Daniel Radcliffe: Gary, I was very, very sad when he, you know, died and had to leave the series but I had this an amazing moment when I went into make up and hair and he said - I really hope he doesn’t mind me telling the story it shows him as being so wonderful and human for somebody whose the most talented actor I can possibly imagine - he said ‘Dan do you think i’ve been a good Sirius?’ and I just went ‘Yes! You’ve been amazing Gary!’ and he said ‘You don’t think someone else would have been better?’ and I said ‘No! You’re fantastic!’ 

Then when we said goodbye it was amazing because working with me had meant a lot to him and he’s one of my heroes and to know you’ve actually had an effect on one of your idols, that’s when you feel like a dream has come true.
