We're pretty sure there's a spell in the "Harry Potter" series that turns an actor into a total douchebag and "inhabits" his character to the degree that everyone hates him. (No wait — that was Val Kilmer in "The Doors." Apologies for the mix-up.)
Daniel Radcliffe, on the other hand, gets it.
See this interview in which he insists that he's Harry Potter, who then plays the actor when he's not on set.
