Daniel Radcliffe Thinks He Was 'Not Very Good' in Harry Potter Movies
by Andy NeuenschwanderWe're sure there are a few Harry Potter haters out there in the world. But we never expected Harry himself to be one of them!
In a recent interview with Daily Mail, "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe revealed that there's one performance in the movie series that he thinks is just terrible: his own.
"It's hard to watch a film like "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," because I'm just not very good in it," he revealed. "I hate it."
To be fair, Radcliffe was basically thrown into one of the worlds' biggest starring roles as a kid with little to no acting training, so it's understandable that there would be growing pains. He acknowledges that fact, too: "The moments I'm not as proud of, mistakes other actors get to make in rehearsal rooms or at drama school, are all on film for everyone to see," he said.
"My acting is very one-note and I can see I got complacent and what I was trying to do just didn't come across," he continued. "My best film is the fifth one because I can see a progression."
We think Radcliffe shouldn't be so hard on himself. Even the likes of Ewan MacGregor and Natalie Portman can be terrible when acting in front of nothing but a green screen. And really, considering the series was betting on actors when they started under the age of 13, things really turned out pretty well.
At least he didn't say anything about Emma Watson's performances. Then the Internet would really start a riot.
