“Richard [Griffiths] was by my side during two of the most important moments of my career. In August 2000, before official production had even begun on Potter, we filmed a shot outside the Dursleys', which was my first ever shot as Harry. I was nervous and he made me feel at ease. Seven years later, we embarked on 'Equus' together. It was my first time doing a play but, terrified as I was, his encouragement, tutelage and humor made it a joy. In fact, any room he walked into was made twice as funny and twice as clever just by his presence.” FeelsYearsFirstsMadeTwoImportantPlayMomentsFactsTogetherJoySidesRoomsCareersShotsFirst TimeEncouragementSevenProductionsCleverNervousMade ItEaseOfficialsTerrifiedSeven YearsPottersAugustImportant MomentsTutelage Author:Daniel Radcliffe

On those occasions where I have admitted defeat, that this is not going to work, I haven't embarked on that project and made that movie.” MadeMomentsFilmDecisionHalfHavensExampleProjectsShotsTrainDefeatStuckOccasionsGoing To WorkRunaway Author:Steven Spielberg
