Ok - I've gone on far too much, I know, but I just think  he has the 
makings of a fine actor.




I read where he almost passed out because of hyperventilating during  one 
very intense scene, and in one video interview (sorry, can't recall which)  he 
said he almost passed out and he did fall off a table (from almost passing  
out), but someone caught him -- Dan was telling these stories, they weren't  
quotes from somebody else.  Then in another taped interview, he said it was  the 
scene with him and Sirius under attack from the Dementors when he passed  out.  
He was on a beach there, not a table, so I don't know if he did the  "almost 
fainting" thing more than once or if the quotes have been garbled (and  by Dan 
himself!). The only "table" I recall seeing him on was in the "making of"  
show where he and Emma were standing on a table-like thing while under attack  
from the Whomping Willow.  The "table" was loosely covered with  grass.  The 
Willow "knocked" them back (they were on wires, which you could  see in this TV 
special) and they fell on the mats behind the table.  So  maybe that's the 
"table" he was on?  If not that, then where??
 
In the "cool beaners" category - in a clip that was on DanRadcliffe.com  
(Comedy Central clip, maybe? Or Cartoon Network?  They have a series of  very 
short clips that are fun to watch), Dan was asked about Harry's scars and  if he, 
Dan, had any.  He said he didn't think he did, but Harry gets really  cool 
ones in Goblet of Fire.  They'd just done the dragon scene, and the  Horntail got 
him in four places around his shoulder, chest and back.  He  said it was 
really cool.  ;->  I can't wait to see GoF!   ;-D

Endlessly curious about the method of acting and the interesting  
behind-the-scenes stories (and a huge Dan-fan, can you tell?   heehee),
