Film Premieres July 11
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe had a few words to say about his appearance in the adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" during an on-set interview with MTV.com.
Radcliffe said, "[Harry is] becoming aware that there are bad people in the wizarding world who aren't Voldemort, that there are people that bad in a much less obvious, much more insidious way... It's not a proper trial, but Dumbledore turns up to defend Harry, which is lucky because otherwise it'd be a very short film. 'Harry goes in to the trial, and then goes to Azkaban. Cut to credits.'"
He continued: "It's quite a dark film. I mean, we say that every time, but this one genuinely is much darker than the other ones. This film is about Harry being aware that there is a war about to happen, and so he's going to try to prepare as many people as he can for this battle."
The movie is set to premiere on July 11.
