We interviewed world famous Daniel Radcliffe, who played the title role of the Harry Potter movies! He visited Japan for the first time to promote the second installment of the series. The 13-year-old looked a bit older than in the screen- he thoughtfully chose his words when he answered our questions, and we had an impression that he is a very faithful and cute boy! <Difficult Points @ Filming> (Talking about filming in front of green screen for computer graphics) First of all, it's really hot there. And at first, acting without your counterpart was hard for me, but I think I've got used to it because I've been doing it for almost 2 years now. I don't like to see myself on screen very much, and I don't actually know how I progressed, because I'm not good at judging. But telling Chris Colombus my ideas during the filming of the second one was maybe some proof that I'm feeling more comfortable in acting. By the way, they promised me to give me the Griffindor Sword- when will it come? <Things in Common with Harry> We're very similar, so you can think that Harry Potter is Daniel Radcliffe! (laugh) Friends are important for both of us, but we also like to have some time by ourselves, thinking. Our birthdays happen to be close, too. One thing that's different is Harry doesn't have parents but I do, we get on really well. I'm the only child. I remember my 12th birthday very well, because we went on a trip to Spain for 2 weeks together and it was so much fun. <Height and Favorite Food> I'm 157.5 cm (approx. 5' 2'') tall now. I love seafood. <Spare Time> I love films! My three best movies are '12 angry men', 'What's eating Gilbert Grape' and 'Donnie Darko'. I like sports and I often play basketball at school, I'm not a very good player though. I used to watch professional wrestling matches, but I'm unable to see them because I don't have time to. <Real School Life> I like English the best. I like creating characters and making stories using them. The subject I don't like might be Physics. I don't understand what is what at all! We usually wear uniforms at school, but there was one day that each student could wear their favorite clothes. I decided to wear all punk fashion, of course with punk hairstyle. It was fun! <Punk Music Lover> I like 1970's original punk rock, such as Sex Pistols and The Clash, though current music is also nice. I like The Rolling Stones, The Who and David Bowie as well. My father and two of my elderly friends have taught me fheir favorite taste of music. I know it's funny a boy like me likes that type of things, '12 Angry Men' as well, but I'm so much attracted by the atmosphere of that time. <Favorite Actors/ Actresses> Today I'm here thanks to Harry, but someday I'd like to play some part totally different. Actors who are my goals are Jake Gyllenhaal (who played the title role in 'Donnie Darko') and Ralph Fiennes. My favorite actress is Cameron Diaz. I hope to work with Jodie Foster or Julia Roberts someday. Yes, I'm very interested in professional acting carrier, when I finish 'Harry Potter' series! **Translated from Japanese by hirame ** These words are not actual words of Dan and the expressions may differ.
