Radcliffe reveals daunting Potter scene

Radcliffe reveals "daunting" Potter scene

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that he found filming seven versions of the boy wizard "daunting".

The scenes in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part One see six of Potter's friends use Polyjuice Potion to look like him, attempting to help them travel undetected by Death Eaters.

"It was a highly technical visual effects scene," told Mugglenet. "The one shot was 95 takes. Yes, you may well recoil."

In the scene, Radcliffe takes on the roles of the other six characters - including Rupert Grint's Ron Weasley and Emma Watson's Hermione Granger.

He joked that he had enjoyed portraying Fleur Delacour in the scene.

"I was delighted by how well I fit into Fleur’s costume," he said, before adding: "I've got to stop saying I look good in girl's clothes.
