    There is a new article with Daniel Radcliffe online at the New York Daily News.

He’s currently filming the series’ grand finale, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” – which is being made as two separate films. “It’ll be quite sad and interesting to say goodbye to people who have become my best friends,” says Radcliffe. “But the exciting part is now I’ll be out in the big, wide world and doing different things.”

(but as we know, they are filming Half-Blood Prince, not Deathly Hallows)

“I don’t need to go to a massive party to have a great time,” says Radcliffe, who speaks quickly and has a droll sense of humor. “I would much rather hang out with friends and watch a movie. Compared to how a lot of the younger actors in America have chosen to live, I lead a very, very dull life.”

My Boy Jack had it’s US premiere on PBS this past Sunday, I am so sorry I forgot to remind you all, I forgot myself. But you can buy it on Amazon.com now for $16.99.

EA Games announced today that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince video game release will coincide with that of the HBP movie. The game will be released on Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, PSP, DS, PC, mac and mobile devices.

We believe that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince video game represents a milestone in the movie tie-in genre. Building on the technological advancements of previous games in the series and with a particular focus on the unique control system of Nintendo’s Wii, the team here is working closely with the filmmakers to create an immersive interactive experience that captures the story, the action, the excitement and, above all, the fun of the film.

The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie will be released released on November 21, 2008.
