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...

'Harry Potter' actress Julie Walters to take part in fundraising performance this Sunday

According to an article in the Daily Mail, stage and film actress Julie Walters - who portrayed Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter series - will co-star with Patrick Stewart for a special fundraising performance of Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap" this Sunday, November 18th, at the St. Martin's Theatre.

St. Martin's Theatre is celebrating it's Diamond Anniversary (60th year) of Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap", which is the longest running show of any kind with over 24,000 performances. It is quite simply a great piece of theatrical history because of what it is, a whodunit written by the greatest crime writer of all time.

Christie’s grandson Mathew Prichard, who was given the rights to "The Mousetrap" for his ninth birthday, will join producer Stephen Waley-Cohen in unveiling a memorial to Dame Agatha at St Martin’s Cross. It takes the form of a giant book containing her portrait.
