In the next issue of Total Film Daniel Radcliffe discusses Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and the split of the films. They have posted a preview of the interview complete with a new photo.
Radcliffe is adamant that the book (not the longest in the Potter canon), couldn’t have been done justice in a single movie: “We could never have adapted it into one film.”
“If you come to me with a satisfactory adaptation of the seventh book into one film, then we can have this debate! All the books from The Goblet of Fire onwards were big, but with every one, you could cut swathes out without detracting from the main story.”
On why this one’s different, Radcliffe explained: “In The Deathly Hallows there are no subplots. It’s all the same story and it’s hard to lose a page.”
“If we’d have done it in one film we’d have had to reconfigure the entire story and it just wouldn’t have been an adaptation of the book.”
Hopefully when the magazine comes out someone will be able to get scans, if I have time I’m going to try to get out to buy it.
Deadline is reporting that CBS has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Daniel Radcliffe’s new film, The Woman in Black, which will be released in the UK on February 10th. There is no word yet on when it will release in the US and whether or not it will be a limited or wide release. I will post more news as it develops.

In a new interview with dot429 Daniel Radcliffe discusses celebrity involvement in charities, gay marriages and more. A snippet from the interview may be read below.
[…] his work with the Trevor Project is what he is most proud of. In fact, he is being honored by the organization this summer, as a recipient of the “Hero Award.” While he is thrilled to be recognized for his work with the organization, he is quick to point out that the real heroes are working at the call centers, providing voluntary aid and counseling. What impresses me most about Daniel is his devotion to the particular cause. He is certainly not one to support a cause simply because it is trendy, as is typical in Hollywood, and his self-awareness is refreshing. “You can be perceived as jumping on a bandwagon when it comes to some issues, not that that’s a reason to put off getting involved. If there’s something that someone in the public eye is passionate about, they should do it to highlight awareness. But you mustn’t ever put yourself on any moral high ground which is what some people are in danger of doing,”
