Dan Radcliffe apologized to Robbie Coltrane for Phone Prank

Daniel Radcliffe’s tendency to prank his fellow Harry Potter cast-mates often added levity to the set, but there was at least one time when his antics went a little too far.

Reportedly, Robbie Coltrane, who portrayed Hagrid in the films, was once a victim of a prank where the young actor changed the settings on his friend’s phone from English to Turkish. The joke seems harmless enough—except that Coltrane was left unable to make calls!

The infuriated actor had a hard time finding anyone on set who could change the settings of his phone back to English, and Radcliffe was left feeling understandably sheepish about what he had done. Coltrane remembers the event clearly:

Eventually we found a girl in the Harry Potter make-up department who was Turkish Cypriot. She phoned her mum and was chatting away in great detail until they sorted it out. I think Daniel was so upset at what had happened that he wrote me that note...'Dear Mr. Coltrane, I'm sorry I changed your mobile telephone into Turkish...

'Gilderoy Lockhart' actor Kenneth Branagh has been knighted!

Just yesterday, the actor who played Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets had a new reason to flash his famous smile - Kenneth Branagh was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace on Friday in sight of his family and friends.

"It's been a hell of a year for the U.K.," Branagh said, speaking to the timeliness of his award with such major British events as the Queen's Jubilee and summer Olympics. "I feel very honored to be a tiny part of it."

Branagh, a successful actor and director at 51, is widely known outside of the Potter fandom for his great love of Shakespeare, his performances in major films such as Valkyrie, My Week With Marilyn and Frankenstein, and for movies he has directed, such as Marvel's Thor. He now joins the royal British ranks alongside fellow Potter co-stars Sir Michael Gambon and Dame Maggie Smith.

We at MuggleNet would like to wish Sir Branagh good luck - or rather - that he "breaks-a-leg" in all his theatrical endeavors to come!
