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...
Have you ever been part of a prank gone too far? Let us know in the comments!

Jason Isaacs - the actor who portrayed Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series - has a new show airing on NBC called Awake. We shared with you the pilot episode of the show earlier (unfortunately this was only available in the US), and today we have the official trailer for the premiere.
Awake features Jason Isaacs as a detective living in two different realities. His character, detective Michael Britten, regains consciousness following a severe car accident involving his wife Hannah [Laura Allen] and his son Rex [Dylan Minette]. Upon regaining consciousness, Michael begins to live in two realities, one while he is awake and the other while he is asleep. However, he is unable to distinguish which one is real and which one is the dream. His character begins moving back and forth between the two "realities", dealing with different personal conflicts and police partners as well as psychologists.
The executive producer of the series, Howard Gordon, also produced television hit series Homeland, 24 (this editor's favorite show), the X-Files, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show airs this Thursday on NBC at 10PM. Check your local listings for channels and times.
