Quint and Daniel Radcliffe have a little chat about everything HARRY POTTER!!!

It's official, I hyped Deathly Hallows too much by Bean_	Jul 7th, 2007 04:53:30 PM
Now I can't wait for the 21st... it happens every year a Potter book comes out. I was in 5th grade when the first book came out. I read it and have been hooked for the last 10 years. I'm going to be a sophomore in college this year when I finish the series, and I hate to see it end.
Great interview by the way by Bean_	Jul 7th, 2007 05:00:52 PM
It's great that he's a fan of the books first... it must be great to read The Cave sequence and be able to say "That's going to be badass to film". By the way, embargoes are lame.
Pretty good joke by Lour Reed luvs Frank Zappa	Jul 7th, 2007 05:19:44 PM
Made me laugh out loud
Seen him in interviews.... by Gabba-UK	Jul 7th, 2007 05:49:41 PM
and he does seem to be such a nice guy and a little bit odd too.
To Joke or Not To Joke by Quint	Jul 7th, 2007 05:52:58 PM
I'm getting mixed signals on this one. There are vocal talkbackers who hate the dirty joke question, but most of the time the feedback I get on it is positive. So, do you want it or not? Let me know below. Yay or nay on the dirty joke. I can't promise I'll be swayed either way, but I'd definitely like to know what you guys want. Like I said above, the feedback is mixed, so I'd like to know one way or the other. Let me know.
Eh... by MaleSheep	Jul 7th, 2007 06:07:21 PM
The dirty joke thing is sort of lame.
It's good if the joke is good by lost.rules	Jul 7th, 2007 06:15:38 PM
i have a feeling most will be afraid to tell you a really dirty joke.
Keep the dirty joke by Maximus Prime	Jul 7th, 2007 06:33:10 PM
Nice too see that A list stars can be brought back down to our level with a nice bit of filth.... very good interview by the way... I really hope he is a success after Potter, he was brilliant in Extras and was in a stage play where he was erotically involved with a horse...the lad has tried his hand at bettering his acting and deserves a chance to lose the Potter tag after he finishes number 7..get him into another franchise like Harrison did with Indy...Myers did with Austin Powers....the lad seems genuinely nice and good natured and hopefully he will get a go at Hermione in the last film,,,go on JK give the fans what they want
dirty joke by posbasso	Jul 7th, 2007 06:33:41 PM
The jokes are cool--sometimes it's good to see that side of the people that we associate with characters. Keep up the great interviews, Quint.
He sounded embarassed! by LittleDudes	Jul 7th, 2007 06:35:35 PM
Kinda like "Oh yeah, you're a geek!", heh, cool interview though. Two more weeks! There's a cool dicussion on the final book here: http://tinyurl.com/gc79d I'm pretty convinced.

Dirty joke. by mefrog	Jul 7th, 2007 06:49:21 PM
I like it. I don't always think they're that great, but it's a neat little touch to the interviews.
Dirty Joke thing is pretty lame by Doctor_Sin	Jul 7th, 2007 06:56:49 PM
I mean, it's like the dorky new kid at school who's trying to make friends and seem "cool" but is trying too hard.
Daniel Radcliffe has chosen anal sex... Here's Why... by My Ass Smells	Jul 7th, 2007 06:59:17 PM
You know, these Harry Potter books are pretty gay.
I like the dirty joke thing by godoffireinhell	Jul 7th, 2007 07:06:50 PM
I mean it's not like I like all the jokes told or am interested in dirty jokes from all the people interviewed but there's been some real golden ones in the past so I see no reason to drop it. Also, this was a pretty good interview.
Re: Dirty Joke by m0reta	Jul 7th, 2007 07:07:19 PM
One vote for keeping the dirty joke. I like it and it sometimes adds a better laugh then the interview itself!
harry knowles ?=? harry potter by theonecalledshoe	Jul 7th, 2007 07:13:49 PM
I feel a cartoon being made for this website..via transformation.
Look, the dirty joke is quite lame, but I say keep it. by brokentusk	Jul 7th, 2007 07:14:25 PM
Always good to hear celebrities come down to our level, especially when their publicists will probably be going mad. Also, that last question sets you apart from other journalists, it's your trademark. Wouldn't exactly say I'd miss it though. Great interview.
I think the dirty joke makes you look kind of lame by Bass Ackwards	Jul 7th, 2007 07:21:21 PM
But as a reader I don't really care either way. And what's that bit about being unable to orchestrate a plane in tha background? I'm not one to usually ask for CGI but a plane in the background seems like a pretty simple trick by today's (and these movie's) standards.
Dirty joke... by EUROPA	Jul 7th, 2007 07:22:37 PM
Dirty Joke = lame. Plus..I'm not even sure I get this one...is the guy supposed to be jerking it while talking to the Doc???
I saw Quint ask Megatron for his favorite dirty joke... by W3bzpinn3r	Jul 7th, 2007 08:30:39 PM
Megatron said "Disgusting!" and flicked Quint away. It was great.
keep the dirty jokes coming by waggy	Jul 7th, 2007 08:34:42 PM
liked dan's so much, i may have to steal it. if anything, it's worth it just to make the publicists sweat. i'm just hoping you can score an interview with judi dench when the next bond movie rolls around.
keep the dirty joke by troutpencil	Jul 7th, 2007 09:39:57 PM
They're not lame, they're hilarious. I am still laughing at that gorilla raping a lion one.
Keep the dirty joke, it's a GREAT question by ScamsAndFlams	Jul 7th, 2007 10:10:34 PM
I like Radcliffe and I like his dirty joke. Good shit, Quint.
Hear, Hear! Lame but keep it. by Mr.NiceGuy	Jul 7th, 2007 10:18:23 PM

An homage to The Sopranos.
Good Interview by Rickmans Voice	Jul 7th, 2007 11:08:57 PM
Enjoyed the interview, Quint. Daniel seems like an interesting young actor, and he was very funny on Extras. OotP is my favorite Potter book so far, and I'm really looking forward to the movie (oh yeah...and book 7).
Dirty jokes by Latauro	Jul 7th, 2007 11:27:33 PM
Definitely keep doing 'em.
Good interview, mate, but nay on the joke. by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jul 7th, 2007 11:38:42 PM
I hate to hear bad jokes, or un-funny people telling them. Some work, some dont.
re: Dirty Joke, Quint by Talkbacker with no name	Jul 8th, 2007 12:06:35 AM
I think you can tell a lot about a person from what joke they chose. It's very Freudian, man. I say keep it!
re: joke by jedimindflayer	Jul 8th, 2007 12:59:45 AM
keep it; like talkbacker says, they can really illuminate a personality, and who knows- maybe a cool book out of all of them some time later...
river styx by oisin5199	Jul 8th, 2007 01:03:28 AM
gotta say, that scene reminds me of another scene from a famous fantasy series with dead people under the water. And I don't mean POTC3. And I've already forgotten who Horace Slugwort is. I love the books while I'm reading them, but I'll be damned if I can remember a single detail after I'm done. and that dirty joke thing is ok - reminds me of James Lipton's 'favorite curse word' question on Inside the Actor's Studio. It's always surprising when someone doesn't say fuck.
I am in love with Ginny Weasley by Turd Furgeson	Jul 8th, 2007 01:13:10 AM
There i said it outloud... My therapist said I should vocalize more... I'm exhausted now, going to go take my seroquel and welbutrin coctail, wash it down with some Patron' and take a nap... Great interview quint! Bruce, Matt and Martin would be proud...
Keep It by DarthDooku	Jul 8th, 2007 02:14:33 AM
I say keep the dirty joke, it's sort of like a trademark for your interviews, Quint.
Keep the Dirty Joke Quint by DirkD13"	Jul 8th, 2007 04:03:05 AM
It's unique to your interviews and although not all of the jokes are great I have been able to tell the good ones to my mates, who then think I'm incredibly funny and buy me beer. How do you stop a dog from humping your leg? Pick him up and suck him off!
Dirty Joke by schnipple	Jul 8th, 2007 06:37:25 AM
I like them. It puts them on the spot and its great when somebody actually surprises you with a good dirty joke. Its a nice signature too...
Keep the Joke question by V'Shael	Jul 8th, 2007 09:01:33 AM
Actors always have a "face" for interviews. They praise the director, the script, the fans. They say the cast are like a "family" and all that stuff. But this question cuts through the crap, and for a second you see them as real human beings. Bawdy. Who'll laugh at a dirty joke with their friends. And yeah, the joke they choose tells a lot about the person.
Keep the joke by BeeDub	Jul 8th, 2007 09:38:24 AM
I love how it catches them off-guard.
hp 7 by El Borak	Jul 8th, 2007 09:48:23 AM
hp 7 will start to melt all the kids faces like in "season of the witch". then the devil will crack out of j.k.r. and reign for a 1000 years.
I vote yes on the dirty joke. by raw_bean	Jul 8th, 2007 10:16:39 AM
It goes amiss as often as it goes well, but the occasional gems from the people you'd least expect make it more than worthwhile asking. Good interview, seems like a nice kid. And a good dirty joke too, although I just heard it myself the otehr day.
dirty joke...mmm... by speed	Jul 8th, 2007 10:44:46 AM
Why not just make it a joke, any joke. My favourite joke- old but good... It's Christmas and Darth Vader walks into a bar where Luke Skywalker is having a drink. Walks over to him and in says, "Luke, I know what you are getting for Christmas." Luke is shocked and can't believe it. In amazement he replies, "How do you know?" Vader says, "I have felt your presence"... HAHA! geddit? presence/presents...homophone action. better spoken than written.
dirty joke = keep by LegoKenobi	Jul 8th, 2007 11:00:05 AM
i like 'em. for all the reasons people have said above.
I gotta say... by vezner2007	Jul 8th, 2007 11:01:51 AM
I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter movies and books. I can't wait for movie 5 and book 7. This is a great Harry Potter month. :)
Dirty joke = don't care. by vezner2007	Jul 8th, 2007 11:04:02 AM
Really, I don't.
1 vote for keeping the dirty joke question by CarmillaVonDoom	Jul 8th, 2007 11:29:43 AM
I've been coming here since before you started posting Quint...I've always thought that it gave your interviews a nifty defining characteristic. And it is fun to see the subjects squirm (or not)...more fun than the actual joke usually...but occasionally a funny one slips through as well. If you DO keep doing it, just be consistent and ask EVERYONE, O.K.?
Someone should post a few of the best from the past by CarmillaVonDoom	Jul 8th, 2007 11:30:55 AM
(dirty jokes from Quint interviews that is) Just not me I am way too lazy.
Keep Dirty Joke, Get Rid of Name Dropping by ZupDog	Jul 8th, 2007 11:32:23 AM
"I called up my good friend Robert Rodriguez and he loves Harry Potter"... I think this is the first article by Quint where we didn't see some name dropping. Hopefully Harry will take notice.
Kipling, one of the great writers of the ages by pipergates	Jul 8th, 2007 12:14:15 PM
Hope they do his literary creations honour. Snappy interview, well done old chap. Must be fun for Radcliffe to basically have this whole megabuck series written for him himself.
sensitive people warning: contains dirty joke by pipergates	Jul 8th, 2007 12:19:40 PM
what would frank zappa have said?
I like the dirty jokes. by stones_throw	Jul 8th, 2007 01:01:48 PM
Some stars have a good one, like Mr Radcliffe here, otherwise it's amusing to see how nervous they are or how lame a joke they tell, like Emo-Superboy and his "fungi/fun guy" joke.
Somebody call James Lipton, his question's been stolen by ArtemisCF	Jul 8th, 2007 01:46:32 PM
Come up with your own quirky question dude
dirty joke for president by Evil Hobbit	Jul 8th, 2007 03:54:29 PM
keep it! great read as well but one thing I thought was a bit weird was this: There was actually a moment on the third film where Alfonso (Cuaron) thought it would be amazing if we had a plane going by in the background. But, of course, we can’t really orchestrate that... I mean, in a multi-multi-multi-million dollar film like Potter, heavy loathed with the biggest and most expensive special effects they couldn't orchestrate a plane coming by? Well a real would be maybe a bit to much trouble with the timing but I'm pretty sure the FX-guru's can manage to put a realistic looking plane up in the background ey :)
why has the marketing campaign by emeraldboy	Jul 8th, 2007 05:10:45 PM
been so low key? Its almost as if They have very little faith in the project or are they trying to keep ad costs down?
Dirty Joke rocks by Bob of the Shire	Jul 8th, 2007 05:13:36 PM
It's brilliant. It makes the interviewees seem like real people and not the PR drones we see plastered all over magazines and E!.
HARRY KNOWLES = Slughorn!!!! by ludmir88	Jul 8th, 2007 05:17:08 PM
He is fat enough, he is geek enough, he .... wait he is not english. Sorry. Mehhhhh.
Quint should keep the dirty jokes, here's why... by nomihs	Jul 8th, 2007 08:31:48 PM
Some of them are actually kinda funny. I agree that if the star is sickly and perverted enough, like the rest of us, to give us something of a dirty joke, I say KEEP 'EM COMIN. Yeah, the question seems borrowed from Mr. Lipton, but I ask you this Quint...Who asked it first, you or James? When did you start asking in your interviews?
That Kid Is Pretty Fucking Cool by The Ender Smites Foes	Jul 8th, 2007 09:08:59 PM
I like Radcliffe, sounds like a nice guy. He better watch 24 though, or I'll change my mind about him. Because Only pussies don't watch 24. And there are tons of pussies on this website.
dirty joke origin by Quint	Jul 8th, 2007 09:39:26 PM
First time I asked it was Elijah Wood... summer of 1998. Lipton asks for favorite curse words, "if heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates," etc. To my knowledge I didn't take the question from anywhere. I was young, 17 I think... Elijah was my same age. I heard a good joke and thought it'd be funny to trade them in the interview. That's how it started. Thanks for the voting. I'm sure we'll be seeing many more dirty jokes in the years to come.
keep the jokes by McClane_Corleone	Jul 8th, 2007 10:04:35 PM
KEEP THEM! If it's about a project I don't care about I just scroll down to find the joke and when it's not there I get upset. KEEP THEM!
Kill The Jokes by Saluki	Jul 8th, 2007 10:09:47 PM
It is just so damned awkward. Everything is going great and then... Yuck.

Where's your review?!!!! You said very soon, and it's been over a day!
Please, stop asking for the dirty joke. by Bronx Cheer	Jul 8th, 2007 10:57:32 PM
It turns an interview into a visit to the gutter.
Quint, just ask them their favorite joke... by Spykid the 13th	Jul 8th, 2007 11:26:04 PM
I love the idea of collecting jokes from different celebrities, but I think it would be more fun to just ask them a favorite joke, and tell them they have the freedom to say anything - those who want to tell a dirty joke can tell one. Those who want to tell a favorite clean joke can tell one. It will be a much better indicator of the personality of the celebrity what KIND of joke they tell as much as the content of the actual joke.
QUINT WORRIED VANESSA! YAY! by DOGSOUP	Jul 9th, 2007 01:10:05 AM
Dirty Joke question is a kickass signature.

It can be lame at times, but its kind of a signature for you now Quint. I'd miss it if you stopped.
The Dirty Jokes Are Fucking Awesome, Don't Be Pussies by The Ender Smites Foes	Jul 9th, 2007 02:02:03 PM
Dont listen to these catholic school cunts, the dirty joke thing needs to stay. Quit being fucking pussies you whiny little pancake titted queers.

print book and retire.
Reviews? by SUPERJIM	Jul 10th, 2007 01:29:09 PM
Where are the OOTP reviews? The BBC website has some already so surely AICN can? Theirs are full of tripe like "Order of the Phoenix is Orwellian. The palette is grainy and dank, the faces dour, the hero's alienation beginning to fester." Can AICN provide us with a decent one yet? Keep the dirty joke.
Geek this geek that by RedJester	Jul 12th, 2007 12:44:54 PM
I love how Quint feels like he has to keep reminding Radcliff that he is in fact, a geek. I mean every other effing word is geek this geek that, we get it Quint, you're a geek. So am I for that matter, but I don't feel the need to shove it down peoples throats. If anything saying that your a geek makes you less of a geek. It's like someone who's considered cool saying how damn cool they are every 15 seconds, it kinda drains all the cool right on out of em.
Radcliffe by yodalovesyou	Jul 17th, 2007 04:48:34 AM
Narcissistic Ponce!
Guess you made an impression on Dan, Quint... by rayrick	Jul 17th, 2007 08:23:52 AM
New article on mtv.com about cast member's theories for book 7: Radcliffe: "One of my theories is stolen from someone else. He thought Snape is going to turn out to be the tragic hero, and I thought that was a really good idea. I think J.K. Rowling would have possibly gone down that route — but possibly he is pure evil, and we'll all just find out."
