There’s a new interview with Daniel Radcliffe in the New Zealand Herald; he talks about the darkness of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the division of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, working with Michael Gambon, his kissing scene with Bonnie Wright, the evolution of Harry Potter, and how he knows exactly what he wants to do with his life. PHEW! It’s a long interview, but well worth the read. Here’s the bit about working with Michael Gambon:
“I’ve always loved working with Mike, but I’d never had any big, in-depth scenes with him. It was exciting, knowing we were going to get a good run at those scenes. For the first four months it was just me and him, which was great. Actually when the rest of the cast finally came along, I thought, ‘I don’t like this’. I’d gotten so used to it being just me and Mike, who by the way is one of the best actors I’ve ever worked with, and probably the least professional. Which makes him an absolute joy to be around.
“He takes nothing seriously, is always having a laugh, yet somehow seems to turn it on the moment the cameras start rolling. Because of our lengthy time together it meant we had the chance to build up a great relationship off camera and hopefully that translated on to the screen.”
