Dan's Celebrity Influences at History Boys Website
Posted by Page
In the Celebrity Influences section of the official site for The History Boys, Dan graciously noted to the site two influences in his life, both before Harry Potter, and after. I've typed out all of the text here, because their site is done in FLASH and not everyone has a flash player on their computers. When speaking about school and whether or not any teachers had an influence on him:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Did you have an inspiring or or particularly memorable teacher who played a part in making you who you are today?"
Dan: "Before I started playing Harry Potter, I attended a London prep school which was not a happy experience. I left it to play Harry with my confidence at rock bottom and belief in my ability at absolute zero. However, on HP I was tutored by an astonishing woman called Lina Wright. Over a period of six years she (with the support of City of London School) has built my confidence and given me a love of learning which I am certain will never leave me. The most amazing thing about her was that she recently taught me at AS.Level subjects such as History and Religion and Philosophy which were not her areas of expertise, her subjects of choice being Maths and Science. The fact that she is a born teacher is, to me, proven by her ability to take on copious amounts of new information, and communicate it to me in a way that made the subjects interesting. Lina and I are very different in what we believe about religion or politics, or any number of subjects, and so debate was ever present in our classroom, meaning that I didn't just take on information in order to churn it out again at a set date, but rather I learnt to organize the information in my mind, know what I truly thought about it, and would then have it challenged by Lina (never afraid to play the devil's advocate). Above all of this however, she has been and will remain a friend who I am privileged to know. It is not an exaggeration to say that she changed my life!"
"Is there a book or poem that you read during your own schooldays (or indeed more recently) that has made a particularly strong impact on you?"
Dan: "At AS Level I studied the poems of Tony Harrison. At first, I found some of the poems dense and hard to understand but as I got used to his style and learnt more about his background the poems became not just clear but brilliant. My favourite poem of his was called ALLOTMENTS and it was the first poem of his that I really understood. It was exciting and inspirational because it showed me that a poem could be both funny and dark, filthy but not gratuitous and complex yet accessible all at the same time. It's main theme is the youthful sexual exploits of the poet himself around the city of Leeds and how, after being caught by a concentration camp survivor whilst having sex outside an abattoir, he is left in a state of anguish. Tony Harrison works in the dialogue of the camp survivor seamlessly and in a darkly comic way. I love this poem."
