Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Dan will be lending his voice to an episode of The Simpsons, due to air next autumn. Executive producer Al Jean tells EW the Harry Potter star plays Edmund, a kid vampire whom Lisa falls for. Alas, Edmund’s father, a.k.a. 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.”

Now, no being mean to Twlilight, in comments - they are a teeny, tiny film franchise, and we are bigger than that.

While I am here: it's that time again... Dan is up for Hello Magazine's Most Attractive Man - Weekly Vote. He is behind some pretty stiff competition for the week, and the week's winner faces something of a challenge from November's other weekly winners.

But go here and vote as often as the site and your conscience allow.

Thanks Frenchi, Barbara, radcakesfan and Jen for the links.

Jennia  - Voting for Dan, of course!   |24.58.23.124 |2009-11-20 11:36:36 I want to thank you for linking us up to the Hello Magazine contest. According to the comments I just read, I see Dan has been in and out of 1st place, but as of my look-see, he is in 1st again. The one thing I didn't like about the way the magazine set up the voting is the photo they chose to post to represent Dan. If they had chosen any of the photos that Jenna put on the new header above, I think he would get more votes from regular voters, who might not be a fanatical as we are about our very handsome Dan. I'm going to vote as many times as I can! Reply 2   0

lilyginny27   |140.146.84.238 |2009-11-19 09:50:38 I think my favorite episode of The Simpsons is the one w/ JK Rowling telling Lisa that Harry Potter grows up to marry her. How apropos is it that Dan will be playing her boyfriend in an episode? Reply 3   0

Frenchi   |Registered |2009-11-19 05:30:43 Hey, what happened?! I've been reading these wonderful posts about Dan being in the lead and then I take a look at the poll and that dad-gum Mark whatsimadoodle is now past him 402 points! Those fans are cheating, huh! Well, it was fun making them sweat, wasn't it?! And now the game is back on us making us sweat again! Let's bond together and make these buggers sweat even harder. Let's have our man give them the run for the money. We can get Dan up there in 1st place again ... c'mon gang, let's do it! Reply 2   0

lauren   |2009-11-19 18:12:53 I am rather chuffed for Mark - he has had such a wonderful year - the tour was spectacular, the DVD is almost out, they were stupendous at the Albert Hall - and he got married last week! Reply 0   0

danilo   |Registered |2009-11-19 20:40:16 Sorry to differ, but on this I can not compromise. As far as I'm concerned, everyone associated with a boy band on the planet can choke on their inevitably massive banality. I'd stake each and every one through the throat to the hard, prairie earth in the path of a roaring combine harvester. Death to boy bands. Reply 2   0

danilo   |Registered |2009-11-18 21:25:14 Dan's a beautiful boy and all that, but I don't see him being much competition for Lisa's affections, up against studs like Ralph, Milhouse and Nelson. Reply 3   1

Mariela  - Awesome!   |99.2.218.142 |2009-11-18 17:15:48 Awesome! Daniel recoring his voice!I am going to see this episode of the Simpson! Reply 0   0

Christina   |205.149.72.96 |2009-11-18 16:51:51 YES! Finally! I've been waiting for this for years. (I actually made up my own Simpsons plotline for him, but this one is much better.) I'm sure he'll be brilliant. Reply 2   0

Star   |68.224.186.25 |2009-11-18 16:36:29 Oh, by the way--Dan's only fifty votes behind Johnny Depp now. Get busy, Dan Fans!!! Reply 3   0

Star   |68.224.186.25 |2009-11-18 16:34:07 The only problem with Dan being on The Simpsons is we have to wait nearly an entire YEAR! I've been humming the theme song to The Simpsons ever since I first heard about this. Reply 2   0

Ginny22   |69.229.110.232 |2009-11-19 22:19:33 OMG... me too! It's a very catchy theme song too... And yes! I does suck that we would have to wait for a year to see the episode, but, I think it will be worth it. Reply 0   0

JoJo   |76.3.161.225 |2009-11-18 16:13:28 Saw the news about Dan doing the Simpsons show on Leaky Cauldron today. How cool is that? The Simpsons are such an American icon. I'll bet Dan was exposed to a lot of great American TV when he was living in NY for Equus. I remember him mentioning Monster Quest which being the quick study, he saw right through. Reply 0   0

Wow, this is the highlight of my day- Whoop! It better be true! If so- wwwwwaaa I can't wait a year to see it!! D'oh!! Reply 0   0

Frenchi   |Registered |2009-11-18 11:09:50 Oh my God! This is fantastic! I'm so very happy for him, bless his heart! I believe he's been wanting to do this for quite some time now and it's finally, finally happening for him! And what better way than to go in with a bang and do a "Twilight" spoof! Good, good, good for him! *cheers* His very first cartoon voice! Can't wait! Reply 2   0

Anonymous   |94.22.118.25 |2009-11-18 10:11:38 I am sure Dan will really enjoy lending his role to a vampire in Simpsons! I too wonder if they have already done it. But if it will air next fall, then may be not. He will probably do it in the spring, may be? He has said many years that he loves Simpsons. Reply 1   0

jain   |78.144.22.184 |2009-11-18 09:54:26 i don't normaly vote for these pols, but a) our man isn't going to lose out to a vampire and b) he can't lose out to Mark owen!!!!!!!!! I don't which is the worst option. So vote people vote Reply 1   0

alejandra(argentina)   |190.50.236.213 |2009-11-18 09:43:36 YESSSS !!!! I am so happy . When an actor is in that show is becouse he is one of the best... ( we all kmow that than is one of the best) Reply 0   0

jain   |78.144.22.184 |2009-11-18 09:30:12 also, have they recorded it already? The way the announcement reads makes that unclear. Reply 0   0

jain   |78.144.22.184 |2009-11-18 09:28:53 great news, i always felt it was a bit poor of them not including him before now. And yes, since when did that vampire film become a 'mega' hit? Does Harry's constant appearence in the top 20 films of all time count for nothng againt twilights positon of 152?. Reply 0   0

panda  - Oh man!   |76.23.20.192 |2009-11-18 09:22:48 I'm so excited for Dan on the Simpsons! That's awesome!! How did I know that a Twilight actor was going to be on that poll for Hello Mag. Besides Dan, there is only one other actor I would vote for, and it's not Lautner. Man!!! To choose between the two hottest guys on there....its tough! But I voted for Dan, of course! Reply 0   0

Jeannine   |Registered |2009-11-18 09:09:33 Wish we had a jumping up and down smiley!!! It is about time ....he said he wanted to be on this for years . SOOOOOOO glad they finally asked him!!
