Dan Radcliffe is on the media circuit promoting his new rom-com What If, and a new quote has the internet buzzing.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, Radcliffe said that his least favorite Harry Potter movie is the sixth installment, Half-Blood Prince.
This writer thought those comments sounded familiar. Yes they are: Radcliffe made the revelation once before in 2011.
“It’s hard to watch a film like Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, because I’m just not very good in it. I hate it,” he told The Daily Mail over the weekend.
“My acting is very one-note and I can see I got complacent and what I was trying to do just didn’t come across. My best film is the fifth one (Order Of The Phoenix) because I can see a progression.”
In the 2011 interview, Radcliffe said that while Half-Blood Prince is beautiful, it’s “basically about setting up number seven.”
Radcliffe admits that not many people were critical of his performance, including Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling. “To my knowledge she was always very happy with the way I played him, but it’s my job to be critical.”
The Daily Mail also asked him about the February story that Rowling openly considered what it’d be like if Harry and Hermione got together at the end of the series. “No. I’m glad it ended [the way it did. If Harry and Hermione had ended up together it would have been too conventional and it’s far better to be unorthodox.
“And I did get to kiss Emma, so all is good.”
