Harry
Potter
star
Daniel
Radcliffe
was
desperate
to
know
whether
or
not
his
character
would
still
be
alive
by
the
end
of
the
final
book.
Author
JK
Rowling
reveals
that
Radcliffe
had
been
so
concerned
about
Harry
dying
in
'The
Deathly
Hallows'
that
when
she
took
him
out
for
dinner
to
discuss
the
character,
he
begged
her
to
reveal
his
fate.
"At
one
point,
during
dinner,
he
said,
'Look,
I've
just
got
to
ask
you,
'Do
I
die?'" Contactmusic
quoted
her,
as
saying.
Rowling
adds
that
she
barely
managed
to
field
the
question
by
giving
Radcliffe
a
roundabout
answer,
without
revealing
whether
Potter
would
live
or
die.
"I
thought
quick
and
I
whispered,
so
no
one
else
could
hear,
'You
get
a
death
scene.'
But
Dan's
very
smart
and
I'm
pretty
sure
he
would
have
walked
away
from
that
dinner
thinking,
'Yeah,
I
get
a
death
scene
but
what
does
that
mean?'" she
said.
The
Harry
Potter
series
came
to
an
end
recently
when
the
final
book
-
The
Deathly
Hallows
-
was
released
worldwide
on
July
21.
