“He was even scarier than Alan Rickman.” One Harry Potter actor terrified Daniel Radcliffe for several years
Daniel Radcliffe has itted that one actor from Harry Potter terrified him even more than Alan Rickman, and this continued for several years.
For the first three years on the set of Daniel Radcliffe, who was wrongly convinced that the actor was not fond of him. The child star felt frightened because of Severus Snape actor’s menacing voice. These feelings certainly helped Radcliffe find his way into the role of Harry, who was terrified of the professor. Rickman, however, gradually began to show a warmer side to the young actor, becoming one of his biggest ers on set.
It turns out, however, that on the set of the films about the young wizard there was another actor who frightened Daniel Radcliffe even more than Rickman. It was Ralph Fiennes, who played the role of Lord Voldemort, Potter's greatest enemy. From their first scenes together, Radcliffe was afraid of Fiennes, who embodied the fearsome wizard so well.
Daniel Radcliffe talked about his feelings toward Ralph Fiennes in The Jess Cagle Interview.
I when I was 15 doing scenes with Ralph for the first time. He was even scarier than Alan was at first. Alan was super intimidating to start off with as well, but then you get into it, but Ralph genuinely scared me for a few years.
Fiennes was so good in his role that for the several years that he starred opposite Radcliffe in the Harry Potter series, he effectively made Radcliffe fearful during their scenes together. So the anxiety we saw in the young wizard on screen may have been Radcliffe's genuine reaction to how Fiennes performed as Voldemort in front of him.
