For someone playing such an important role in one of the best selling films of all time, you would think he may in touch with his film side. His response was "Yeah I know, it's really bad".
The 22-year-old actor explains, "I saw 'The Phantom Menace,' and everyone's like, 'You saw that one! You didn't see the originals?!'" I know! I was ten! I didn't know any better!"
Despite never setting eyes on the film Radcliffe still goes on to say, "I'm sure they're amazing and incredible but I think there is a slightly more balanced split between the sexes in the fan base of 'Potter,'" Radcliffe postulates. "I associate 'Star Wars' as being a predominantly male thing.
And I think 'Potter' is split more evenly."
He also notes that "because 'Potter' started out as a book, it's created a generation of literary nerds in a way that 'Star Wars' perhaps didn't".
He does admit that "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter" have one thing in common and that is: nerds. "Nerds are the best things in the world," he says, "I think of myself as a nerd".
"I know that I would love them because I'm a geek," he says, "so I would definitely get into them."
