It has been reported that Daniel Radcliffe did his own stunt when his double didn’t show up for shooting.
Daniel bravely performed a daring stunt scene when his double failed to turn up. He was yanked from a burning building by a wire attached to a 100ft crane.
TV Guide has an interview with Dan where he talks about splitting Deathly Hallows into two films.
“It’s a really positive thing,” the actor told TV Guide during a call to promote Masterpiece Classic: My Boy Jack (airing April 20 on PBS). “And I think the fans will appreciate that more than had we tried to make it into one film. We’d have to cram so much in there and actually have to skip over some things. And in this seventh book, there are a lot of things you can’t afford to skip over.”
The timetable for the big finale? “When I finish the sixth film [Half-Blood Prince], which I’m shooting now, I’ll take some time off — I’m doing Equus on Broadway — and a while after that I’ll get on the Hallows films, which we’ll film as one. That will begin early-ish next year.”
Daniel Radcliffe, attended the Theatregoers’ Choice awards in London where he received two awards. One for his performance in last’s year’s London End’s showing of Equus in the DEWYNTERS London Newcomer of the Year category and his publicity shots for the play won the AKA Theatre Event of the Year. Dan said:
I’m truly delighted and thank everyone so much for voting for me. Equus is a tremendous and thought-provoking play and I’m so proud and honoured to have been a part of this incredible production.
Fiona Shaw won the award for Best Solo Performance for her performance in Happy Days. Maggie Smith won The FRANCO’S Best Actress in a Play for The Lady from Dubuque .
