DANIEL RADCLIFFE KISSES AND CRIES IN FIFTH HARRY POTTER

A mature Daniel Radcliffe reaches new emotional heights in fifth Harry Potter film.

Daniel Radcliffe is all grown up for the fifth installment of the Harry Potter series, The Order of The Phoenix and director David Yates is giving the teenage heart throb full reign to show a range of emotions from crying to kissing.

Daniel says getting physical with Gary Oldman, who plays Sirius Black on a very emotional scene helped to open the flood gates.

“He said to me in his death scene. We’d been doing a few takes, we’d been going at it for about two hours we were probably doing the scene and then he said to me, ‘Dan do you mind if I do something a little bit more physical with you this time?’ And I sort of said, ‘yeah fine,’ thinking maybe he was gonna give me a hug or something like that. But actually he took me by the shoulders and shook me incredibly hard for about thirty seconds and shouted at me. And the bizarre phenomenon is you sort of regress very quickly into this childlike state and I just started to crying which was bizarre. And so he knew that he could do that and he did and I think it really worked.”

What also works is the much anticipated kissing scene between Harry and Cho Chang played by Katie Leung which took about 30 takes before they got it right.

“A lot of attention’s being given to that scene and rightly so. It’s a scene that’s been greatly anticipated for a few years now. The histerical thing was when we did this press junket for the fourth Harry Potter everybody was saying, ‘so you have your first kiss in this film.’ No I don’t actually, that’s the next one. And people were very disappointed so this year their hopes will not go unfulfilled.”

Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix opens Wednesday in theaters nationwide.
