Dan Radcliffe talks birthday, Comic Con, crying on set in new interview

The lead actor of the Harry Potter film series spoke with The Los Angeles Times today via phone and commented on the rumors about his presence at this past week's Comic Com:

"I apologize to all the wishful thinkers for my disappointing non-presence," Radcliffe said Monday by phone from London.

The actor, who has finished some post-production voice work on the last "Potter" film, says he is still grappling a bit with the concept that he will never wear the robes of Hogwarts on screen again. He still cares deeply about "Potter" fans, though -- he sounded genuinely distressed to hear for the first time about the wildfire rumors that led fans to believe he would be at the San Diego pop-culture expo that wrapped up on Sunday.

"Really? Oh, God, I had no idea. I suppose it's like when I'm at Reading Festival and I hear that suddenly some amazing band is going to play a surprise gig and then it turns out to be total fiction."

Dan also discussed how his 21st birthday went. He revealed that he had spent the time with two friends in St. Petersburg. Read the full article at this link!
