WB supports Daniel
As of late, many British tabloids have falsely reported that Warner Bros. is displeased with Daniel Radcliffe's decision to perform in the play Equus. A WB spokesperson has in response to these claims issued the following statement:

"Daniel Radcliffe is an extremely talented actor, as well as a great collaborator and friend to Warner Bros. Pictures. We've had great experiences working with him on our films and fully support him in the artistic choices he makes as an actor."

In related news, here are some photos of Daniel signing autographs following Friday night's performance. Thanks, WENN.

wonderful. Daniel Radcliffe is so great and im getting really tired of people saying that he made a mistake and that he almost destroyed the harry potter films just because i choose to play in Equus .. that's just bullshit !


Posted by bspice Feb 18th 2007

I am glad they acceopted him. Top 5


Posted by nearly_headless_nick Feb 18th 2007

Well done WB, this should shup up those big liars.


Posted by christianaeg Feb 18th 2007

why would they even print that lol???


Posted by HP_fan81 Feb 18th 2007

I was truly worried when I heard that WB was threathening to replace Dan as Harry Potter just because he is in Equus. Ok, I know I can't trust everything I read, but I did. So I am more than happy that WB sent this press release to let the world know that they support Dan! So a big THANK YOU to WB! Dan is a great actor and they would do a very bad mistake if they replaced Dan as Harry Potter.


Posted by wildone Feb 18th 2007

Well, it is Dan's choice.


Posted by x3_kingl Feb 18th 2007

THANK YOU WB!!!! I knew they couldnt fire him the movies would not be the same (obviously) but you know what i mean :]] yay daniel!!


Posted by Quidditchgirl24 Feb 18th 2007

He is one lucky little boy!!!


Posted by skates Feb 18th 2007

My mom told me that WB might actually be considering replacing Dan as Harry because of what he does in the play. I didn't believe her, but I must admit I was a little nervous lol....ANyway, glad to know that WB supports Dan like they should!!


Posted by Luna_sees_thestrals Feb 18th 2007

Laura Mallory put them up to it!!!!! top 15?


Posted by polkadots_7 Feb 18th 2007

well, they have to support him. If they don't they're probably going to have to find a new harry, and all the danfans will be in an uproar. and they'res a LOT of danfans.


Posted by smellysocks Feb 18th 2007

Lets just leave it at that! :)


Posted by Harriet_Lily_Snape Feb 18th 2007

I'm glad they respect his choices. Now will everyone get off of Dan's back about this?! He's an adult!


Posted by cheeringcharm Feb 18th 2007

I knew those rumors had to be bunk. Dan is becoming a very good actor and his role in Equus is only going to make him better. I'm sure WB will want to work with him for the remainder of the HP films and other movies in the future. They also know that if they had to re-cast him, the HP movies would lose a lot of money. They're not stupid...excpet for that crazy stuff that went on with Gary Oldman. Good for Dan. I can't wait to see how he improves with the next three films.


Posted by braders101 Feb 18th 2007

I am from Britain. And i have not seen any of this News. But if it is true, which is likly it is. As i only get the sun, and there are SOOO many more tabloids out there, then well i think thats bullsh*t. Who cares if Warner Bros. dont support him. It aint up to them is it. Its up to Daniel. And if he wants to do it... THEN GOOD 4 HIM!!!


Posted by braders101 Feb 18th 2007

I am of course Glad that WB does support them.. dont get wrong idea.. but even soo.. if they didnt who cares... It shudnt be up to them to replace Daniel coz he wanted to do somthing different.. that would be shitty. BUT YA FOR WB FOR SUPPORTING IM


Posted by Harry_is_our_King Feb 18th 2007

Yay! Go Dan and go WB!


Posted by Moaning_Myrtle Feb 18th 2007

Good. because if WB didn't support Daniel through his Equus carrier.... then it would just go to show.. well... something...~MM


Posted by Quiscalus Feb 18th 2007

That's great.


Posted by polish Feb 18th 2007

that's great. WB should give us more pictures. haha.


Posted by mugglecastrocks Feb 18th 2007

thats great for Daniel and WB and stuff. but even if they didn't support him there are millions of other people out there who do!! *cough*likethiswholewebsi te*cough*


Posted by quidditchplayer Feb 18th 2007

It's awesome Dan took the time to sign autographs, I'm sure he was very tired after the play finished, it's a very exhausting role. So it's says many of good thigs of him that he attended them.


Posted by LadyM Feb 18th 2007

That's really good;-) GO DAN AND WB!!


Posted by Kittycat Feb 18th 2007

i thought the pictures that we saw of Dan signing autographs were awful because they were water marked disgustingly.


Posted by HPluver13 Feb 18th 2007

cool. GO DAN! you can do whatever you want; i'll still support you!


Posted by horsetrek Feb 18th 2007

OMG in the pictures of Daniel signing autographs it hardly even looks like him.He is kinda unrecognizable but maybe thats why cause he is getting older.DAN YOU ROCK MY SOCKS.


Posted by SiriuslyHP Feb 18th 2007

wow in those photos he looks so old... lol. i'm glad that WB supports him and publically made sure that it was known.


Posted by TherealMrsRadcliffe Feb 18th 2007

what is with the hat?


Posted by Janeykins Feb 18th 2007

weee i got my tickets last night


Posted by Silver_Shivers Feb 18th 2007

good for him!


Posted by Deathly_Hallows07 Feb 18th 2007

I think WB SHOULD support him, I mean Dan has made WB billions of dollars for each movie, so theres is no reason that WB shouldn't support him.


Posted by polish Feb 18th 2007

agree with Kittycat! i was about to say that! they're awful.


Posted by Quidditchgirl24 Feb 18th 2007

I love it how people said that WB SHOULD support him. LOL who are we talking about Brad Pitt or the kid who should be kissing the ground that the WB walks on because he wouldn't have a career without them. I think that the WB should have canned him. Just because he has gotten too cocky. I think its funny when he starts demanding that JRK kill Harry Potter in the 7th book. Who does he think he is? Even if JKR doesn't kill Harry Potter off, he still will be doing the 7th movie and keeping his mouth shut like a good little boy because thats all he got.


Posted by weaslebee Feb 18th 2007

I honestly don't see a reason why Dan shouldn't be supported. What he is doing is not "wrong" or "disgusting". He's an actor, and I find it hard to believe that he is the first to ever play such a role (even at his age). I would have to raise my eyebrows if WB said that they did not stand behind him. It's not up to WB or anyone else to judge. It simply is what it is.


Posted by aussie_hpfan Feb 18th 2007

Quidditchgirl24, we all know you are a Dan's hater, so do you really think we care about your biased opinion? you should get a life. Dan was already an actor before the HP movies, so you can not say if he would have had a career or not, he already had one. And he doesn't demand anything, don't invent things, he is always very down to earth, he just gives his opinion when he is asked. He is a HP fan like us and he has his theories like us, that's all. Yes, WB should thank him because he is giving them a lot of free publicity, and like publicists say all publiticy is good publicity. He works 11 months every year to make the HP movies possible, he's worked for everything that he owns. You are just a basher, without no life, that try to say negative things in all the newsupdates about him, which makes your opinion worthless, you don't even base your comments in true facts.

This kid put it best: http://youtube.com /watch?v=WxAJ1QxsprM


Posted by Quidditchgirl24 Feb 18th 2007

LOL!!! Well dear so is your comment because you are a Dan lover!!!!


Posted by hpyayi Feb 18th 2007

congratulations daniel for Equus and thank you WB for the praising.... but when will we get our much awaited trailer?


Posted by Quidditchgirl24 Feb 18th 2007

thats funny that you call my opinion a "biased opinion". Go reread your comment then tell me who got the "biased opinion". As far it not being true facts, it all over in internet that "He WANTS JRK to kill Harry Potter. Thats doesn't sound a theory, that sound like a demand. I find all VERY funny. But I find the fans girls more funny.


Posted by cheeringcharm Feb 18th 2007

How is that a demand? In the words of Stan Shunpike, you are out of your tree.


Posted by Edward88Italy Feb 18th 2007

"Daniel Radcliffe is an extremely talented actor"...oh please, WB, why are you telling lies to yourself??


Posted by nearly_headless_nick Feb 18th 2007

No Edward88Italy, the question is why are you telling lies to yourself?Everyone who has saw Dan in the theatre agree he is brilliant, accept it.


Posted by aussie_hpfan Feb 18th 2007

Unlike yours my comment was based in true facts: 1) he was an actor before HP 2) he works 11 months for each movie 3) he has just given an opinion like all of us do everyday here, it's not a demand. So I'm not biased. What you are talking about is just a stupid headline of a sensationalistic article. If you actually read the article, the words they quote from Dan are not really those, they quote one of Dan's last interviews where he was asked what he thought will happend with Harry, and he explained his theory like we do here. Inform yourself better before believe stupid articles, like the ones who talked about WB.


Posted by Edward88Italy Feb 18th 2007

Mmmm dear 'nearly_headless_nick', I was not talking about his performance (bad or good I really do not know it) in 'Equus'. In fact WB was talking about his performances in the HP movies, too. This is what I do not understand at all. Yeah, WB just can't say that one of his actors is a bad one, but call Daniel "an extremely talented actor" is exaggerated. This is the reason because of I made a rethorical question to WB in which I asked "him" not to tell lies to "him"self. In my opinion Dan is anything but an ex... ... ...actor. Other people are really talented actor. Again IMO, Dan is a good young actor who has still a lot to learn (about acting, obviously). Good evening, I'm gonna leave my home to go out to a my friend's home. I know, my business, just to tell you I'm not gonna answer you tonight. Bye! (Sorry for any mistake)


Posted by polish Feb 18th 2007

come on people! please grow up. its so freaking annoying to find that people just post stupid comments to make people angry or to get a little attention. darn! you want me to call your daddy or mommy and tell them you have a HUGE lack of attention because you have nothing better to do than THIS. go to, i dont know - weallhatedanradcliffe.com and post there ok?


Posted by cheeringcharm Feb 18th 2007

Personally, I think Dan is very talented. He has some bad moments, but I believe he is getting better with every film. Equus is really going to help him with his trade. I think we will see a radical difference in Dan when HBP comes out.


Posted by nearly_headless_nick Feb 18th 2007

Edward88Italy, they don't say they are talking specifically about HP movies. Anyway Daniel has done 2 movies and a play since the last time you saw him (because I suposse you saw GoF) so you don't really know how he is now. Knowing how he improves with every new proyect he does, I am not surprised they can call him an extremely good actor. And after all it's an opinion, you shouldn't talk like your opinion is a fact and they know less than you. They have seen OotP, they think December Boys is so good that they bought it to distribute it in the USA, and I'm sure they have already seen him in Equus, so yes I think they know more than us. Have fun with your friends!
