Daniel Radcliffe can hardly watch Harry Potter 6 these days
For Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is one of the parts of the fantasy series that he likes least. The reason for this is his acting performancewhich he considers to be particularly bad here. As he told the Daily Mail in 2014, he found it torture to watch the film:
That’s why it’s so hard to watch a movie like Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Because I’m not good at it. I hate it. My acting is very monotonous and I can see that I became complacent and what I tried to do didn’t come across in the film.
However, Radcliffe sees his best acting performance in another part: “My best film is the fifth because I see progress there.”
Even among Potterheads the sixth part divides opinion. While some even consider it to be the best film in the fantasy series, others think it is the worst. Like our Moviepilot YouTube hosts Hardy Zaubitzer and Bea Osuji. Both placed the film at the bottom of the podium in their Harry Potter rankings.
