Daniel Radcliffe Quotes About Harry Potter

The Actor Who Brought Harry Potter to Life

Amy Brantley
Harry Potter fans around the world simply adore Daniel Radcliffe. For fans who may have seen the movies before reading the books, Daniel Radcliffe truly is Harry Potter. When they read the series Dan is the one they see in their mind playing out the parts of Harry Potter. But, what does Daniel Radcliffe have to say about playing the part of Harry Potter? Here are just a few of the fun quotes Dan has made about his character Harry Potter.

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes about Harry Potter #1: "As you grow up, you realize from the age of 14 or so, you grow extra emotions somehow, and I think Harry is at the point where he's at the mercy of all these emotions."

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes about Harry Potter #2: "In a way, growing up like this with Harry makes it easier to act in each of the films, because I've been through all the stuff that he's going through, like the hormones, relatively recently. So it's quite fresh in my mind. And then I suppose it's been made easier by the fact I've been playing Harry Potter since I was 12. You get to know the character so well that it makes it easier to act in the long run."

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes about Harry Potter #3: "The whole series is about the loss of innocence. In the first one ['The Sorcerer's Stone'], everyone's very wide-eyed, almost naïve. Harry's thinking that because he's entering a magical world, it's got to be better than the world he's come from. But it's not - it's just got further extremes. It can have extreme joy, but there are also the depths that man can sink to."

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes about Harry Potter #4: "The fourth one was incredibly, much more so, much more physical than the first ones. It's I think simply the nature of the book that its got those 3 massive tasks in it."

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes about Harry Potter #5: "I think I'm a tiny bit like Harry 'cos I'd like to have an owl. Yeah, that's the tiny bit, actually."

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes about Harry Potter #6: "I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, 'Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?' and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life."

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes about Harry Potter #7: "Ultimately it comes down to whether we're still enjoying it. If we are then I think we would be sort of stupid not to do them. As long as I'm doing other stuff around the same time, I think it'll be fine. Also, I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, there were bits in there where I was going, 'God, I would love to do that because it's so good."

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes about Harry Potter #8: "People will always remember Harry, but I think if I work hard enough other characters will stick in their minds as well."

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes about Harry Potter #9: "We bonded just like our characters. We all really like each other. The train-compartment scenes were the most fun, because it was just me, Rupert and Emma, surrounded by sweets, just laughing and joking the whole time."

Daniel Radcliffe Quotes about Harry Potter #10: "It's good to be back filming. I just put on my glasses and then I became Harry again."
