NPR, did a Q and A with Dan on Horns, Harry Potter and Chia Pets. Below is a snippet of the conversation, but be sure to click on the source link that features audio of the whole conversation.

RADCLIFFE: That’s not something that I’ve like longed to do for ages. But it’s nice to play a part that is so different. And I get like – he’s kind of a bad ass in himself.

SAGAL: You do in fact grow horns…

RADCLIFFE: Yes.

SAGAL: …Which is a look.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: I’m sure a lot of the people out there who always thought Harry Potter was satanic are going, a-ha, I told you.

RADCLIFFE: Yeah I know. But I sort of enjoy annoying those people. I mean…

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: I – there are so many things to ask you about as the star of the most profitable and probably most widely seen film series of all time. But let’s just start with the action figures and toys. If I were to go to your house, would I see any “Harry Potter” memorabilia? Any little Daniel Radcliffes and friends?

RADCLIFFE: No. You’d see – what have I got? You know, what you’re more likely to find is like sort of homemade “Harry Potter” dolls that I get sort of given – not by me. I hated dolls.

This week’s featured artist of the week is from one of our Twitter followers, Proulxes. Many thanks to her for her creativeness on drawing Dan from an IPad and Ink.

In our exclusive interview with Tom, he tells us about the upcoming fan documentary he is directing for BBC Three, the crazy diet he went on for Against the Sun, and how he reacted to being sorted into Gryffindor on the Pottermore website.

Just Jared: Could you tell us a about the super fan documentary you’re working on?

Tom Felton: It’s an hour-long one-off that we’re doing with BBC and KR Films. It’s just kind of a chance for me to have a more in depth look at the world of super fans and these people that have followed franchises–kind of at the root of why Harry Potter was so successful. It had such an active fan base. It’s allowed people to be passionate about stuff that maybe they couldn’t be so open with in previous years. It’s kind of a look into that, it’s a road trip journey with me narrating.

JJ: What was your most memorable interview that you conducted?

TF: We’re still editing, but there’s a costume element. This idea that getting into costume (Terminator, comic book characters) and thousands of people that come into convention centers are freed. So I had my little experience with that, which was a bit awkward but fun. We had a guy in Pittsburgh, who’s like the world’s biggest Harry Potter fan, he was head to toe in Potter paraphernalia as I answered the door, which was a bit of an experience.

JJ: Did any of your Harry Potter co-stars take part in your special?

TF: Yeah, I interviewed Rupert [Grint], Daniel [Radcliffe], and J.K. Rowling, which is a huge honor to have those three talk so openly as they have done.

Tom Fletcher as well, many of you know as the lead singer of McFly or McBusted. He’s a huge Harry Potter fan. The documentary isn’t really supposed to be about Harry Potter, but it just so happens the people I’m talking to are related to that.

JJ: Do you know when and where fans will be able to watch it?

TF: It will be on BBC 3, I’m hoping for sometime in April, May. But again, don’t quote me because we’re still cutting it up. And then after that, hopefully later on in the year, it’ll be put up on online. I’m really excited to see what people’s opinion is of it. It was a massive insight for me, going behind the ropes and seeing what people actually do to stand behind a railing at an event. You don’t really think about the three hours it took them to stand there and get the best spot. And there’s a whole bunch of stuff that goes with that.
