Half-Blood Prince Promos

Deathly Hallows Filming

Daniel Radcliffe has recently made a donation to the Trevor Project helpline. It helps lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth who are suffering through crisis and suicide issues.

“I am very pleased to begin my support of The Trevor Project, which saves lives every day through its critical work,” said Daniel Radcliffe. “It’s extremely distressing to consider that in 2009 suicide is a top three killer of young people, and it’s truly devastating to learn that LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers. I deeply hope my support can raise the organization’s visibility so even more despondent youth become aware of The Trevor Helpline’s highly trained counselors and Trevor’s many other resources. It’s vitally important that young people understand they are not alone and, perhaps even more important, that their young lives have real value.”

There are 2 new interviews online, one with Rupert and the other with Emma.

Rupert did an interview with Reelz Channel (who I must say are very nice since meeting them at the premiere) and you can watch that here at their site!  Bonnie is also interviewed during the clip.

Emma did an interview with Heart FM and you can listen to the audio, here at youtube!

UPDATE: Heart FM also interviewed Rupert and Daniel as well! (use the links on their names to listen)

Thanks to RG.net for letting me know about the interviews they had with Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, David Yates, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, Jessie Cave, Evanna Lynch, and Matt Lewis.

I was looking around IMDB and found this on the news page…

Daniel Radcliffe is planning to make magic happen from behind the camera when he finishes filming the Harry Potter franchise – by becoming a director.

The 20 year old star is close to completing his time as the boy wizard, with the cast currently shooting the final part of the big screen phenomenon, set for release as in 2011.

Although Radcliffe has moviemakers clamouring to sign him up to star in new projects, the young Brit is ready to become an auteur in his own right, according to Britain’s The Sun newspaper.

He is so intent on embarking on a career as a director, he even persuaded Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ producer David Barron to let him helm one of the film’s scenes.

A source tells the publication, “Daniel has told friends he is looking for a project to direct when he finally waves goodbye to Hogwarts. He has been approached by a number of producers.

“He wants to direct something gritty and hard-hitting. David has been giving him guidance on how to reach his goal.”

It’s one of those beloved rites of passage all youngsters cherish and look forward to – the ditching of the school uniform. It doesn’t matter how much you tart it up – allowing girls to wear trousers, no tie, etc. – school uniforms aren’t designed as cool teenage wear, just ask Daniel Radcliffe. The 19-year-old actor has been wearing one as cinematic alter-ego Harry Potter for years and as the sixth movie, The Half-Blood Prince, hits cinemas today, he’s dishing the dirt on the Hogwarts dress.

“One of the worst things to be wearing while trying to chat up a girl is a school uniform,” reveals the young star who as Harry romanced Cho Chang (Katie Leung) in Order of the Phoenix and might be looking to get friendly with Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright), the younger sister of best mate, Ron (Rupert Grint) in The Half-Blood Prince. “You look like a kid! You’re not going to score dressed like that.”

Thankfully for Dan, Harry won’t be dressed like that for much longer as the final two instalments of the Harry Potter franchise, The Deathly Hallows: Parts I and II see the boy wizard leave Hogwarts and its uniform and he’s glad the ordeal is over. “I was like “Burn it!” I was hoping they’d throw them on a giant bonfire. Oh my God, to be done with that uniform and those shoes, that was an exciting day.”

Co-star Grint clearly felt differently, keeping one of Ron’s neck-ties as a souvenir, but with the action moving away from the school room, it invites the question: what exciting street clothes can we expect from Harry in The Deathly Hallows? Unfortunately, we won’t find out until it’s released in November 2010, dammit!
