Gary Oldman has revealed that, upon reflection of his Harry Potter<\/a> role, he feels as though his acting in the films was \u201cmediocre\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast<\/a> with host Josh Horowitz, Oldman revealed that the Harry Potter films are what he\u2019s most widely recognised by fans for when asking for autographs.<\/p>\n

But Oldman surprised many when he went on to add: \u201cI think my work is mediocre in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I do. Maybe if I had read the books like Alan [Rickman], if I had got ahead of the curve, if I had known what\u2019s coming, I honestly think I would have played it differently.\u201d<\/p>\n
