Actor Dan Radcliffe hosted a Reddit AMA this afternoon to promote his upcoming horror flick Horns, and his answers to several questions were worth sharing.

For the uninitiated: A Reddit AMA (short for “Ask Me Anything”) lets Redditors ask a person anything they want through a comments thread. Celebrities have taken up AMAs in recent years as a way to promote their latest book, film, show, etc.

Radcliffe’s had several highlights:

When he was asked a question about ‘Potter’ that he’s never been asked: If he were a Horcrux, what would he be?

“WOW.
Um… that’s a really good question. First of all, congratulations to you for asking me a Harry Potter question I have NEVER been asked before, that is not easily achieved!
I would say… I was gonna say my iPod, prolly put it in that, but I would put it inside an album on the iPod, so you’d have to open that album. So I somehow want it to be connected to a particular album that means something, like Ziggy Stardust. So that’s how I’d want to do that.”

Why did the ‘Harry Potter’ actors grow up to be so ‘grounded and intelligent’?

“I would attribute it to my parents and also to the crew of the Potter films, who were very good at treating us like kids rather than as actors, as they should have done. But yeah, it’s hard to say what it comes down to. I think also when you grow up in the media, you get a very clear sense of how crazy the media is, and you know – basically the countdown that Emma’s birthday was to when she turned 18, or 17, or whatnot, it was insane. It was insane. And I think when you see that perspective that we all saw at very young ages, you do get an extra level of awareness maybe. But also, thank you for the compliment of saying we are all grounded and intelligent, that is very nice.”

When he spoke about what he wants to be for Halloween

“That’s a GOOD question. I don’t know yet, I haven’t narrowed it down, but because I’ve very recently – like within the last 6 months – watched the original Star Wars movies, I’m like a brand new Star Wars fan, so I might go with something Star Wars related! And I got to go out to the Star Wars set recently, because a lot of my friends are working on it crew-wise.. so something Star Wars related, but not sure yet.
Any suggestions?
I’m leaning towards Boba Fett, but I haven’t found a good enough costume yet.”

When he spoke about his favorite ‘Harry Potter’ character

“Probably Sirius. Like I always loved the character, and then Gary’s portrayal of him I thought was perfect. Or Lupin, really. Any of the characters my dad used to hang out with, other than Wormtail. There was always something bout those two guys I loved a lot.”

When he was asked what it was like to work on the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies

“HAHA! Brilliant.
Just like… it was exhausting, but New Zealand’s lovely all year ’round.”

When he addressed the ‘Dan Boringcliffe’ meme

“I’ve been shown that meme by a few friends, and obviously there are quite a few Harry Potter related memes and jokes and things, you see these things, and I have to say that one really made me laugh! It made me enjoy my name way more than I ever have before. So obviously Daniel Radcliffe beats Daniel Boringcliffe 100% of the time.

And I suppose I should use this an opportunity to thank whomever made that particular meme, because it really is very good.”

When he threw the gauntlet down on Hollywood employees who are full of themselves

“I suppose I would… I would remove the bullshit hierarchy from the film industry, because there are certain people who do my job, and also directors and producers, who seem to think the job they do gives them license to treat people who work for them badly, and there is no good reason for that, and it should not be tolerated.
I know that if I ever get to direct, it will not be present anywhere on my set.”

When he addressed what Hogwarts House he’s in

“I mean, I… to me, it’s not a… to me I absolutely think I would be in Gryffindor! But there’s never any doubt of that for me. Yeah. I like, maybe I’m just biased because I played one for so long, but I could never picture myself in any other colours.”

When he was asked ‘did you put your name into the goblet of fire?!?!?’ and completely missed the joke

The joke the commenter was subtly referencing:

And Radcliffe’s response:

“You know what, I don’t think we did I’m pretty sure. Because I think that by that point, they had figured out my handwriting was so bad that they would never let it be seen in the film. So I’m pretty sure one of the props guys wrote ‘Harry Potter’ neatly on a piece of paper for me to put in.”

When he was asked if book to film changes in the ‘Harry Potter’ series bothered him

“Ehm – not particularly.
I think we had very quickly become aware that stuff was not going to be in all the films that we couldn’t fit everything in, I think I remember the thing early on that me, Emma and Rupert were all slightly surprised by, that we had all ABSOLUTELY LOVED the chapter in the Chamber of Secrets book about the – I think was it Nearly Headless Nick’s Birthday Party? But I think it was some sort of a ghost birthday party that was not in the films, and I remember at the time we were all quite surprised by that. I know some people would have been quite happy to see a 4 hour long Harry Potter movie with every detail in there, but some people also would not have…”

When he was asked about his interest in appearing on ‘Game of Thrones’

“I haven’t been approached! And I don’t know – haha- I don’t know what I would do. My lack of Game of Thrones knowledge was revealed in an interview a while ago. I totally would side with the Starks, though, because their symbol is a wolf.”
