Daniel Radcliffe Reacts to Harry Potter Memes

-I was wondering if you ever see... If you go on the Internet or something, do you ever see a meme of yours like a Harry Potter meme and say, "That's really funny?" -Have. I think maybe a couple over the years. but nothing that I can remember immediately. -I thought... -I'm not looking for them. -I thought it would be fun if I showed you a couple just so you could see. -Yeah. Please. -They are funny. -Yes, I feel like I should... I should be educated. -Yeah. Here you go, yes. Tell me if you like them or not.

This guy here is... -This is Harry Pugger. I mean, it's... We're starting out, you know, slow. -I mean it's... What don't you like? Brilliant. -Brilliant? It's cute. -Solid pun, cute dog. -Yeah. -It's great. -If you have Quidditch problems, I'll feel bad for you, son. I have 99 problems, but a snitch is not one. That is a good one. -That's pretty good. -That's what... You know, the good thing about those things is that I never, when I was a kid, and you're just insecure at that age. I never felt good at any point playing that character. and this kind of thing says, "No, that was...

People thought he was great. Of course, he was great. Absolutely. Yeah. Very cool. This is one of my favorites. It says, "Ron, wait! Are those shoes on sale?" Ron, wait. -That was... That was what... -That was actually the dialogue. -...I, the actor, was thinking. Yes, absolutely. - Real Dialogue And this one here is... "Thinking about all those school loans, wondering if your wizardry degree will work out." -But do you know what it really is? -No, that's me? I'm like... That's me, like years ago, going out to lunch or something, realizing there was a paparazzi to my right and going, “Ugh.

What do I do?" Yeah, that's my deep thinking face. -The last one I want to show you is actually a video. And this was everywhere the other day. It's called "Hermione Dancing." I think this was on a Comic-Con or something. But look at this. I think it's funny -♪ Here we go ♪ ♪♪ -I mean, that's... -I mean... -That's not bad. ...that... We need to remake the movies as a musical -We need more of that -Yeah -Dude, I'm excited to see you back on Broadway The Lifespan of a Fact. -Yeah. -This is a new work. Why don't you tell us about this? -Yeah.

So, as you can see, it's me, Bobby Cannavale and Cherry Jones. play... Well, I play a fact checker who is sent to verify an article written by an author, played by Bobby. And this author is not used to being held to some kind of journalistic standard of integrity... of accuracy. of... I just come in and make their life hell for a few days and Cherry's character is our editor, who has to make the decision whether or not to publish the article in the end and, in a way, hold us back. of killing each other. But it's a comedy. -It's comedy. -I should say that too. -And the other thing I will say, because it makes me see any work, is that it is an act from beginning to end. -Oh, I love that. -Yeah. -Oh, I love that. -But.

I am... Yes. -But how are you going to do this and stay involved in football? Because Sunday is a big day for Broadway. -Yes, Bobby and I have been talking about this. Because he's in fantasy leagues too. And just... We have two shows on Sunday. -Yeah. -And, you know, that's when all the games are, so it will be... I have two exits in the play. If you come to see the play, forget I said this, but I'll be... Basically there's a little closet that I go into at one point in the play. I have like five minutes there.

I'll have my phone or something there. -Will you be checking scores? -Yes Yes Yes. I'll come out and say... -You'll be in the closet. You'll be like... "Awesome! Oh my god." - Yeah. It'll be like, "Thank you, Jordan Howard." There will be things like that happening. But no, it's... Yeah, it's really... I won't lie... Are you into it? Do you ever do a play and you get distracted or something and you forget a cue or a line or... -I'm pretty - I'm generally - The fear of making mistakes keeps me focused. But I've definitely had... There are moments...

When you're in a bigger show, with a bigger cast, and there's stuff happening on stage, you can fall asleep and look at the audience or watch... Well, because really You can't see past the third row. But every once in a while there will be people in front who will really catch your attention. -Actually? -Yeah. My favorite guy was a boy (not, obviously, in this play), but I did "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" last year in London. It's like... it's a long play. It's, you know, something... -Yes. -It's fun, but complex. And this guy came in the first act and sat down.

My scene partner, Josh, did most of the talking. So I got to see this guy come in, sit down with his backpack in the front row, put it down, rummage through it for a second, pull out a foot long wrapped in tin foil... ...proceed to unwrap half of it, see to the city. So in the first two scenes, just eating this huge thing. -He's eating a giant hot dog. -Eat a giant hot dog. And then, as soon as he finished, he put the things away and went to sleep... ...for the rest of the act. -It is worth the price of the ticket. -Yes, but that's the point.

He returned for the second act and seemed to have a great time. He got up, stood at the end and applauded. -Standing ovation? He says, "I'm going back. This is the best... -"Yes, I have food." -"Dinner." -Yes, it was... -I took a nap. -No, it was... But That's the thing. Normally, you might like... You might end up a little irritated with guys like that in the audience, but actually, that time, we were like, "I love this guy." -You don't care at all that you're in a play. -No, not in all of them. Um, you don't have time to bring dinner and a nap.

Congratulations on this. I'll go see them on this one. "The useful life of a fact." Daniel Radcliffe, everyone.
