Daniel Radcliffe & Tom Felton talk Deathly Hallows on Test Match Special (UPDATE #2)
Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton were today interviewed on Test Match Special on BBC Radio 5 live. They spoke about cricket, the match (England vs. Australia) and answered questions emailed in by fans, which prompted discussion about Deathly Hallows.
Dan confirms they have just done a week of night shoots and that Tom is in the film 'quite a lot'. Dan says he learns his lines the weekend before a shoot and goes over them on the morning of filming.
Dan goes on to compare cricket to Quidditch, saying they're both 'needlessly complex'.
They are also asked, should they get stuck on a desert island, what would they rather have; a cricket bat or a Firebolt.
Additionally they talked about how their close friendship developed, thanks to Tom's girlfriend, Jade, who Dan's particularly close to. They candidly talked about how they go from hating each other on screen to chatting about cricket and how Tom's now bleach-blonde hair attracts fans at matches. Dan waxes lyrical about cricket and compares test matches to a five act play & the parrallels between the achievements in filming and on stage and on a cricket pitch and also describes their and Jade's reaction to the balcony seats they're in. They admit to 'dragging' Jade along to 6 matches, consequently getting her into the sport. They also talk about the charity cricket match they played in last weekend.
UPDATE: Rotae has provided us with a partial transcript.
SPOILER!!: Dan & Tom interview
Aggers: Lots of people saying, Tom, I know you don't like your hair very much, but apparently, you look very much like Stuart Broad. Dan: *loses it in hysterics* HA HA!! Tom: Oh, don't! Dan: That's what your girlfriend calls you! Tom: I know! The weird thing about this, is that I went to a party, I don't know where it was, 'cause it was a few months ago, in which I met Stuart Broad. Dan: Did you? Tom: Yeah! And all their team came up to me and said, "PLEASE take a photo with Stuart, because we take the mickey out of him and call him Malfoy!" Dan: *laughs* Tom: So it's not just on my half... Aggers: Is that his nickname? Tom: Apparently so! Apparently... Dan: Even if it's not, we should start it. Tom: Let's start it, yeah. Dan: "And now Malfoy's coming in to bowl" Tom: "Malfoy's coming in to bowl"... I'd be honoured!
Tom: [Jade] knows the players, she know Broad very well, and she knows everyone else... so it's great! Nice to bring someone else along. Dan: She knows Broad very well just cause, you look like him. Tom [slightly exasperatedly]: Yes, thank you, Daniel.
[Indistinguishable] Tom: Only he's like, three foot-taller. When we had a photo together, I looked... physically abnormal next to him. Dan: Yeah. Tom: He is huge. Dan: Well, you've got a good three inches on me, Tom. Tom: Well, let's not go there...
Dan: Listen, I really do see parallels between cricket and acting. Tom: You mention this all the time on set... Dan: I know, I know... Tom: ALL THE TIME! Dan: I know, I'm dull.
And from the BBC Sports live commentary: 1343 - Aus 177-2 (51 overs)
Draco Malfoy to bowl from the Vauxhall End... sorry, it's Stuart Broad again, and Ricky Ponting lifts him over the helmeted Ian Bell at Reasonably Short Extra Cover for four.
The interview, which she recorded for us, can be downloaded here.
Numerous photos of Dan and Tom can be seen here and in our galleries (the third picture was posted by Tom on his Twitter page):
I was watching the Oval test match of today's and positively screamed deafening my family when I saw Tom and Dan on-screen!
Haha, I am totally watching the entire match just for a glimpse here and there =P
Hehe I just saw them on the tv at the match.
Must say they look very scruffy relaxed with their pints.
Lets hope England can win and put them in a good mood for when they go back to filming!

Also more from the BBC Sports Commentary:
1352 - Aus 184-2 (53 overs)
We've got a new vote for you on the BBC Sport website - who is England's man of the series? Ponting jabs Malfoy for a single, Hussey finds the gap as well and scampers back for a well-run two.
1610 - Aus 270-5 (81 overs)
They're going to persevere with the old all for a while... with Stuart "Malfoy" Broad taking over. Hussey pushes a couple of twos to take his score to 82.
