The franchise gave us several favorite characters like Severus Snape, Lord Voldemort, Sirius Black, Harry Potter, and many more. In the film, fans loved to see the chemistry between Daniel Radcliffe and Gary Oldman, playing the roles of Harry Potter and Sirius Black.
Gary Oldman played a massive role both on and off-screen. TheDarkest Houractor was admired by the child actor and his presence would improve Radcliffe’s acting, as he motivated him.

During an exclusive interview with MTV News,Daniel Radcliffestated that he had a scary moment with Gary Oldman on the set of Harry Potter. The sequels would look into Potter’s tragedy. And by that time, the actor was mature enough to explore the franchise’s darker material and portray the character’s heavy emotions. However, he faced difficulty because“it’s kind of hard to find that level when you’re 15,”but the young actor was helped by Oldman in showcasing raw emotions.
“[Gary Oldman] came up to me and said, ‘Do you mind if we get a bit intense?’ And then he came towards me. I thought he was going to hold me, but he shook me and screamed at me! So hard that when he let me go, I almost fell. I wanted to go crawl up in a fetal position.”
The actor explained the intensity of the Academy Award-winning actor helped him in showcasing raw and powerful emotions in the movie.
“And then he said, ‘Throw your head back and scream.’ And it worked.”
Through this incident, we can realize how the actors share a close bond both on and off the screen, as Sirius Black plays a crucial role in Harry Potter’s life serving as a friend, mentor, and ally. Due to this “intense” incident on the set, the young actor gave several powerful performances in the series, that made the audience sit on the edge of their seats while moving them into tears.

“He’s always somebody who — just from being around, I don’t know whether it is from some kind of quite pure and childish desire to want to impress him or out of the fact that he just gets something out of me — having him around for some reason on the fifth film was such an amazing thing for me as an actor, and hopefully he’ll have that effect again.”
The fifth sequel toHarry Potterwas one of the best because it showed a more complex and darker theme compared to the first four films. The sequel had an outstanding performance from everyone in the cast.
