He says of his Dursley role, "You can't go anywhere without being bothered by kids." He then adds, "Vernon is the most unsympathetic character, so the kids expect me to be horrible. And who am I to disoblige them? I mean, I love kids, but I couldn't eat a whole one."

For the current film, he says of the younger actors and future Potter films that they're going to get "darker and increasingly complex, massive acting demands are going to be made on them. Will they have the emotional technique to do it? It's going to be very interesting to find out."

He is currently on Broadway playing the role of Hector, a professor of English literature in Alan Bennett's play from London, "The History Boys."]]> http://harrypotterspage.com/news.php/2006/04/19/richard-griffiths-on-ootp-and-vernon-dursley-role123.html#comment2 Thu, 20 Apr 2006 18:56:08 -0400 http://harrypotterspage.com/news.php/2006/04/19/richard-griffiths-on-ootp-and-vernon-dursley-role123.html#comment1 Thu, 20 Apr 2006 14:34:26 -0400
