Daniel Radcliffe Admits He Was ‘Genuinely Scared’ Of One Of His Harry Potter Co-Stars

Us too, Daniel.

We’ll be honest here, we’ve been terrified of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named from the first mention in the Harry Potter books, so it's no big surprise that Ralph Fiennes’ portrayal of the character left Daniel Radcliffe a little scared.

Us too, Daniel. Us too.

Warner Bros.

Speaking during an appearance in the latest episode of The Jess Cagle Interview, Daniel explained that the Harry Potter villains were well-cast, with Ralph being ‘genuinely intimidating’.

Daniel recalled: “I remember when I was 15 doing scenes with Ralph for the first time. He was even scarier than Alan [Rickman, Professor Snape] was at first.

“Alan was super intimidating to start off with as well, but then you get into it, but Ralph genuinely scared me for a few years.”

Daniel previously told the Radio Times that he wouldn’t completely rule out playing Harry again in the future, explaining: “It would depend on the script. The circumstances would have to be pretty extraordinary. 

Warner Bros.

“But then I am sure Harrison Ford said that with Han Solo and look what happened there! So I am saying, ‘No,’ for now but leaving room to backtrack in the future.”
