Daniel Radcliffe Obsessed With 'The Master and Margarita'

Daniel Radcliffe's favorite novel is 'The Master and Margarita' and he is obsessed with it since the time laid hands on it.

In American Library Association's READ campaign, Daniel Radcliffe said, that he's "been obsessed with the novel ever since I read it about a year ago. I've always been a huge fan of Magical Realism. It’s an inspiring genre in which writers can just let their imaginations go wild and wonderful."

When asked about his favorite Harry Porter book, Daniel Radcliffe said, "My personal favorite is… Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, because it's involved with Harry's relationship with Sirius Black, the most interesting character in the series."

It’s a great, great novel. One of the best of the 20th century.

Didn't much like it myself.

Maybe Harry Potter sees a naked role for himself in it, like Equus.

Hermione playing the naked chick who flys around on a pig would really be something, though ...

I wonder what would happen if somebody gave him a copy of Carlos Castaneda’s stuff? It has blown a lot of minds in its time.

His real name was Arthur Henry Sarsfeld Ward and wrote under the names of Sax Rohmer and Michael Furey.

He had eight different names, then. :’) He could have written under Arthur Sarsfield or Henry Ward, or even Ward Arthur, or Henry Ward-Sarsfield. :’)
