The Caroline Rhea Show

Caroline: Our first guest is the cornerstone of the biggest franchise in movie history and he�s not even old enough to get a driver�s license. His latest film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is just about the most fun a Muggle can have. Take a look. Please welcome my favorite seeker, Daniel Radcliffe! They�re very excited, as am I. I feel like I�m meeting Harry Potter. I do. Do you feel like you�re Harry Potter at this point?
Dan: I think it�s probably like something that will result in serious therapy in years to come.
Caroline: You�re telling the therapist, �But I am Harry Potter!�� Even if you need glasses, you�ll probably only get contact lenses, right?� And now, I�m not a Muggle. I�m not one of those ordinary common Muggles. I myself played a witch for several years. I don�t know why I brag about that like it�s a good thing. But since you�re a wizard, do you feel like you can do magic now? Do I seem insane for having asked that? A little?
Dan: No, no, I�m completely mad but I don�t feel I can do�can you do magic?
Caroline: Can I do magic?
Dan: Yeah.
Caroline: I made you appear! And I�m quite pleased with that!�.. How do you feel about flying? If you really had flown, it�s kind of annoying isn�t it?
Dan: It�s really just really cool playing Quidditch and everything. It�s just amazing. Sorry, I�m a bit nervous.
Caroline: Oh please don�t be nervous. I�m a wreck. Here�s the thing, on Sabrina, this is how we flew and it was so embarrassing. We�re on vacuum cleaners and they had to weight you up until you could get them to fly and everyone would be soaring and everyone�d be like �We need another twenty pounds on Caroline�s vacuum!� It didn�t even make you want to fly�. So you�re an excellent Quidditch player!
Dan: Thank you
Caroline: You�re the best!
Dan: I am. I�m the best.
Caroline: You are the best. Now for those people who don�t understand what Quidditch is, the one person in America who hasn�t seen the movie yet, how would you explain it.
Dan: It�s basically like, kind of, basketball on brooms.
Caroline: Basketball on brooms?
Dan: Yeah. There�s seven players on each team. There�s four balls in total.
Caroline: And that little tiny little gold one.
Dan: Yeah, when you catch the snitch, which is the gold one with the wings and stuff, that�s a hundred and fifty points and you win.
Caroline: I know. You won and it�s very exciting. What�s it like working with Maggie Smith? I mean, she�s such a legend!
Dan: It�s amazing, And she�s so nice. She�s got such a cool sense of humor. She�s really cool!
Caroline: She�s so funny. I met her when I was eighteen�. Which was four years ago, Daniel. It was five, I�m lying�.. Now when you�re in America�do you like visiting here?
Dan: Yes
Caroline: You do?
Dan: Really cool.
Caroline: What do you like about it?
Dan: I just like the energy.
Caroline: Yeah, it does have a lot of energy.
Dan: Has a lot of energy. It�s really cool.
Caroline: What are some of your favorite American foods? Cause I�ve had British food.
Dan: What do you think?
Caroline: Not a lot of flavor. I gotta be honest.
Dan: No. I like hamburgers and stuff. Like hamburgers here are way better than in England.
Caroline: Yeah, cause we don�t have mad cow disease, that�s part of it. You�re not like afraid when you eat it. That�s the thing�.Now is it just assumed since�Now what�s it like in England? Is it crazy? I mean it�s crazy here. People know you. But in England is it just, like you�re one of the Beatles, basically.
Dan: Well, cool! But I don�t, I mean� I don�t know if I�m that wow. I think it�s kind of crazy but it�s amazing because when people come up to me on the street they�re always like really enthusiastic about the film so it�s really fun to hear what they have to say.
Caroline: It�s so fun. My trainer, you know like weights and what have you, he was so excited when your movie came out. He�s thirty, okay. I just want to tell you. So, you have fans of all ages�. Now if you weren�t gonna be a professional actor when you�re older, cause you already are one now, what do you think you might be?
Dan: Maybe a writer. I like writing.
Caroline: Oh, you do?
Dan: Yeah. And Chris Columbus has really given me a love of film so I like directing as well� I might like to direct when I�m older. Caroline: You probably will too��What day were you born?
Dan: 23rd of July.
Caroline: Oh, so you�re a little Leo.
Dan: I�m on the cusp of Cancer and Leo so I can be a crab with lion�s head. Caroline: I�m just curious. I have a friend in the audience and she�s a big fan of all the books and the movie. So Emmy, come here honey, I want you to meet Daniel. Here you go. Daniel� Emmy.

Emmy: You know, today, I�m skipping school just to see you. So how do you get your school done.
