hi,
below are some parts of dan's and katie's interview on kissing scene.
for details u guys can visit people.monstersandcritics.com .
Katie Leung:
-Was it easy to act opposite Daniel?
Yeah, definitely. He's energetic and makes you feel relaxed. He talks to you all the time and tells you not to be nervous; it's great working with him.
-What happens to her character in this film versus the last; does she get to do magic?
Yeah, Cho Chang actually has a wand in this one, which is great. In the last film Harry had a crush on her but she had a boyfriend so nothing happened. But after her boyfriend died in Goblet of Fire, her relationship with Harry developed in this one. Although, she's bitter through the whole film because she can't get over her boyfriend's death. And that kind of complicates their friendship with each other and it ends in disaster.
-Is Daniel a good kisser?
Yes, Daniel is a good kisser, I really enjoyed it.
Daniel Radcliffe:
-How different is this Potter?
Very different so far — this role's more challenging than the ones I done before. Not physically challenging but in terms of acting, it's harder to do this one. And then it is different working with David, he's sort of got a very high quiet voice and he's soft spoken.
-This movie is also different because there was a big gap in the middle because we stopped for a month and a half to do school exams and stuff. So the production shut down in the middle, which was very odd because that hasn't happened before.
-Where is he in terms of his academic career?
I've just finished my penultimate year at school. So I've got a year left. But I'm taking a year out from school next year and then we're going to sort of look at it all again the year after that.
-Is it easy to get back after the breaks?
It might take a couple of days to get back in the swing of things. But because I've been playing Harry for so long now, you just sort of get into it very easily now, it becomes less of a challenge to get back into it after time off.
-He's 16. How does he compare his journey to Harry's?
It's the same; he has the same pits and troughs as any other kid his age. It's just that they're exaggerated in Harry's story. It's more than there would be for the average human being, because the average human being does not have magic.
And because of the nature of the story, he lives in quite an accentuated world, a sort of heightened reality. I think Harry's happiest moments are happier than anyone else could ever think of and his saddest moments are again probably more than people could consider.
-Could he talk about the romantic aspect in the film?
Obviously it sort of had its beginnings in the fourth film. And this time I would say it comes to fruition. It was great, the kissing scene was great, it was good, and it was a lot of fun.
-How does he respond to Katie saying he was a good kisser?
My God. It was fun; me and Katie – we were awkward and nervous at first but once we got it, it was fine.
-On which take did he get it?
Probably on the thirtieth.
In Equus, his London stage debut as a psychologically disturbed stable boy, Daniel has a nude scene; how comfortable is he doing that?
It will be a bit of cop out if I don't, because all other actors who have played the part have done it, so for me not to do it wouldn't be really playing the part. It would be playing a watered down version of the part. It wouldn't be the same. I'll be incredibly nervous, but it's in the script so it's got to be done.
-Is he looking forward to being on stage?
It's going to be nerve-wracking, but it's going to be incredibly exciting, it's a new challenge. It's something I've never done before. I've been voice training — learning to project my voice.
Most actors go from drama school to the stage and then into film. But I'm sort of doing it the other way around. I'm going from film to stage. And so it's an unorthodox way of doing it, but it's going to be quite exciting.
-Has playing Harry Potter all these years changed him?
I really don't know if there has been a huge change in my character as a result of playing Harry. I think I've grown up in the way most 10 year olds grow up into 17 year olds; I might have grown up a little bit faster possibly than other people my age simply because I'm around so many adults all the time. Most kids, the only relationship with adults that they have is with their parents and teachers. I've been working with adults since I was about 11.
-He's reportedly the sixth richest man in England.
I don't want to think about that; I try not to pay attention to it, because it's all speculation really, I think for the most part.
-What does he think of Harry's world and life?
Harry's life is pretty unfair, because he didn't ask for any of this. He's been thrust into this nightmarish world by circumstances and through no fault of his own. I suppose Harry's situation is the most unfair simply because he doesn't actually deserve it in the first place; it's one on the greatest injustices.'
