Daniel Radcliffe has done a new interview where he discusses the new book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

When did you in fact get to start reading it?
I actually wrote, in the front of my book, the exact time of me starting to read it. I think it was 9:30 at night on the 22nd of July, which was the day before my [18th] birthday. I read two chapters on that day, which wasn’t very much at all, of course. About page 30, I got to. Then I actually didn’t get to read [any of] it again for another couple of days. I started again on the 24th and 25th, and over those two days or so, I seemed to completely demolish it. I read 350 pages in one day at one point.

This week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly has a tribute to Harry Potter, with a few articles (36 PAGES, as it says on the cover!) on the series. There is also an online interview with Dan, see that HERE.

So be sure to buy this issue! I will definatley be getting it. I will get scans up soon, if I find any, for those of you who aren’t where the magazine is sold so you can all see.

I got an email today about a great cause, Eco-Libris, they plant trees to replace the ones that are chopped down for paper for making books. They have decided to have a promotion type thing for Harry Potter fans:

Send us a picture of you posing with one of the books in the series to this email by following the instructions below. The first 50 people that will send us a picture will receive a special gift – the Green Wizards will plant 7 trees for each one them, in honor of the 7 books in the series, and they will receive 7 Eco-Libris stickers saying “One Tree was Planted for This Book” to be proudly displayed on their books sleeves.

Best of all, our esteemed judges will pick the best photo of all and we’ll send a free copy of the new Harry Potter, printed on 100% recycled paper, to the gifted photographer.

To Participate: Send us your full name, mailing address, and the picture as an e-mail attachment to harrypotter@ecolibris.net
