Warner Bros has released two clips from the Harry Potter Ultimate Collector’s Editions DVDs for Chamber of Secrets and Sorcerer’s Stone. First is a clip (second one) from the Sorcerer’s Stone DVD where Chris Columbus talks about casting Rupert and Emma! Next is an extended scene from Chamber of Secrets; the scene is when Harry and Ron find the Kwikspell letter for Filch.
Dan Radcliffe has recorded the narration for the 2010 Holocaust Memorial Day short film, The Legacy of Hope. Daniel Radcliffe said,
When I was approached to narrate this short film, The Legacy of Hope, I felt very privileged. I felt that in a very small way I was contributing to the remembrance of these tragic and horrendous events, whilst also commemorating all those people who refused to let the horrors they had lived through dictate the tone of the rest of their lives.

Home Media Magazine is reporting that for “the Dec. 8 Blu-ray Disc release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be the first to include a worldwide live community screening with audio, featuring actor Daniel Radcliffe and director David Yates.”
“It’s a wonderful way for fans and for those directly involved with making a film to share opinions and ideas,” Radcliffe said of the Dec. 12 community screening, which Blu-ray owners will be able to access via BD Live at noon PST.
The screening will be open to the first 100,000 fans who sign up and respond to an emailed invitation to the event. Those fans will be able to ask questions live of Radcliffe and Yates, who will respond live from London.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be invited to host the first worldwide live community screening and to have the opportunity to talk directly to fans across the globe,” Yates said.
