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.”

Natalia Tena who plays Nymphadora Tonks in Harry Potter will be attending Collectormania Glasgow in Scotland on August 29th and 30th at Braehead Arena at the Braehead Shopping Centre. It costs £5 to attend the event.

Thanks for the tip SS!

ABC has posted a new video interview with Rupert Grint where he talks about Half-Blood Prince and more!  I can’t watch the video so I will just use ICM’s description:

Rupert discusses the portrayal of teenage romance and the contrast between light and dark elements in the movie, as well as typecasting and the advantages of working with such greats as Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith. The interviewer also mentions that Rupert has other movies coming out later that take Rupert out of his comfort zone!

Thanks ICM!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince won the Choice Summer Movie Action Adventure category at this year’s Teen Choice Awards!  The show will air tonight at 8PM EST, we don’t know if any of the HP cast or crew attended to accept the award, so we will find out tonight, but most likely they did not attend.

Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory in Goblet of Fire), won several Teen Choice Awards for his work in Twilight.

I will post videos as soon as they are online.

EvannaLynchFans recently had the opportunity to interview Evanna and they have now posted that interview online!

5- which part of Deathly Hallows are you most excited about seeing turned into film?
I imagine everyone will say this-the walk through the woods and Platform nine and three quarters. It was such an experience to read, such a catharsis, I remember reading it for the first time and I felt like I could hardly keep up with my own eyes rushing across the pages. It will be so exciting to see how they translate that experience onto film, to see what someone else made of it. And of course the Lovegood house!! I have seen it being made from scratch and been in it and all around it and it is absolutely beautiful, much more vivid and detailed and alive than anything I could ever dream up even while reading the books. I hope they give it good screen time, it truly deserves it. I’m so excited just to see Mr.Lovegood in action. Luna has always been so different and jarring to those around her, it will be so nice to see someone with the same energy and hear his lines, you can’t beat the Lovegoods for unpredictability.

2- What are some of the quotes on your bedroom walls?
Only the best! The ones that have really affected me. There’s ‘To the well organised mind death is but the next great adventure’, ‘it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live’, ‘I am not worried Harry, I am with you’, ‘Dumbledores (wo)man through and through’, ‘Give her hell from us, Peeves’, ‘Did I tell you I’ve invented a broomstick that’ll reach Jupiter’, ‘Don’t worry you’re just as sane as I am’, ‘I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts…but you cannot deny, he’s got style’, ‘NEVER-INSULT-ALBUS-DUMBLEDORE-IN-FRONT-OF-ME!’. Bit of a Dumbledorist need I mention? I am tired of my room though. It gives me a headache and as you can see it was designed before the beauty and perfection of Deathly Hallows graced our lives! I’m going to give it a makeover any day now. I think a DUmbledore mural is in order.

According to a fan that attended Muggle Mayhem, a Harry Potter convention, Joshua Herdman confirmed that Jamie Waylett will not reprise his role as Vincent Crabbe for Deathly Hallows.   Joshua also stated that Gregory Goyle will die instead in the film.

Thanks SS!
