Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson who play the cute threesome in the Harry Potter movies, the boy wizard and his two best friends, spoke about the future and the fifth movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
During an interview with British tabloid The Sun, the actors, who grew up together with their characters, now in their fifth year at Hogwarts, battling the Ministry of Magic who refuse to believe that the evil Lord Voldemort has been restored to life, revealed their plans for the future including studies, besides acting.
"I really want to go to a university so I didn’t sign the contract for the next two films immediately," Watson, who plays Hermione Granger, said.
"I had to figure out the logistics of combining them with my school timetable," she added. Watson was rumored earlier this year to have quit the movies because she wanted to lose her "Harry Potter Girl" image. (She eventually signed up for the last upcoming Potter films when promised she would have time off for studying)
But it’s not just her who wanted to move on. Radcliffe became the first to distance himself from the boy wizard’s image when he took on a role in Peter Shaffer’s play, Equus, which received encouraging reviews.
When asked at a press conference if recently going naked in Equus was more complicated than kissing co-star Katie Leung in the new movie, he said: "Being naked was possibly not as complicated - although belt buckles can give everyone a bit of trouble at times!
"It's probably a dull answer because it's the one everyone would expect. Kissing Katie was a very very comfortable experience, especially when compared to being naked on stage. And blinding horses."
Redheaded Rupert, isn’t far from his homework-phobic character Ron Weasley, hoping his future is well away from the lecture halls.
"I definitely want to continue acting and just see where it goes from there," he said.
The fifth installment of the Harry Potter saga will hit the theaters on July 12, a little earlier than the final Harry Potter book gets published on July 21st.
Daniel believes that The Order Of The Phoenix features the three young friends’ best performances to date. He says: "I think we’re a lot better. We have all grown and developed and I think it does add something to the film."
