Actor Jason Isaacs has made some new comments about his young Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows co-stars, praising how Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have handled fame and life in the spotlight. In his typical lighthearted gracious and humorous fashion, Jason joked “that the films would have benefitted if their young stars had been more
rebellious. “The problem with Harry Potter is that there is so little
controversy,” he complained at the first night of Sister Act,
the West End musical. “It would be so great for the press if one of
them would go off the rails and end up in rehab, but they are,
actually, just really sweet guys.”

In the interview with The Telegraph, Jason Isaacs also continued to speak about the bright future ahead for the Trio, noting:

“They can fall backwards on their mountains of cash,” he said. “It
doesn’t matter. They’re really talented and they’ve got each other as
close friends, which is all that matters because no one else has been
through the same thing.

“What is amazing about them is that
they are still respectful and have humility and work ethic. I have met
and sometimes worked with their American equivalents and they have none
of those things.

“Daniel will potentially be a great director
or producer. He’s very interested in behind-the-camera work. Remember,
they have spent more hours in front of the camera in the last decade
than most people have in their entire career.”
