The orphanage comes into some money via a donor and they
send the boys for their birthdays to the sea for a couple of weeks, and
it's just about the time they spend there. It's five and a half weeks
and no blue screen, and so it's wonderful! And so I think we're all
looking forward to going on to other things.
EW: One of the things that got me so into acting and one of the things I loved about acting was being on a stage with a live audience. So I think maybe something in the theatre. But I've had so many scripts for films through, which is fantastic, and I'm reading away and hoping to find something I really fall in love with. I think I'd like to do something quite different from this, maybe something a bit smaller. But we'll see!

I think I'd like to do something quite different from this, maybe something a bit smaller. But we'll see!
After wearing the same glasses for four years, will Harry discover contacts?
DR: I tried contacts in the first film because in the
book Harry's eyes are supposed to be a brilliant green and mine are much
bluer than they should be. So we put green contact lenses in but they
were excruciatingly painful. So I don't think we'll be going back down
the contact road if I can avoid it. But one thing that I think Harry
Potter has actually done - because I used to wear glasses a lot - is to
make them kind of cool.
JK Rowling has stuck up for any person who has ever been called four
eyes or ever been teased about it.
In an ideal world - and let your fantasies run riot - who would you take to your own Yule Ball?
DR: I watched Garden State
quite recently and fell in love with Natalie Portman so it would maybe
be her or Scarlett Johansson or someone like that. You said let your
fantasies run wild, so that's what I've done!
