Daniel Radcliffe and J.K. Rowling talk about the Potter fan base
Daniel Radcliffe: It's interesting actually, if you start to think for a moment. Not about these characters being characters. But if you think about the characters. The lives these characters actually have within the books. And the fact that to a certain level, because they exist in the collective consciousness of a generation, they do exist. Because I always think that's one of the wonderful things about Potter and the Potter fan base. Is that, if you think about the other big costume wearing and all that kind of stuff that goes with it. It's things like Star Wars and Star Trek. But what's interesting is that Potter, because it started if as am literally thing, has kind of created a generation of the same kind of mentality of geeky followers, but with an appetite for reading and literature. Which is kind of amazing.
J.K. Rowling: It was wonderful. Listen, it was just the most wonderful thing.
