You've mentioned before that Michael Gambon did a good job of trying to make you laugh. Was there a moment or a scene where he tried to crack you up? Also, when Michael found out that Dumbledore was gay, did he camp up his antics?
RADCLIFFE: He did camp up, yeah. Michael, playing Dumbledore, has a beard, and he has a beard protector over his head to stop him from getting food in it. Which he does anyway. They made him a new one, which was pink, and he wore it with pride around the set.
This film had a mixture of both adventure and some more intimate moments. Which are your favorite scenes to play? Do you like the action or the quieter scenes?
RADCLIFFE: I think that I like the quieter scenes. There's a lot of action but the quieter scenes will, generally speaking, be where the heart is. That's not to say there aren't some emotionally quite intense action sequences, but when there are just two people sitting down talking the stakes are very much higher, emotionally. My favorite scene in the film, actually, is one that I'm that not in, which is probably not that surprising because I hate watching myself. It's with Rupert (Ron) in Quidditch practice, and it is genuine laugh-out-loud funny. And I don't laugh out loud that easily.
In the future, when you look back at the making of the six films, what do you think might stick in your mind about the process?
RADCLIFFE: Michael Gambon, when we were doing all these sequences together, would come up with abbreviations for the shots. None of which I can actually repeat because they're all quite offensive, but they're very, very funny. Some of them have actually stuck on the Potter set.
One of the sequences, on this last film, was with Tom Felton as Malfoy in the bathroom. Me and Tom have always liked each other but we actually started getting on really, really well in the last film, so that will be one of the binding memories.
