It’s great to see that fame has not gone to his head.

Tom (Felton).

Daniel: Oh, Tom, OK. OK, cool!

OK, Ill take that from Tom.

I know thats meant in a nice way if Tom said it.

Which also, to the effect, Tom has, and a lot of us have as well.

We love our jobs and we dont take anything for granted.

Theres nowhere I would rather be.

Theres certainly nothing I would have swapped it for.

You have to find out who you are aside from what the media say you are.

If youve become reliant on them for kind of a sense of self, then youre really screwed.

Was it ever a possibility, though, of saying, God, I am Harry Potter!

I am adored by millions of people!

I mean youre a kid and it must be so exhilarating.

The rest of the year were working, were on set.

I did see a sign last night saying, Harry, Im pregnant, which scared me slightly.

Are you coming out and saying you are not the father?

Movie

Daniel: Im…Well, Im confident.

But, you know, I only saw the sign.

I didnt see who it was.

Anybody who would have been cast in this iconic role would have been getting that sort of attention.

So you have to realize that its not because its you, its because its an iconic role.

And we had a really interesting conversation.

So I was asking how is Rob doing and all that.

And, you know, people were in love with that character.

I think its the same with Harry.

It doesnt really matter, in a way, who it is.

If you are filling those shoes, then you are going to get a pretty wild reception.

I mean you were 11 when you started this.

When did you have this understanding that, Its not really me, its Harry Potter.

I think Ive always had that sort of realized that.

And theres nothing special about me as opposed to hundreds of thousands of other people everywhere.

Daniel: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean absolutely, to a point.

I remember I got lost at one point in Central Park.

Not somebody being stretchered on; they were parked up.

And this guy just said, Oh, youre doing Equus here, arent you?

And I said, Yeah!

Thats really cool that you know that.

Like, you know, I dont know.

So I think everywhere else in the world you get reactions.

But New York people are pretty kind of chilled about the whole thing.

Have you ever had those moments when you kind of wanted to shy away from it a bit?

Is this weird for the other person Im here with, or is this weird for my family?

And most of the time…It was interesting.

You started as an actor so young.

And it seems like you really want to still be an actor.

Daniel: Yeah, it was on the third film, probably.

Those moments were…it was definitely around that time, working with Gary.

I thought, I want to work with more people like you.

I dont want to walk away from this.

I dont want this suddenly to end and suddenly for me not to be in this industry.

Theres an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because its where Ive grown up.

Theres very few…I know where I am on a film set.

I know what to do.

I know what everybodys doing.

There is nothing that will happen on a film set that I wont have experienced in some form before.

So there are very few situations that arise that I do not know how to react to.

Daniel: Not at all.

My toilet is bigger!

So it really doesnt scare me at all to go on stuff like that.

In fact, I cant wait to do stuff like that.

I mean its decent for a British indie movie.

But its not…you know, there are sequences in Potter that cost more than the entire film.

I say that without any hint of irony.

[laughs] So no, its not something that scares me particularly.

Im quite looking forward to it.

Youve done an awful lot of press on this.

Youve done set visit press.

Youve talked to everybody for so much.

Daniel: I think weve pretty much covered it all!

But Im being totally serious about this.

People have asked about every intimate detail.

Very few people ask about, Wow, isnt this an amazing opportunity for a young actor?

That doesnt happen unless youve got something behind you which is kind of quite a big deal.

I suppose people very rarely ask me about that.

Question: Are you going back to the stage soon?

Daniel: Yes, next year.

Are you in rehearsals for…

Daniel: No, not yet.

No, were filming Woman in Black at the moment.

But I start rehearsals in January.

Ive been doing singing lesson for upwards of three years.

Question: Yeah, thats a big singing part.

I think Ive got nine songs in the whole show?

And I think only two of them are me on my own.

So its sort of not too intimidating.

But yeah, its the dancing more than singing thats totally out of the comfort zone.

Ive been doing lessons now for like two years.

So Im putting the hours in.

So if I screw up, it wont be through lack of trying.

Want to give us a preview of I Believe in You?

Im going to make you pay for that!

This is all hypothetical.

Daniel: Yeah, of course.

One thing I did take I did ask for.

I would have stolen it had they not given it to me.

But I did ask for it and they complied, was the glasses.

Ive got two sets of the glasses.

One from the first movie, which are tiny now, and one from the last movie.

Yeah, those would be my souvenirs.

So how do you keep up that level of patience and attentiveness?

And when youre filming a film for nine months, you cant afford to let morale really slip.

So I think you have to sort of be a bit of a cheerleader as well as lead actor.

Youve lived basically over here filming on location quite a bit.

Daniel: I dont think I would like to move out permanently.

You know, I will go wherever the scripts take me, basically.

But in America, Ive certainly heard stories about theres more of a divider.

I think I would find that very hard.

The idea the actors are the most important people on a film set I think is very stupid.

Actors are the most replaceable people there.

There are literally millions of us.

Theres very few people that can operate a steady-cam.

The numbers are a lot, lot fewer for that, you know?

What do you think fans are going to take away the differences between part one and part two?

Theres so much action in it.

I was thinking, Jesus, youve…no!

This is like the sedate younger brother to the last part.

In the last part you will be flung headfirst 200 miles an hour into a firestorm.

I mean its…the level of action is insanity.

And the heist part being when we break into Gringotts and all of that stuff.

And I think people are going to be left slightly breathless by it.

Could you sort of talk about, though, filming that and what it meant to you?

Daniel: Probably pointless, because were reshooting it!

Daniel: Well be reshooting parts of it, I think.

So it might be slightly pointless to talk about it, I dont know.

Daniel: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was asking about the real actual shooting.

So youre doing some reshoots?

Because its a train station; people actually need to use that platform.

So we made it very hard on ourselves.

So I think were going to revisit it and have a slightly slower, more measured pace next time.

Will the same actors come back then?

Daniel: I think so, yes.

As far as I know, absolutely.

One last question about the horror film?

Daniel: Pardon me?

The hammer film…

Daniel: Oh, It was the best script Ive read.
