LOL: Excited Japanese Fangirl Gives Best Harry Potter Interviews Ever

Posted on Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

A Japanese comedy television show, Sanma Akashiya’s “Karakuri Terebi”, held a contest last month in which 10,000 of Japan’s biggest Harry Potter fans competed for a chance to travel to the UK and visit the set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The show intentionally picked the strangest and most obsessed fan as the winner, a girl named Kana, and surprised her with a chance to meet and interview Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter).

Even though the interviews are only partially subtitled, both of them are still laugh out loud hilarious. You MUST check out the videos, embedded after the jump.

  • hahaha, oh my god, so fucking funny
  • Only thing that could've made this funnier was if she fainted.
  • pyjammez
    Or if he slapped her for having such an annoying scream!
  • Haha, those were great! Rupert the whole time is thinking, WTF what am I supposed to do, its like speaking to an alien haha. Very cute videos though.
  • These could be... the greatest interviews EVER conducted with the cast of Harry Potter. I aspire to one day do an interview THIS awesome, seriously, so good! I want to hire this girl!
  • That's amazing, this girl should have her own chat show.
  • ryanm
    i question i should be proud or embarrassed to be japanese when i see these videos
  • Sppoky
    Don't make it a race thing. She's just jonesing over HP, you know.
  • ryanm
    didnt mean anythin serious, id be pretty damn excited to meet anyone from the potter films. i love that she shook every entree's hand, pretty touching.
  • Nick
    Ugh...that same old journalistic stand-by "Can I touch your eyelashes?"

    So lazy...
  • thrillhouse
    Yeah, she copped Kronkite's #1 move not but a week after his death!
  • Chris
    This was really hilarious. She touched his eyelashes, smelt him and got a piggyback ride. All the while Rupert had a WTF? laugh going on. Hilarious!
  • starscream9289
    Can you imagine the Twilight fans?
  • LuMendz
    "AHHHH! Bite me Rob, Bite meeeeee!"
  • ALTuna
    If I understand correctly, she shook hands with all the competition losers hands so that they may say that they shook hands with the hand that shook hands with Harry Potter's hand.

    Awesome ^_^
  • LuMendz
    LOL. The picture gave away what to expect from this. Just the look from the girl's face says everything. That was the best HP interview ever! Oh Japan, what would the rest of the world do without you? Jokingly and seriously.
  • IanMM
    hahaha...that was great. They should do interviews like this more often. They are a lot more entertaining and genuine then the mundane interviews most journalist do.
  • coldhearted
    that was really funny haha...
  • nickjones
    It's great that they gave this to a real fan.
  • grwe
    disgusting and embarrassing.
  • F*cking brilliant!
  • Lewis
    that is awesome
  • People are crazy sometimes
  • Is she Sacha Baron Cohen's new character? :)
  • Omg, that was hilarious :P
  • lmfao
  • Ben
    I think I just gained a lot of respect for those guys. Who knew they were such good sports.
  • Dan Berry
    these are absolutely brilliant.
  • Swarley
    I felt uncomfortable watching these, but only because I was expecting Dan or Rupert to do something rude or have the girl ask them something that they would just refuse to do. But they totally went along with it so it was awesome. Hilarious.
  • Juan
    She is so adorable!
    A little scary, but harmless. I thought she was awesome! And I think Daniel was just amazingly gracious and warm throughout the whole thing. Kudos to them both!
  • Juan
    That was so adorable! The cutest thing I've ever seen.
    I love how genuine and appreciative and almost spaz (in a good way) Kana was.
    Daniel was also very gracious and warm and very kind. They were both great!
  • Michael_C
    Fandom across cultural borders is officially the greatest thing ever. It's interesting to note that she doesn't interview Emma Watson, around whom I would probably act something like this.
  • Her interview with Emma Watson. http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=11539

    "That was Hermione, who played the role of Emma in the films."
  • Jerome
    The poster of these vids on youtube just added the Emma Watson one. It's a little over a minute and the girl sadly doesn't freak out as much. It's still funny though, and her reaction to getting a hug from Emma Watson would probably be the same as mine if I got a hug from her.
  • Estevan21
    Freakin' Brilliant! I love that they choose a real fan to give the interview, it just made one of the best interviews ever. Love it, when she jumps on Rupert's back and tries to get sorted by the sorting hat. XD This should so be how the interviews in the US and UK should be like. A true fan!
  • haha freaking great
  • Solid
    ALL ASIAN GIRLS ARE GREAT
  • I don't think anybody actually knew what was going on during the interviews... All the more entertaining for us!
  • Oh my god this is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Dan, this is what I dream girls in Japan are like to you. I'm going to have to say "Touch okay?" to people I meet now.
  • hahaah that was halarious it would've been weak if she had asked ron to kiss her AWKWARD!
  • Derp
    Stage 5 Clinger!
  • little_emmo
    The Daniel Radcliff one seems to have been pulled, as has the Emma Watson one someone linked below. Any idea where to find these elsewhere?

    Thanks in advance :D
  • little_emmo
    Anyone know where to find a working Daniel video? It says it's been pulled due to broadcasting copyright :[ Thanks!
  • JakeThan
    All interviews are currently on Youtube. It tried to post a link but didn't let me but you can search them as follows.

    "Daniel Radcliffe Meets His Biggest Fan from Japan" 7:37min by kingextreme

    The Ron and Emma ones have been combined into 1

    "Rupert Grint and Emma Watson: In Japan with a Fan/Reporter - Comments Enabled" 4:56min by firefoxricardo

    Hope this helps.

    They need to make a show where excitable Japanese girls interview their favorite foreign celebrities. Or at least a YouTube channel full of stuff like that.
