HOLLYWOOD, California — W hen asked about longtime "Harry Potter" costar Emma Watson, with whom he stars in the penultimate film of the blockbuster movie franchise, actor Daniel Radcliffe says: "She's great. She'll go far, professionally and educationally."
Radcliffe is referring to Watson's current studies at Ivy League Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. "In a way, we're a classic, too," he adds. "I mean the characters in the movies, of course. But also, in a way, ourselves. It's a case of 'A Tale of Two Cities.' "
Radcliffe, 21, was born in London, while Watson, 20, was born in Paris. She moved to England when she was 5 years old. The pair have grown up on the big screen in front of tens of millions of fans and their latest outing, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1," which is directed by David Yates, has just opened in theaters worldwide.
