Interview from Genios magazine.

How did you become Harry Potter?
Dan: Since a year before HP1, producers were looking for the actor who was going to be Harry. I was 11, and, nevertheless I was quite nervous on the auditions, I got the paper.

2) Had you had experience as an actor?
Dan: I had worked on the tv production of David Copperfield from BBC and in the movie The Tailor of Panama.

How did Potter change your life?
Dan: My life has not changed a lot, however sometimes it's difficult to go out into the street. And I have to wear a baseball cap to not be recognised! Generally I consider first the amount of people that there'll be if I wanna go somewhere.

In de nieuwe Libelle is een interview met Daniel te vinden over Harry Potter. Hieronder een paar quotes. Interview in het Claridge's Hotel, London.

A few quotes for all the people who can't read Dutch ;)

"Harry Potter showed me I was good at something"
1) There comes a day Harry Potter will end, that will be sad, but Harry has an important role in my life. I will go on. I want to prove myself as an actor, but I will never forget him.
2) I'm still nervous when I meet people for the first time.
3) All the money I get don’t interest me. There will be a day my mother will say: We need to talk . This is how it goes with the money. That would be horrible.
4) I was bad in almost everything from learning to sport. And then came Harry Potter. He gave me something to Focus on. Harry Potter showed me I was good at something.

Hoe leuk is het nog om voor de zoveelste keer Harry te spelen?
“Heel leuk. Waarschijnlijk zelfs leuker dan ooit, omdat de films een steeds grotere uitdaging voor mij zijn. Ze worden steeds onheilspellender. De film die nu uitkomt – de vijfde – is op het eerste gezicht niet zo duister als de film hiervoor. Ik word bijvoorbeeld niet achtervolgt door draken. Maar wat er zich in Harry’s geest afspeelt, is wel duisterder dan ooit tevoren. Dat is voor mij natuurlijk veel uitdagender dan actiescènes. Als je die aan het opnemen bent, dan weet je dat het er uiteindelijk fantastisch uit komt te zien, maar eigenlijk zijn ze gewoon heel vermoeiend. Zo lig je twee dagen in het water, zo word je de lucht in gehesen om vervolgens dertig meter naar beneden te vallen. De eerste keer is dat eng, de tweede keer spannend, maar uiteindelijk wordt het gewoon en denk je: daar gaan we weer. Wat ik nu heel erg leuk vind, is het echte acteerwerk en dat is in deze film heel belangrijk geworden.”

Here is an exclusive photo of Daniel and I have good news: There will be more.

Update: Better contrast photo with no watermark. The picture is one from a Harry Potter photoshoot promoting Order of the Phoenix. (with thanks to Page from danradcliffe.co.uk and ofcourse Dennys Ilic) Comment from Dennys at danradcliffe.co.uk about the pic:

"thank you for the comments about this pic. it seems my long time obsession with eyes is slowly becoming apparent in my work and Dans eyes just tear control of the control of the camera from ones grasp. he is the most amazing and versatile subject i have ever had the pleasure to photograph.
cheers

Q: It's been a long time since meeting Rupert and Emma since filming. Are they different now as compared with before?
A: Rupert may not be different after about 3 years at all in particular (laugh). I think that we're growing up, and changing, but we actually meet very often. Maybe we don't notice it because we're always meeting each other. We have off between filming, and we had a considerable break in time, but we're working together for about 11 months each year.

Q: I thought there were also many active scenes this time, but during
filming, wasn't it dangerous?
A: There was a case I slightly feared about two times in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" but there wasn't in this movie. But I'm always watched by very excellent staff regarding stunts who are very steady, so I think I didn't have a dangerous experience this time.

"It's been my favorite one to do…The character is so exciting in this film. He's so complex"
