"Doing Potter was an incredible blessing because it gave me this opportunity to start a fantastic career," he told Daily Mail. "But then the moments I'm not as proud of, mistakes other actors get to make in rehearsal rooms or at drama school, are all on film for everyone to see."

Radcliffe notes that 'Half Blood Prince' sticks out in his mind as a bad performance as he can see many examples of himself learning how to act while on the job. "And that's why it's hard to watch a film like 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,' because I'm just not very good in it. I hate it," he said. "My acting is very one-note and I can see I got complacent and what I was trying to do just didn't come across."
