Harry Potter discussion

So yeah, I hate it when obsessed HP fans say Daniel Radcliffe is Harry Potter. No, he isn't, he is just an actor, not the character in the books. He has a personal life, and can be in films other than HP. I just hate it too, when people say Tom Felton=Draco Malfoy. No, he isn't either, he was in Anna and the King before being in the HP films.

So yes, both famous actors in the movies can be in other films, just because they've portrayed the HP characters, it doesn't mean they are them in real life. Some fans can't even differentiate reality from the films.

I think that goes for any actors or actresses who portray really popular films. Fans will think they are the characters in the movies, and they won't think about their lives outside the films.

No, they really do mistake them as Harry and Draco.

Daniel and Harry are CLASS APART. And the same applies for Tom-Draco.

people think that?

I agree with you. Actually the HP actors have done so well in the films, sometimes it may be difficult for the fans to reconcile to the fact that they are only actors. But fans have to understand that the HP actors will act in different types of films as time goes on. For example Daniel has done brilliant work in The Woman in Black, which I've seen and loved; and I'm interested in his next thriller "Horns" as well.

I guess some fans just have a hard time accepting the fact that they will do other films than just Harry Potter. And yeah, some people actually call Dan and Tom, Harry and Draco, which I find to be really stupid. Obviously they have real names!

Just so annoying when obsessed fangirls gush over them two being Harry and Draco! I've seen Tom Felton in "Anna and the King", was such a beautifully moving movie (about an English teacher, being hired by the Thailands' King, and they've fallen in love in the process, and the King understanding that having one wife is enough, since he has an harem of wives and over 40 children and Tom was the teacher's son).

And Radcliffe's good in other movies as well! So please, check them out in movies other than the HP ones!

I get that they are just actors but thats what they are most known for.

People actually think that? I think most people just imagine them as the characters (I don't) but hopefully don't legit think they're the actual characters.

Yeah and the actors affect the audience's opinion about characters
Like many people love him because of his looks but he is a bully (in the film)

I think that happens because they are perfect in their characters. But yeah, you are right. They are talented.

Daniel is not Harry or is Tom Draco. They just are meant to act for the characters.

I think dani and tom love being their characters, so I don't see why not let others view them with that third eye
