The website for upcoming movie The History Boys includes a piece on Daniel Radcliffe (in the History section) where he discusses how his tutor for the Potter movies inspired him and helped boost his confidence over the past six years.
"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 the 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..."

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson recently did an interview with The Telegraph speaking about the end of the movie and book franchise, as well as some other topics. Dan discusses whether or not he's had a normal childhood, saying:
"I don't feel I've missed out on anything. Perhaps I've grown up slightly faster than some other people my age simply because from the age of 11 I've been surrounded by more adults than kids. I've had a working relationship with adults and that does change how you develop and mature. You possibly do grow up slightly faster.
"The other day, somebody said the last Harry Potter film will probably be released in 2010. I don't know how true that is, but if it's the case then that will have been 10 years of my life and that's a huge chunk, so I'll be sad because it will be the end of an era in a way. But I equally imagine it will be quite exciting to be out of that world."
Also, This Is London reports Dan will gross $50 million for the next two films together.
Don't forget the trio will be on Richard & Judy today. We'll have a video online shortly afterwards. EDIT: Looks like it didn't air. We'll update you with more soon.

The BBC recently conducted an interview with Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe where he talked about filming Half-Blood Prince and what he thought of Deathly Hallows amongst other things. On how the sixth film is coming along:
"Really well. I've just been doing a bit of work with Jim Broadbent who plays Horace Slughorn, who's just fantastic. And we've been doing a bit of stuff with me and Rupert Grint. We haven't done any scenes with all the kids yet in the Great Hall - that's all to look forward to just after Christmas. It's glorious to be working with [director] David Yates again."
Dan acknowledged he didn't read the seventh book until about four days after it came out, so he was "walking around with his fingers in his ears." Luckily, it wasn't spoiled for him.

Two new articles have been released that focus on the final two films in the Harry Potter series. The first article from the Winnipeg Sun is a look at actors Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, and how they have grown up without much incident through the first six films. Producer David Heyman, director David Yates and actress Imelda Staunton all praised the trio in the interview, and Heyman credited Chris Columbus with doing an extraordinary job with initially casting them. Radcliffe also addressed just how committed he is to these films:
"So, to me, it's just about letting people know that I'm incredibly serious and passionate about this -- this series of films -- and how much they mean to me. If you've been involved in something for more than seven years now, you want to be able to talk about it articulately and explain why you love it, explain why you loved being involved in it so much."
The second article from the Edmonton Sun addresses the mood of Half-Blood Prince, and how different it will be from Deathly Hallows. Producer David Heyman said that humor in the sixth film will be "slightly warmer," but Radcliffe noted he can't wait to get to the more darker tone of the seventh and final film.

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint were all named some of the top earning "20 under 25" stars according to Forbes magazine. Dan took the top honors for the male actors, landing the countdown at number six, racking in $15 million. Emma came in 15th with $4 million along with co-star Rupert, closely following at number 16. The top-earning actor on the list, Harry Potter alter-ego Daniel Radcliffe, 18, earned $15 million. That's more than performers twice his age, like Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock, who earned $14 million and $10 million, respectively, made over the same period. The Potter franchise catapulted Radcliffe's co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint to the list with $4 million apiece. This summer's fifth installment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, was the second highest-grossing film of the year (edged out by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End), raking in $938 million worldwide. The trio are already filming the follow-up, Half-Blood Prince. E! Entertainment will have a one-hour special on this countdown on Saturday, December 22nd, at 6 PM EST.

Warner Brothers has released the first official picture from Half-Blood Prince, depicting Harry entering a room while clutching the Marauder's Map and a potion book.
As a reminder, our Half-Blood Prince movie section is filled with information concerning the latest filming and cast news.
Additionally, Warner Bros. has released the official description of the film:
"Fantasy Adventure. Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again."

In a press release yesterday, Warner Brothers announced that their movies will be exclusively on Blu-Ray high definition discs starting in May 2008. Currently, all five Potter films are available in HD-DVD and Blu-Ray formats. All of WB's movies will continue to be released on standard DVD.
Because of WB's announcement, Sony's Blu-Ray format is dominating the high-definition market. Most major movie studios are now exclusive to it, and the competing HD-DVD format is likely to disappear soon.

The Sunday Mirror reported earlier today that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has written a story that is set to become a mini-movie used at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter when it opens in late 2009 or early 2010.
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are said to shoot the mini-movie prior to initial filming of Deathly Hallows. The article stated:
"They are also working on extra sequences and clips which will be part of the rides."
Rowling has reportedly been involved throughout the process. Please treat this as a rumor for now as The Mirror is not the most reliable news source.

Back in mid-July we told you that Dan would appear at TimesTalk in NYC to promote and discuss his upcoming performance in Equus.
A staff member of Snitch Seeker was present at the event and took lots of notes from what Dan had to say. In their report, we learn a lot about Equus and some information concerning Half-Blood Prince.
The most timely thing learned about Half-Blood Prince was a comment from Dan on the delay, which he says he found out about only 24 hours before everyone else. He also asked everyone to not blame him for the delay.

The actor who plays Harry Potter is once again appearing in Details Magazine, this time in their October issue to promote Equus. Details' website has online a video interview with Dan, who's sporting a very unique new hairstyle for the magazine's photoshoot.
Radcliffe is a little manic. He leans forward as he talks—arms tightly folded, eyes darting about, speaking quickly through a clenched jaw that's lightly dusted with stubble. It's likely that Radcliffe is a bit jumpy about being in public—since we left his Manhattan hotel against his handlers' wishes, a bodyguard trailing by a discreet half-block, our stroll has attained the frisson of a Compton roll with Snoop Dogg.
"Not particularly," Radcliffe says when asked if he's nervous. "No, no, no, not at all! The reason I'm looking around is 'cause I always like to clock where everybody is in terms of who's recognized me. 'Cause they try to be subtle and they never are."
What's the latest count?
"Well, there were those two Japanese girls, and that couple over there, and those other two girls, and that mother and daughter . . . "

“I didn’t want to just rehash the performance,” he said. “I wanted it to be a lot stronger and have a lot more anger. Also, the ideas they play with in ‘A Clockwork Orange’ are so similar. It’s about taking away what makes someone an individual so they fit into society as a whole.”

The jeans we told you Equus star Dan Radcliffe would be auctioning off at one of his performances ended up selling for $950. DanRadcliffe.com has this report:
It was hilarious: they started the bid at $50, and it kept going up and up and finally looked like it was going to stop at about $700ish but then it kept battling between these two guys and finally one guy was like "IF HE SIGNS THEM I'LL GIVE $800" and Daniel got really really excited and was like "YES I WILL SIGN THEM!!" and was jumping around on stage! It was so cute! But then the price kept jumping up and finally settled at $950. I have to say, it was adorable to see Daniel so genuinely excited, and he was so funny too! at one point as the bidding was going on he went, "come on now! you all know what happens in these jeans at the end of the first act!"

As this news post is being written, the final performance of Equus on Broadway starring Dan Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths is getting underway. Dan and Richard first started their Equus roles in London's West End in mid-February 2007. Playbill.com reports:
When it closes, the acclaimed revival will have played 21 previews and 156 regular performances. Previews began Sept. 5, 2008, with an official opening Sept. 25.
Radcliffe and Griffiths, who played to sold-out crowds in the London revival of the Shaffer play, reprised their work for Broadway audiences. Radcliffe stars as Alan Strang with Griffiths as Dr. Martin Dysart. Ever-busy stage and screen actress Kate Mulgrew plays Hesther Saloman, the role created on Broadway by veteran actress Marian Seldes in 1974.
The production had to end around this time so Dan could get back to the United Kingdom to begin filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows beginning in the next couple weeks. Congrats to Dan, Richard, and the entire Equus team for two years of amazing theatrical performances!

OK! Magazine is reporting that earlier today, Potter film stars Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton (with his girlfriend) visited the stuntman who was seriously injured on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
The actors appeared shaken upon leaving the hospital, and with due cause – Holmes has been Daniel's body double for all of the Harry Potter movies, and the injuries to his spine could cause paralysis.

The latest issue of Empire Magazine, set to be released on April 23, will contain interviews with actor Daniel Radcliffe and movie producer David Heyman, as part of its Harry Potter feature.
Empire released a preview in which the pair discuss the splitting of the final film. Whilst no mention was made as to where the split will occur, David Heyman gives us an insight into how this point was selected.
"We've played around with a couple of places and ultimately settled on a place that we think is very exciting, and I think quite bold, in that it's not necessarily where one might expect. You want to give a sense of completion, on one hand, but a sense that there's another piece, more to come. We tried one and then Steve (Kloves, screenwriter) came up with the idea to try it another way and when we tried that, it felt just right."
Daniel Radcliffe added that the split is "at a very tense cliff-hanger". He also speaks briefly about filming the epilogue, saying, "I am nervous about that because if it's good I'll be really, really pleased; if it's not good and that's what people are left with, that would be awful. If it's a choice between having me, Rupert and Emma looking a bit stupid and it being slightly comical or having other actors play us, I would go for other actors every time. So, we'll see."

A new interview with Daniel Radcliffe and producer David Heyman has been publised in Empire Magazine.
Dan talks about how refreshing Deathly Hallows part one is because it's always set in different places, and not just at Hogwarts. He also said, "I think for me, what's intimidating is going to be the walk at the end to meet Voldemort in the forest. That's going to be really tough, but I can't wait."
Heyman added what will probably be a relief for fans who want the films to be completely true to the books, "I think there'll be less edited from this film than films past because we have the freedom of making two films and I think it's going to be fantastic."
Scans are also online, thanks to our friends at DanRadcliffe.com: Dan & David 1 | Dan & David 2 | Dan & David 3 | Dan & David 4 | Trio 1 | Trio 2

MTV has posted four video interviews with Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson where the actors talk about the Half-Blood Prince movie.
MTV also talked to producer David Heyman who said that "the most difficult choice was to edit out some of the flashbacks in the memories that Harry explores. Each film has to exist on its own terms, and alas, within these memories, they're really significant and actually in the whole body of the series play a very significant part, but within the film they are detours in a way, going into a story about Voldemort, who doesn't really appear in this film."

Forbes has released their list of the Most Powerful Celebrities, and Harry Potter's Dan Radcliffe comes in at #70:
The 19-year-old continues to rake in $25 million each time he dons his circular glasses to play Harry Potter. The sixth installment of the franchise hits theaters in late July. Radcliffe has two more films to go; the final book was split in two movies. It remains to be seen if he can become a box-office draw outside of the Warner Bros. fantasy blockbusters.

Australia's Herald Sun visited the set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince last year and interviewed Daniel Radcliffe. The article describes Leavesden Studios and a day on the set when Slughorn's Christmas party was being filmed.
Radcliffe’s not in this scene, but he’s happily watching what Jim Broadbent, who makes his Potter debut in the Half-Blood Prince as Horace Slughorn, does with his several go-throughs.
Slughorn is greeting guests, including Luna Lovegood (played by the wonderfully eccentric Evanna Lynch) dressed up like a silver Christmas tree, and with each take Broadbent mixes it up — easy stuff for a veteran of his status.
‘‘I wasn’t in the first shot this morning but I went down to watch it just ’cos . . . I’m just interested in it and I want to see how other people act together. It’s about learning, for me,’’ Radcliffe says.
Thanks to the great people at Snitch Seeker, you can read the rest of the article here.

The countdown to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince continues today, as the Los Angeles Times released its interview with Daniel Radcliffe. In this new interview, Radcliffe talks about his life playing the character he is so known for:
"I would like to think I haven’t been influenced by [Harry] too much just by playing him for so long,” Radcliffe said. “I am thrilled to have this in my life, but it is separate from my life, you know? It’s nice to be called Dan. And actually I started correcting people now. You do feel like a bit of an idiot doing that, but at the same time, in the long run it is better for us. I know it’s better for me."

We have yet another great interview with Daniel Radcliffe--this time from the Guardian. Dan discusses life as a celebrity, shows his passion for art, literature and poetry, and may have let slip the university co-star Emma Watson might be attending in the fall.
Here's an excerpt:
The film also marks Harry's second kiss, with Ginny Weasley, sister of best friend Ron. Was that enjoyable? "It was quite weird for me because I've known Bonnie [Wright, who plays Ginny] since she was nine and I was 11. Very strange. But we got through it. It was good. And it'll get a bit of a cheer from the Potter fans. But I have to say, today I saw playback of Ron and Hermione's kiss [from the final book], and it is easily, from what we've filmed so far, the biggest moment in all the films. It is," he says approvingly, "a great kiss."

In a new article with Time Magazine, Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe answers questions from fans ranging from how different he is from the character of Harry to what it is like working with such British acting royalty. One fan even asked him something no journalist ever thought of before.
What do you think has been Harry's greatest misstep or failure in judgment? — Susan Bevins, Winter Park, Fla.
Susan Bevins, you have asked a question no journalist has ever asked me. I think the way he treated his friends a couple of films ago was quite questionable. They're always there for him, and he was a little bit ungrateful. I think Harry is a flawed character. He can be quite selfish and really manipulative. He's not all sweetness and light.

In an interview with Attitude magazine, Dan Radcliffe revealed that he will be voting Liberal Democrat in the next general election.
"I rather like Nick Clegg. At the next election I will almost certainly vote Lib Dem.
"If all the people who liked them voted for them you could change politics overnight and we could have a proper three-party system," he added.
He also discussed his loathing for homophobia:
"I grew up around gay people entirely. I was the only child in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that."

Daniel Radcliffe recently made a "major donation" to the Trevor Project--"a non-profit organization that operates the only nationwide, around-the-clock crisis and suicide prevention helpline for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth."
"I am very pleased to begin my support of The Trevor Project, which saves lives every day through its critical work," said Daniel Radcliffe. "It's extremely distressing to consider that in 2009 suicide is a top three killer of young people, and it's truly devastating to learn that LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers. I deeply hope my support can raise the organization's visibility so even more despondent youth become aware of The Trevor Helpline's highly trained counselors and Trevor's many other resources. It's vitally important that young people understand they are not alone and, perhaps even more important, that their young lives have real value."

"I'd have to say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' not that anyone has asked me," the 20-year-old actor told me last week in England. "Honestly, I don't think they would want me anyway, it's just too close. Whatever I do next, I don't think there will be any wizards in it!"

Variety is reporting that Dan Radcliffe will be starring in an upcoming musical titled "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" on Broadway.
Producers, directors, and choreographers are already in place but Dan is the only cast member set for the production. A reading set to be held in December will determine who the other cast members are. From Variety:
Written by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert, with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, "How to Succeed" chronicles the rise of a crafty window cleaner as he follows the advice of a self-help manual to connive his way up through the ranks of the World Wide Wickets Co. and get the girl in the process.
As most fans know, Dan starred in London and New York productions of the stageplay "Equus" alongside fellow Potter actor Richard Griffiths during 2007 - 2008. We'll update with more when we can! Thanks to Maggie for the tip.

Dracula, and Homer try to squash the budding romance. “Daniel was very excited to do The Simpsons,” says Jean, “and we kept trying to ask him for secrets from the upcoming Harry Potter movie until we realized that they were all in the books.”

Director David Yates and the cast of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows spoke to Brazilian blog Vira-Tempo about the Half-Blood Prince Blu-Ray and DVD, filming the final movies and the characters they play.
David Yates commented on the Half-Blood Prince live community screening Dec. 12:
It’s happened before, but not on the global scale that we're going to do because obviously there are Harry Potter fans everywhere on the planet. It's on December 12th of this year and Daniel Radcliffe and I will be answering questions directly from fans via BD-Live about how we made the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and some of the things that were challenging as we made it, and some of the things that I'm sure the fans will begin to know about: Why did we leave some things out? Why did some things come in? And it will be the first time that we'll really engage with that global fan-base on a minute-by-minute basis, so it'll be really cool.

See that look on Dan's face? It's an expression of madness. A new interview with the lead Potter star reveals that things are crazy on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as they try to nail down the final scenes to shoot:
"It's chaos and it's fear and we're terrified we're not going to get it right, and it's absolute madness with rewrites and script changes and scripts not being written and then coming," he said with a smile. "It's just mad."
But Radcliffe and the "Potter" cast and crew have been this way before, and it all seems to work out in the end. The six films in the franchise have grossed more than $1.7 billion domestically.
"Amidst all that, something wonderful hopefully will emerge," Radcliffe said. "That's what I quite like about the film industry. Chaos bears something so cool and great and polished out into the world."
MTV also released this deleted scene from Half-Blood Prince today to coincide with the release of the DVD.

MTV has released another article from their recent visit to the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This time we learn about Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Tom Felton's musical tastes for filming:
"Lots and lots of Radiohead. Loads of stuff. I often come back to stuff like Radiohead and Hope of the States for those harder scenes."
Based on recent, early morning experience, co-star Tom Felton confirmed Radcliffe's pre-shoot music obsession. "Daniel loves it in the makeup room," Felton said. "He thumps it out — we're talking 6 in the morning — some '60s ska/punk band. It's like, 'All right, man!' He loves it."

In October, Variety reported that Dan Radcliffe would be starring in the Broadway musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying". At the time, Dan was the only cast member set for the production.
Today, Broadway World is reporting that Dan participated in a table read of the musical in New York City on Monday. The reporter was very pleased with Dan's performance during the read:
First things first. Daniel Radcliffe was AMAZING. He interpreted the role in a charming, adorable and fresh way. He sang great. I think everyone was there to see if he could do it. And boy, he really did it. He was great. He came off as a full-fledged musical star. Those of us who saw him in Equus know he has the stage chops as a dramatic actor but now I can say that he could easily take Broadway by storm as a musical comedy star, too. After that final Harry Potter movie comes out, this guy can do whatever he wants in any medium. I loved him. And it seems to me that he is the youngest actor to play the role of Finch. And his youth made the show feel fresh and new. It had a new kind of innocence to contrast the cynicism of the world he is in.
We'll keep you updated on any new developments!

The Sunday Mail has a new interview with actor Daniel Radcliffe and producer David Barron. The two discuss the camping scenes shot in Scotland and how they dealt with the frigid weather in the area last week.
Producer David Barron made a snap decision not to write snow scenes into the plot. He said:
"If we had the likelihood is that by the time we filmed them, the snow would have gone. We have only lost half a day's filming because of the snow."
Instead of shooting the scheduled outdoor sequences last week, the team moved back inside the studios and completed scenes on the giant Hogwarts Great Hall set.
As he prepared to act out a dramatic scene in the battle against Voldemort, Daniel revealed that audiences can expect a change of scene when the first part of the finale is released later this year. He said:
"Part I is a road movie. We are not in Hogwarts at all and it's going to look very different, and the action is going to be pretty extraordinary."

On Rupert and Emma: "The young actors each took home $30 million for the two-part franchise finale Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
On Dan: "The Potter star made $40 million for Hallows. Has there been a more radically life-changing casting of an unknown? Maybe Al Pacino in The Godfather? Help me understand."

UPDATE: Killer Films got in touch with SlashFilm, who originally reported this story, and revealed that the woman who tweet'd the information is not producing the film. Therefore, this rumor is false.
Does Dan Radcliffe have his first post- Potter film all set?
The producer of the upcoming film 'The Lucky One', based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, tweeted yesterday...
Heading to Doug McGrath's script reading, starring Daniel Radcliffe
And then later...
Daniel Radcliffe and Lily Rabe were AMAZING together!
As Slashfilm points out, filming for 'The Lucky One' is set to begin in May. That's right around the time Deathly Hallows is expected to finish filming (we've heard filming should go well into June).
You can read about the book over on Amazon. As always, we'll keep you updated!

More pieces of the interview Dan Radcliffe conducted with MTV are now online. The Harry Potter actor discusses filming The Epilogue, who will play his daughter, the forest scene with Gary Oldman and David Thewlis, his thoughts on Twitter, gay rumors, being a role model and his possible return to Broadway.
On the forest scene:
"It was just one of those things where I'd put a lot of pressure on myself beforehand to get it right and so I wasn't able to relax and enjoy it as much as I might have done otherwise."
"Gary was brilliant at it and he was there, David Thewlis obviously has died by that point in the film, and also there was my parents played by Adrian and Geraldine were there as well."
You can watch all the videos courtesy of MTV right here. All video segments are located on the right-hand side of the site.

A couple weeks ago we told you that Dan had signed on to star in a remake of the musical 'How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying'. It will hit Broadway in the Spring.
Today, a few details concerning Dan's preparation have come out via The Daily Mail:
Candy Spelling, who will be one of the show's producers, told me she saw Daniel at a casting audition and a rehearsed run-through for backers and she was impressed with the nimbleness of his dance moves, and his singing voice.
Thanks to Snitch Seeker for the tip.

According to a recent article, Dan Radcliffe, the actor who portrays Harry Potter, held a charity dinner in London earlier this week. The benefit was to help pay for the medical bills of 26 year old stunt man, David Holmes. Mr. Holmes, readers may recall, fell during a practice run for the filming of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows early last year.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt also contributed to the charity event by donating boxing gloves that raised $6,000.

Tonight, first-time Broadway actress Scarlett Johansson (you may know her from her extensive film work) picked up the Tony for Featured Actress in a Play (for her work in "A View from the Bridge"). While her acceptance speech was pleasant, of particular note was that the award was presented by Daniel Radcliffe alongside Katie Holmes. Dan said:
"They say that a picture is worth a thousand words; well, the work by the women nominated for a feature actress in a play is proof that a play is worth a thousand pictures."
Dan was looking sharp alongside Katie Holmes, and this newsposter most certainly looks forward to his triumphant return next year on Broadway in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." More news on that as we have it.

UPDATE: MTV has posted a much longer version of the interview starting at this link. Dan talks about playing Harry Potter in another form.. among other things!
MTV took a tour of Hogwarts Castle at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Orlando with Dan Radcliffe, and during the interview Dan had this interesting bit to say about a big scene during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
Radcliffe himself was flooded with memories while standing there. The room most reminded him of the end of "Chamber of Secrets," in the scene with Richard Harris' Dumbledore and Jason Isaac's Lucius Malfoy. But he also said that the office plays a part in a scene audiences have yet to see. "One of the key scenes in the series happens in this room, where towards the end of ['Deathly Hallows'], Harry learns something about Snape's past in relation to him, and that takes place in this room. In fact, actually, it takes place pretty much here," he said, motioning to where he was standing. "And that is kind of pretty much possibly the key scene in the series, you might say. There's a certain argument for that."

When MTV spoke with Daniel Radcliffe at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park last week, they asked Dan about recent pop culture phenomenons such as pop music sensation Justin Bieber.
Hilariously, Dan says he wasn't sure of Justin's gender:
"I only heard Justin Bieber for the first time two weeks ago," Radcliffe told MTV News. "I genuinely thought it was a woman singing. I'd never heard it before. Is it big in England yet?"

Variety is reporting that Potter star Daniel Radcliffe will take the lead role in a remake of the Oscar-winning Best Picture "All Quiet on the Western Front":
The WWI drama tells the story of Paul Baumer (Radcliffe), a young German soldier fighting in the trenches of France.
Producing duo Ian Stokell and Lesley Paterson wrote the script and will produce through their Sliding Down Rainbows Entertainment production shingle.
Says Stokell, "Daniel brings a vulnerability and innocence to Paul. When we realized how much he loved the script we were really excited because we know he can tap into the delicate balance between intensity and believability that is critical for this demanding role."
The film is set to begin filming in Spring 2012. Congrats, Dan!

The lead actor of the Harry Potter film series spoke with The Los Angeles Times today via phone and commented on the rumors about his presence at this past week's Comic Com:
"I apologize to all the wishful thinkers for my disappointing non-presence," Radcliffe said Monday by phone from London.
The actor, who has finished some post-production voice work on the last "Potter" film, says he is still grappling a bit with the concept that he will never wear the robes of Hogwarts on screen again. He still cares deeply about "Potter" fans, though -- he sounded genuinely distressed to hear for the first time about the wildfire rumors that led fans to believe he would be at the San Diego pop-culture expo that wrapped up on Sunday.
"Really? Oh, God, I had no idea. I suppose it's like when I'm at Reading Festival and I hear that suddenly some amazing band is going to play a surprise gig and then it turns out to be total fiction."
Dan also discussed how his 21st birthday went. He revealed that he had spent the time with two friends in St. Petersburg. Read the full article at this link!

Daniel Radcliffe answered some questions about "Deathly Hallows" and his commitment to gay rights in an interview with Out Magazine. He is also on this month's cover.
Regarding "Harry Potter," Dan admitted to keeping a few props from the set:
"I've got two pairs [of glasses] from the seventh film and the pair I wore in the very, very first movie — which are really tiny on my head now!" he said.
The actor also spoke out against homophobia:
"I think that with every generation, people become more open to those ideas and more aware and more educated. But it’s a really, really slow process. If you take any family with parents who are bringing their kids up in a narrow-minded way that includes homophobia, it will take a very profound moment of realization to change those deep-seated views."

In light of several recent youth suicides that have occurred over the past month, Dan has issued this statement to MTV with his feelings on the matter:
"Learning about the suicide deaths of Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh, Asher Walker, Billy Lucas and Justin Aaberg has been heartbreaking for me. These young people were bullied and tormented by people that should have been their friends. We have a responsibility to be better to each other, and accept each others' differences regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ability, or religion and stand up for someone when they're bullied."
"When a friend is feeling depressed or says they're thinking of killing themselves, we must take it seriously and get them help. My deepest sympathies go out to the families and friends of these excellent young people. And to all the young people who are being bullied right now, you are not alone. Call the Trevor Lifeline at 866 4-U-TREVOR, because there's always someone there who will listen and who can help."
We're glad to see Dan speaking out about this and agree with his tip 100%. Visit The Trevor Project's website for more information.

In a new interview with several Harry Potter fansites including MuggleNet, Dan Radcliffe discusses a variety of topics related to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1. Read the entire interview at this link, and read our specific question to Dan below. Enjoy!
Question: For people who haven't read the books, do you think the fans reaction will turn in the first half of the movie against Dumbledore because of Rita's book?
Dan: Good question. I hope so. That's kind of the intention. Because that for me is what the first film is about. It's about faith. It's about how far can faith be tested before you give in entirely. He hears so much about Dumbledore that is less than redeemable and he starts to really question why he is going on this insane, demanding mission which is costing him his friends and potentially will cost him his life.. for someone he starts to question the values of. Hopefully at the end of the first film people should be very much wondering ‘Well what is this? What was Dumbledore's real agenda?'
