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...

Photo: Emma Watson sports radical new hairstyle, talks with Entertainment Weekly about it

A new photo of Emma Watson released today reveals her brand new hair style. See a full size photo at this link! Below, Emma talks about her new doo with Entertainment Weekly:

"Oh my God, it was the most liberating thing!" she tells EW.com. "The stylist just grabbed the back of my hair and took a whole ponytail of hair out. It felt amazing. I love it." The chic, gamine cut, created by New York stylist Rodney Cutler of Cutler Salon and seen in this exclusive Polaroid from EW's upcoming Fall Movie Preview issue, might not seem like a huge deal to most 20-year-olds. But Watson has had to sport essentially the same hairstyle for ten years while she played Hermione. "I missed all that experimentation that most teenagers go through," she says. "I've wanted to do this since I was about 16, so as soon as I had the chance I was like, 'Right. This is it.'"

Emma Thompson confirms she filmed scenes for Deathly Hallows

Hot on the heels of a story we first reported the other day, Professor Trelawney actress Emma Thompson has now directly confirmed her appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Emma revealed the information during a press junket for her upcoming film 'Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang'.

She said she had "done her two days" of shooting. Fans were worried she would not return for the film after she made comments in 2008 hinting at moving on from Potter.

Moveover, she confirmed that her sister Sophie Thompson will play Mafalda Hopkirk (though we already knew this). If you're in the UK, you can listen to the interview at this link. Thanks to Ryan for the tip!
