Short Daniel Radcliffe Interview - but interesting!

Radcliffe Suspects Potter Will Die

May 28, 9:37 AM EST

Harry Potter may never grow up. Daniel Radcliffe, who stars as the daring schoolboy wizard, said Friday that Harry may die in the last book of J.K. Rowling's magical series.

"I'm going to be really unpopular for saying this about Harry, but I've always had the suspicion — with everything that's going on — that he might die," Radcliffe, 14, told a news conference to promote the third film of Rowling's series, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."

Rowling has remained silent about the fate of Harry in the seventh and final book.

But with each new installment, Rowling reveals more connections between the character and his archenemy, the evil wizard Lord Voldemort.

"Harry and Voldemort have the same core in them, we get to see that in the fourth film," Radcliffe said. "The only way Voldemort could die is if Harry dies as well."

Voldemort was responsible for the deaths of Harry's parents and left the young wizard with the distinctive zigzag scar on his forehead.

The pair have similar powers — including their wands and their fluency in Parsel — and Voldemort has been unable to kill Harry.

Rowling has hinted in the past that Harry may not survive. Asked whether she would write books about the character when he reaches adulthood, she replied: "You have to wait and see whether he survives to be a grown-up."

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," now in production, may be the last time fans see Radcliffe in the role of Harry, which has brought him a fortune estimated at about $18 million. He has yet to commit to a fifth film.

"I'm not going to lie and say it will be absolutely easy to see someone else play the part because it will be extremely strange after four films," Radcliffe said. "But if it happens it will be something I will have to get used to. I'm not saying it will happen but it's a possibility."

"The Prisoner of Azkaban" premieres in Britain on Sunday and goes into general release the following day. The film will open in the United States on June 4.

Assuming there will be a fifth movie, it would be really strange to see someone else play Harry! It would be strange to see any of the characters played by someone else because we've watched them grow up and know them as the characters they play. However, I can understand that when you grow older or play one character for too long there's the need not to get type cast, get so far into something that you can never play anything else or the audience can't accept you in any other roles. Ideally it would be nice to see them all stay to the end but when it comes down to it, their lives come first and they've made a hell of alot of money already, who knows, they might not want to act (might want to do something different or study etc) or work anymore, period! 🙂

i know! well he said that he'd do as many as he can considering his and harrys bdays are very close and that he hasnt grown very much so he still retains the "harry" looks...i hope he doesnt!!! <: (

But one question:
he said, "The only way Voldemort could die is if Harry dies as well."

I only remember the prophecy saying Neither can live while the other survives 😕 So Harry doesnt have to die for Voldemort to die.... does he??

there is going 2 b a fifth movie...in 2007 (which sucks). i dont know, tassie. we still dont know what the power is...i dont believe it's love but i think love has a part in it.

thats true tassie...its says "the other can not live whilst the other survives" so one of them is technically going to die in the end. do you think harry's powers that were transferred from voldemort would leave as well? like his ability to speak parseltongue, gifts for defense against the dark arts, etc? that would suck!!! : / i hope that doesn happen!

i dont think so. it's in himself right now. it cant just get sucked back up.

well they are connected...somehow...ahh its late. 10:15 pm here i think im going to bed..cheers!

yes they are. and night!

don't u guys think JK would b upset 'cause all the information that daniel just gave 2 the press?? 😕

morning!!! ^_^. maybe shes a tad disappointed...but then again its only his opinions,...we dont really know if any of that is going to happen tho...i duno : /

i dont think so. jkr said that even her daughter doesnt know what's going 2 happen next. what he did is basically what we do hear-he voiced his opinion.

Hmm.....

😑

I think if Dan goes then they'll all go..................

I don;'t want them to go...but they are getting way to old.

They need to start filming movies back-to-back..........plus I am sure the actors are getting bored playing the same roles.

Both JKR and Professor Trelawney wrote the prophecy VERY carefully! 😛
(thats what JK says)
