Reminder: Daniel Radcliffe's 19th Birthday Project
Posted by jenna on 20/07/08

We have three more days to go before Daniel's birthday. Please help us wish him a happy birthday by participating in our Reel Love Birthday Project & fund-raiser for Demelza!

The project is quite simple: after sending in your donation to the Demelza Children's Hospice, think of your favorite line from any film, or think of a line that most reminds you of Daniel, and forward it along with your name and country to be included in our Reel Love production right here for everyone to see (don't forget to tell me what movie the line is from)! Each "screen" will represent fans in various countries all over the world. Your line will scroll, along with your name and country, within its regional section.

Remember - any amount is welcome, whether one pound or twenty - all contributions help the children of Demelza. There is no such thing as a small donation.

When donating please e-mail your world pay receipt to me (Jenna), and don't forget to select Daniel Radcliffe as your source when you send your donation online. To find out more about donating, visit our How You Can Help page. If you already know what to do, go DONATE NOW!!!

For more details, check out the Birthday Page today!

Our new site will be live, along with the birthday project page, on July 23rd. Everything will be completely different, but I will post up a "user guide" once we go live so no worries. Thank you very much for your patience and support!

New HBP Article in Studio Magazine France
Posted by coralie on 20/07/08

There is a new article on Studio Magazine France's website about their visit to Leavesden Studios during the filming of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and, aside from the usual awe at the site of the amazingly detailed sets, the reporter had this to say about Dan

quote:
"But even more surprising is Daniel Radcliffe. Any teenager would have gone mad when blessed with so much money and fame. Not him. Simple, down to earth, he's even one of the only ones who still appreciates the enclosed atmosphere at Leavesden Studios, where he sometimes spends up to 6 months in a row. On the set, he adds nuance to the part of Harry. He emphasizes the cold by stuffing his hands in his pockets. For the next take, he favours the feeling of impatience by moving his legs. The director nods, smiling. It's like he was on a mission, like his character. And what if it was the key of the success of the Harry Potter movie saga: three Heaven-sent teenagers who bring legendary written characters to life."
Un grand merci to Sassy for the tip and the translation. Enjoy!

Posted by coralie on 17/07/08

One of Dan's favourite actors, Gary Oldman, was recently interviewed by E!'s Ben Lyons while promoting The Dark Knight, and in the course of the interview the conversation changed directions and allowed Gary the opportunity to lavishly praise Dan for his 'down to earth' qualities.

Daniel Radcliffe: Screen to Broadway Stage
Posted by lauren on 14/07/08

Well, all systems are go in New York!

The New York Times presents the staff-moderated series at The TimesCenter.

"Daniel Radcliffe: Screen to Broadway Stage" will take place Aug. 19 from 6:30-8 PM. Tickets are currently available through the TimesTalks website here.

quote:
"From the boy wizard in the "Harry Potter" films and Rudyard Kipling's ill-fated son in the TV drama "My Boy Jack," to the disturbed teenager in the London and Broadway revivals of Peter Schaffer’s play "Equus," Daniel Radcliffe is an actor of diverse talents. Hear him discuss his Broadway debut in the drama, which starts previews on September 5, and also how he’s been able to move from screen to stage so seamlessly."
And there is a rather nice photograph with this Playbill article, and you can see it here.

Spectacular West End Figures + Dan on VH1 and Hospital Club Lists
Posted by coralie on 10/07/08

According to the BBC News and to this article in the Telegraph, London's West End theatre productions enjoyed record-breaking audience figures last year

quote:
"Although musicals dominated the West End, attendance figures for plays were also healthy, boosted by some star names - Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe in Equus proved a particularly strong draw."
We, at DanRadcliffe.com, feel that Dan's faithful fans from around the world (in other words, you!) contributed greatly to those spectacular figures by showing steadfast support for Dan throughout the run of the play and that our very own Lauren deserves a special mention for seeing Equus no less than... I lost count, but I think it was close to 124,000 times, give or take a few performances! toung.gif

Many thanks to Radcakesfan for the links!

Also, thanks to Niki and Samara for the news that Dan is on VH1's list of Hottest Hunks Under 25, and to Radcakesfan for confirming that Dan is now officially ranked 16th on the Hospital Club 100 list.

More HQ HBP Photos
Posted by coralie on 08/07/08

We have a few more fabulous HQ Half-Blood Prince photos featuring Dan as Harry to share with you today, courtesy of Warner Bros. These are larger versions of the pictures that have been popping up in various magazines lately. Enjoy!

Harry and McGonagall, Sombre Harry, Harry with assorted Gryffindors, Harry and Slughorn, Dan, Rupert, Bonnie and David Yates

I've been trying (but failing quite miserably) to keep a straight face after being confronted with the HQ version of Ron's Quidditch helmet; I... I... Bwahahaha... Sorry *snork*... It's just me, I know, I'm sorry! It's a great helmet! I now wonder (with just a small frisson of apprehension) whether Harry has one too but is just too polite to wear it to the breakfast table! toung.gif

The Truth According to Gary Oldman
Posted by coralie on 04/07/08

There is a funny little article over at E! Online in which we learn how Gary Oldman added a little bit of blue to Dan's rose-colored glasses toung.gif

quote:
"[Daniel] called me up to say that [Deathly Hallows] was going to be in two parts," Oldman said. "'It's just so dense, so much material, that's why,' he says.

"And I said, 'Uh, no, Daniel. That's not the reason why. Cha-ching!' And he was a little crushed. He said ‘Oh, yeah. I see what you mean.'

See? Sirius Black really was a Death Eater after all."
Many thanks to radcakesfan for the tip and the laugh!
