As the actor who embodies Harry Potter's every move, Daniel Radcliffe certainly knows from heroism. There's the type of courage needed to battle a basilisk, for instance, or the bravery required to face down several dementors. But you can keep your dragon rides and your sorcerers' duels, insisted Radcliffe, who told MTV News that the scene from the upcoming movie, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," he's most looking forward to filming is the one in which Harry's heroism manifests itself in the simple act of telling a friend it's all going to be ok.
"I'm really looking forward to filming the cave and all the stuff in there with the lake and the Inferi," Radcliffe enthused. "Me and [Michael] Gambon in a row boat for a few days. It's gonna be amazing." (Warning: spoilers ahead for those who haven't read the book.)
The climax of "Half-Blood Prince," the cave scene centers on Harry and Dumbledore as they search for one of Voldemort's horcruxes, believed to be magically concealed deep within a cliff young Tom Riddle stole away to while at an orphanage. The pair find the horcrux, of course, but not before passing the Dark Lord's many booby traps - the most terrifying of which is a potion designed to make the drinker relive his very worst memories. It's here that Harry is able to save Dumbledore, who has tasted the brew and fallen into a screaming hysteria.
Which — as readers of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" could tell you — was all for naught, since the locket horcrux was already removed from the basin by Regalus Black and the house elf Kreacher. But now that we know they got there (and out), how will Radcliffe and Gambon? Will the expansive cave with the vast underground lake be entirely digital?
Not according to Radcliffe.
"I thought it was all gonna be largely visual effects, but they have built the cave," he revealed, confirming that the shoot will be all practical. "So it's gonna be very interesting to film."
We know what Dan's looking forward to, but if you were playing Harry what scene would you be dying (no pun intended) to perform? Sound off below.
