Post Dan Radcliffe talks Deathly Hallows (spoilers!)

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly Dan Radcliffe talks about Deathly Hallows - how long it took him to read it, what surprised & shocked him the most, the flaws of characters, the closure the book gave, characters that survive and what he did when he finished.

SPOILER!!: What surprised or shocked you the most?

Dobby's death. He's always been a comic character, in some ways. And that's what makes it so powerful, I suppose. I'm sure Jo's had that planned for a very long time. That was one of the bits that made me surprised. One of my other theories had been that Snape would end up being a sort of tragic hero, and so I was pleased to see that one in fact come through. That [idea] was given to me by a guy interviewing me, a while ago. He said he thought that would be the case. And I thought, Oh, that's very good.


SPOILER!!: In a way, Harry...
actually does die, because he believes he's going to die. There's a profoundly, existentially lonely passage in the chapter when he prepares to let himself be killed.

In a way, the time between Harry learning he has to die and actually dying —

Or believing he's dying...
That time wasn't short enough to be painless. But it wasn't long enough for him to find complete acceptance within it either. He struggles to find acceptance. Ultimately, he finds a sort of acceptance. But he's not necessarily reconciled with the idea of it. He knows he has to do it, but he's still scared. I just can't wait to be able to film it. I think Jo has given me, once again, an amazing opportunity to step up. So hopefully I'll be able to.


The entire interview can be read here and here.

Ooo, I like what he says about the forest scene! I agree with his assessment about the emotional acceptance.

This was really good. I wanted to what he thought about Harry's fate. The character has been with him so long an is obviously a huge part of his life.

I felt the exact same way as he did about shocking things and so forth. And, when I finished, it took me a while to let it sink in and realize that it's over. No more adventures with Harry. It's actually a bit more difficult to say good-bye than I had ever imagined it would be...

I understand what he said about Dobby's death. I hadn't been expecting it at all. But it was obvious she'd been planning it for a long time the way she expressed Harry's feelings about his death.

Wow, that's an another theory that's different. Dobby's death was very painful to me...which is why I can understand this.

Nice interview. Dobby's death was sad. Great book, I "demolished" it so to speak too. Took me 15 hours, couldnt put it down.
