Daniel Radcliffe: 'No royal wedding fever'

Daniel Radcliffe has said that he wishes Prince William and Kate Middleton all the best, but admits that he hasn't been caught up in royal wedding fever yet.

The Harry Potter star was asked for his thoughts on the impending nuptials on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

"You know, it seems to be a much bigger deal over here than it is at home, from what I'm gathering," he said.

"From the friends I have spoken to, the thing they are most excited about is it means we get a four-day weekend at home! That's the kind of thing that's driving most people."

He added: "I wish them all the happiness in the world but I'm not going as feverish as everyone else seems to [be]."

As for whether he has ever met a member of the royal family, he said: "I've met Fergie. Does that count? I'm not being callous! It's genuinely ignorance. She's still a duchess, right? Yes? So I have [met royalty]."

The royal wedding is scheduled to take place at Westminster Abbey in London on Friday.

Radcliffe was on the NBC show to promote his Broadway production How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, which is currently playing at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. He can also be seen in the final instalment in the Harry Potter franchise, Deathly Hallows Part 2, which opens at cinemas on July 15.

Topless kiss with Daniel was awkward

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and his co-star Emma Watson have different opinions about their recent on-screen kiss.

While Radcliffe said it was 'vigorous and enjoyable', Watson found the experience 'awkward'.

The actress has admitted it was made tricky after producers told her at the last minute the snog was to be topless.

"I forgot how full-on it was until I saw the movie, and I was like, ''Blimey, where did that come from?'' It was really full-on," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"It was only the day before that they said, ''Oh, by the way, we hope it's all right, but we want you to be topless, and we're going to cover you in silver paint''.

Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potter, Always Forever?

Daniel Radcliffe had confessed that he might forever be recognized as the character of the wizard boy in Harry Potter movies. When we talked to him during the parade, Radcliffe admitted that it might be difficult for his avid fans to allow him to accept new roles while the Harry Potter series is coming to an end.

“I think to a certain extent it’s true that Harry will stick to me,” Radcliffe said. “I think in a lot of people’s minds I will always be him. It’s rather like the mafia, I guess. Once you’re in, you never get out.” The actor continued: “I don’t think I’m being typecast so far. But I would never be anything but proud to be associated with this film series forever.”

Radcliffe also explained that working with the same crew over a 10-year period helped him to discover his “passion” for acting. He said that he had learned several things while working with the people on set. For example are the immense passion about the film industry and a work ethic that he might not have had otherwise.

However, Radcliffe had also revealed that J.K. Rowling talked to him to say that she would not be composing Harry Potter books to any further extent. Latest comments from the author have headed to assumptions that there might be upcoming books about the boy wizard.

Deathly Hallows' will shake people up: Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe has said that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will "shake some people up".

The 21-year-old actor, who recently finished filming the final two movies of the wizard film franchise, admits he believes scenes where his titular character finds himself close to death after being beaten up by his arch-nemesis Voldemort will be difficult for some fans to watch, reports contactmusic.com.

"Voldemort does absolutely kick six bells out of me, and that's what makes it effective, the fact that Harry's a kid (and) having beaten out of him. If it's Voldemort killing an adult - well, he does that loads in the films," said Radcliffe.

"To see him brutalising and desperately trying to kill a 17-year-old boy is hopefully going to shake some people up," he added.
