The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that Daniel Radcliffe will be playing in an All Star cricket game in California.
To add to the magic, England’s boy wizard Daniel “Harry Potter” Radcliffe will be there too.
Organisers of the highly successful Australia Week G’Day USA festival – designed to promote Australia in the US – added the celebrity cricket match to this year’s already glamour-filled schedule. The response from celebrities and cricket stars from Australia and England was phenomenal.
Organisers have been reluctant to release an official list of players signed up to play, but if the whispers around the close-knit Australian community in LA are correct, it will be an interesting day’s cricket.
A number of Harry Potter cast members have stepped up to help the Bush Theatre from a grants cut. Daniel Radcliffe, Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters, Alan Rickman, Frances de la Tour, Gemma Jones, and Miriam Margoyles have all stepped up to help.
They are among more than 150 actors and directors publicly backing the tiny west London venue’s fight against Arts Council England’s proposal to reduce its funding by £180,000.
If the cut is implemented it would “seriously diminish” the Bush’s capacity to do its work and serve audiences, the supporters say.
Dan Radcliffe and Stephen Fry have donated their old glasses to a Holocaust memorial artwork.
The display is part of Liverpool’s month of events leading up to Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27th which will be headed by Jason Isaacs who will lead a commemorative ceremony at the Philharmonic Hall. Over a thousand pairs of glasses have been collected and the public will be able to add to the other glasses before the unveiling on January 21st.
