FRom worstpreviews, A user by the name of Reddiej posted parts of an interview with Daniel Radcliffe, which include the "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" release date change, his condition, and other "Harry Potter" insights.
* Dan said that of the "Half-Blood Prince" move from November 2008 to July 2009, he was told about it 24 hours before the rest of the world, and begs everyone not to blame him for the move.
* About "Half-Blood Prince" Dan says that the parts with Dumbledore and Voldemort are the darkest, while the scenes with Ron are the funniest yet.
* Dan talked about a particular incident on the "Half-Blood Prince" set, where Rupert had his first kiss with Jessie, and Dan was in the background of the scene laughing and trying to get Rupert to break out from character and laugh as well.
* "Deathly Hallows" will go as planned, despite the "Half-Blood Prince" move, where it will start production February 2009 and will shoot for around 14 months.
* He said with "Deathly Hallows," he is looking forward to the walk through the forest (chapter 34), rather than the fighting sequences; and that in the script for the film Sirius is in it, so there is a chance he will have another scene with Gary Oldman.
* Dan addressed how Emma Watson was hesitant about signing up for the final films, and her reason for doing so was not because she did not want to, but because of her education and the need to evaluate what her options were, especially since the last Harry Potter films would require another three years of their lives. Emma chose not to rush into the decision, but her reason was not because she did not want to.
* When asked about the incident where Gary Oldman made Dan cry on the "Order of the Phoenix" set, he mentions that Gary shook him and shouted at him so fiercely that after he let go, Dan said he was nearly about to fall into a fetal position because of how distraught he had become. He said that Gary's a lovely director, and gave him advice as to how to react to someone dying, saying that he should throw his head back and scream, which he had done at the end of "Order of the Phoenix" when Sirius died in the Department of Mysteries.
* He said that initially his parents did not want him to be an actor, especially given their experience in the field; he said that he was five years old when he first told his mother he wanted to be an actor, to which she said no. However, as he got older, they became more supportive to his desire to act (to the point that his father gave up his job to escort and manage his son's career).
* He said that the first contract he received for the "Harry Potter" films stated that he would have to sign up for the first six films and that they were to be filmed in Los Angeles, to which his parents said no. However, after meeting with producer David Heyman and director Chris Columbus and talking it through, the final contract was narrowed down to the first two "Harry Potter" films (at first) and for them to be shot in or around London, which they eventually agreed to.
* He spoke about his dyspraxia, which he regrets mentioning because of the reaction it elicited. He said he doesn't affect him as much, and that having done gymnastics from the age of 11 has helped him better coordinate himself.
