    That was a good laugh. I was expecting a spoof done by someone imitating Daniel Radcliffe but this was far better than I was expecting. Now all we need is for some die hard fans to start posting responses asking for help to become a wizard and attend Hogwarts.

    "They're dead. I've done that." I broke down laughing.

    Really entertaining, laughed at the "see where that gets me" part.

    That was far better than I expected. As Oz mentioned the deadpan aspect of it makes it even better. The part where he's like "I'll show you my broom burn' then 'no, no put your pants back on' was just :awesome

    Whilst I didn't exactly rofl, it was quite good. If Radcliffe could've pulled this off in the actual movies, they'd be at least a fair bit better.

    You guys should watch the episode of Ricky Gervais' 'Extras'. He puts on a similarly awesome performance.

    Not bad. I was expecting when Dan was talking about Quidditch that he was going to grab a broomstick and jump off the roof tho...

    This. For whatever fucked reason, Radcliffe is only bad in...Harry Potter films. To the point that I legitimately, completely forgot about his stint on Extras, and raged at his derp-itude in DH part 1.

    To be fair, Harry's personality in DH is... pretty bad. I think I ended up reading the Spark Notes for most of that book.

    OT: LAWL!!! I want to see what this guy can do outside of a Potter film.

    If you watch closely, he nearly breaks his calm facade near the beginning, but he recovers nicely. I'm not sure if I could every stop a smile in mid form, so he recovered better than I was expecting.

    From watching his interviews, I always known he was a decently funny guy, and I never really blamed his performance on him, as much as directing and writing of script. Most scenes in all the movies are very rushed, and it seems to me that the Actors are rushed because of it, where it almost seems like they are reading lines.

    Aren't they re-filming parts of DH part 2 for that very reason - the "rushed" pace ?

    I don't really know. I watch the movies when I get a chance to, but I barely even notice when it hits theater's, and don't really keep track of what's going on in the movie franchise. I haven't seen Deathly Hallows PT 1 yet.

    Yes, they had to reshoot the trainstation scene (the epilogue) because they filmed it at the actual King's Cross Station and there were real people everywhere who got in the way of the filming.

    They'll be building a fake King's Cross instead so that they won't be disturbed.

    Also, I'm looking forward to seeing Dan in "All quiet on the western front". WW1 is a passion of mine and the original movie (from 1930) was awesome. They filmed a new version in 1970 that was good but to drawn out so I'm hoping this will be good.

    They should cast Dan in more humor roles though, I think that's where he will really shine.

    For some completely unknown (yeah, right) reasons, my immediate thought was "Has Radcliffe been reading a lot of post-DH fanfiction?"

    This interview was awesome and full of epic lulz. :awesome

    Something along the lines: "Bloody hell, why they didn't make this as a sixth movie? 'Romilda' was much hotter than 'Ginny'." ;)

    Admit it, he'd film it himself. He'd play both Harry and Cormac, and it'd be fucking glorious.

    That's Broom Burn!

    I laughed -- better than I expected given that it's actually the actor and there is the remote possibility that someone will have taken it seriously.
