" Read Radcliffe ’s full account of his character below :
I think directors go one of two ways with me . Maybe less so now , but after Potter in particular , if 50 % of director only see me as one thing and only consider me as Harry , then the other 50 % were excited by the chance to be the hoi polloi who testify me as something else . I think these director were really excited about getting to show me as this sociopathic scoundrel . But he ’s also a very funny villain , to me . There ’s something so pathetic about all of his motivations . It ’s the thought that , plain , no one ’s the villain of their own floor , so he thinks he ’s really cool and nice , and he ’s kidnap Sandra ’s fictitious character , all the while thought process , " If you really retrieve about it , you ’ll find being kidnapped is fun !
