We told you back in November, Dan Radcliffe is set to star in an upcoming Halloween episode of The Simpsons. Many of you expressed interest as to why such an announcement would be made a year in advance. Here is some insider information we received:

"Daniel will be guest starring in our annual 'Treehouse of Horror' episode which airs around Halloween. The first script delivered to our studio for this show was dated early October 2009. We began the storyboard phase shortly thereafter and continued for several weeks.

The story reel started its assembly in early November. It goes through several revisions and notes. In early December, we screened the 'animatic' reel at FOX.

After that we transition from boards to layout. We have several weeks to design the backgrounds and props, figure out the character poses and plan out the timing for animation. We then ship all our work to our overseas studio in Korea where they will take our layouts and add the in-between poses, do the clean-up, ink & paint and send it back.

This episode will be in Korea's hands for the next several months. After that there is the 'Retakes' phase where we are dealing with the color we've received from Korea and making the last changes and fixes. Then the usual post-production steps of final editing and mixing before delivery."

More pieces of the interview Dan Radcliffe conducted with MTV are now online. The Harry Potter actor discusses filming The Epilogue, who will play his daughter, the forest scene with Gary Oldman and David Thewlis, his thoughts on Twitter, gay rumors, being a role model and his possible return to Broadway.

On the forest scene:

"It was just one of those things where I'd put a lot of pressure on myself beforehand to get it right and so I wasn't able to relax and enjoy it as much as I might have done otherwise."

"Gary was brilliant at it and he was there, David Thewlis obviously has died by that point in the film, and also there was my parents played by Adrian and Geraldine were there as well."

Speaking with MTV primarily to talk about his involvement with The Trevor Project, Dan Radcliffe had a few words about wrapping up the filming of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:

"It will be very sad when it comes to a finishing," Daniel Radcliffe said of his rapidly diminishing days working on the final "Potter" film. "But it's something you have to accept."

"I did have a moment the other day, in the makeup room that I have been in for 10 years now," he revealed. "I did walk in and go, 'Wow, this is [hitting me]. One day — in about four or five months from now — I'm gonna walk in here for the last time.' Especially since, after we're done shooting, they're redoing the entire studio, tearing down and starting again."

If there are indeed four or five months of shooting left, this would meaning filming will wrap up as early as July. Filming for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows started in February 2009.

The Associated Press interviewed Dan Radcliffe this morning and the interview was broadcast just a bit ago on Livestream.

The sole topic of the interview was Dan's involvement with The Trevor Project, which we've reported on previously.

Dan spoke about how he first heard about the Trevor Project, his upcoming PSA for it, and how the program helps gay and questioning youth.

UPDATE: Killer Films got in touch with SlashFilm, who originally reported this story, and revealed that the woman who tweet'd the information is not producing the film. Therefore, this rumor is false.

Does Dan Radcliffe have his first post-Potter film all set?

The producer of the upcoming film 'The Lucky One', based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, tweeted yesterday...

Heading to Doug McGrath's script reading, starring Daniel Radcliffe

And then later...

Daniel Radcliffe and Lily Rabe were AMAZING together!

As Slashfilm points out, filming for 'The Lucky One' is set to begin in May. That's right around the time Deathly Hallows is expected to finish filming (we've heard filming should go well into June).

You can read about the book over on Amazon. As always, we'll keep you updated!

The lead actor in the Potter films will be interviewed tomorrow by AP Live. The interview will then be broadcast on Livestream at 3:30 PM ET.

While we do not know exactly what Dan will be discussing, Livestream tells us possible talking points include his involvement with How to Succeed on Broadway, his role in Equus, living in NY, and maybe even Harry Potter.

To watch the broadcast, check back to this post tomorrow (Friday) at 3:30 PM ET. You will also be able to view it on Livestream.

After the interview airs we'll let you know what he talked about!

Movieline.com has disclosed a new list of the top grossing actors of 2009. The article notes Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint all individually out-earned actor George Clooney.

On Rupert and Emma: "The young actors each took home $30 million for the two-part franchise finale Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

On Dan: "The Potter star made $40 million for Hallows. Has there been a more radically life-changing casting of an unknown? Maybe Al Pacino in The Godfather? Help me understand."

Stephen Fry, who narrated the UK Harry Potter audiobooks, received a Special Recognition Award at the 2010 National Television Awards the other night.

In tribute, several high profile actors including Potter star Dan Radcliffe participated in the video highlighting Stephen's work over his long career.

You can see the video - with Dan's part starting at 1:50 - at this link! Dan appears in several clips thereafter. You'll also see clips of Stephen narrating the audiobooks.

Thanks to Libby for the tip, and congratulations to Stephen Fry!

The Sunday Mail has a new interview with actor Daniel Radcliffe and producer David Barron. The two discuss the camping scenes shot in Scotland and how they dealt with the frigid weather in the area last week.

Producer David Barron made a snap decision not to write snow scenes into the plot. He said:

"If we had the likelihood is that by the time we filmed them, the snow would have gone. We have only lost half a day's filming because of the snow."

Instead of shooting the scheduled outdoor sequences last week, the team moved back inside the studios and completed scenes on the giant Hogwarts Great Hall set.

As he prepared to act out a dramatic scene in the battle against Voldemort, Daniel revealed that audiences can expect a change of scene when the first part of the finale is released later this year. He said:

"Part I is a road movie. We are not in Hogwarts at all and it's going to look very different, and the action is going to be pretty extraordinary."

As we reported a few weeks ago, Dan Radcliffe will be guest voicing an episode of The Simpsons later this year.

While he recorded his voiceovers for that episode, he also recorded the special video greeting below to congratulate The Simpsons on 20 years of television:

Watch it right here!

In October, Variety reported that Dan Radcliffe would be starring in the Broadway musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying". At the time, Dan was the only cast member set for the production.

Today, Broadway World is reporting that Dan participated in a table read of the musical in New York City on Monday. The reporter was very pleased with Dan's performance during the read:

First things first. Daniel Radcliffe was AMAZING. He interpreted the role in a charming, adorable and fresh way. He sang great. I think everyone was there to see if he could do it. And boy, he really did it. He was great. He came off as a full-fledged musical star. Those of us who saw him in Equus know he has the stage chops as a dramatic actor but now I can say that he could easily take Broadway by storm as a musical comedy star, too. After that final Harry Potter movie comes out, this guy can do whatever he wants in any medium. I loved him. And it seems to me that he is the youngest actor to play the role of Finch. And his youth made the show feel fresh and new. It had a new kind of innocence to contrast the cynicism of the world he is in.

We'll keep you updated on any new developments!

UPDATE: The screening has concluded! View a list of everything we learned during the screening at this link!

EDIT: It looks like there was a last minute change. Producer David Barron will be hosting with Dan instead of director David Yates.

Dan Radcliffe and David Yates are currently hosting a community screening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with those fans who are digitally attending via their Blu-Ray disc/player.

If you can't attend the screening, no worries! We'll be tweeting from a brand new Twitter account we created specifically for live events. We're using a separate Twitter account so we don't clog up your Twitter feed with messages from @MuggleNet. The box on the right side of this page displays the latest updates about the screening!

Once the screening is over we'll write up a news post with complete details.

MTV has released another article from their recent visit to the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This time we learn about Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Tom Felton's musical tastes for filming:

"Lots and lots of Radiohead. Loads of stuff. I often come back to stuff like Radiohead and Hope of the States for those harder scenes."

Based on recent, early morning experience, co-star Tom Felton confirmed Radcliffe's pre-shoot music obsession. "Daniel loves it in the makeup room," Felton said. "He thumps it out — we're talking 6 in the morning — some '60s ska/punk band. It's like, 'All right, man!' He loves it."

See that look on Dan's face? It's an expression of madness. A new interview with the lead Potter star reveals that things are crazy on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as they try to nail down the final scenes to shoot:

"It's chaos and it's fear and we're terrified we're not going to get it right, and it's absolute madness with rewrites and script changes and scripts not being written and then coming," he said with a smile. "It's just mad."

But Radcliffe and the "Potter" cast and crew have been this way before, and it all seems to work out in the end. The six films in the franchise have grossed more than $1.7 billion domestically.

"Amidst all that, something wonderful hopefully will emerge," Radcliffe said. "That's what I quite like about the film industry. Chaos bears something so cool and great and polished out into the world."

MTV also released this deleted scene from Half-Blood Prince today to coincide with the release of the DVD.

Director David Yates and the cast of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows spoke to Brazilian blog Vira-Tempo about the Half-Blood Prince Blu-Ray and DVD, filming the final movies and the characters they play.

David Yates commented on the Half-Blood Prince live community screening Dec. 12:

It’s happened before, but not on the global scale that we're going to do because obviously there are Harry Potter fans everywhere on the planet. It's on December 12th of this year and Daniel Radcliffe and I will be answering questions directly from fans via BD-Live about how we made the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and some of the things that were challenging as we made it, and some of the things that I'm sure the fans will begin to know about: Why did we leave some things out? Why did some things come in? And it will be the first time that we'll really engage with that global fan-base on a minute-by-minute basis, so it'll be really cool.

In addition, Snitch Seeker has scans from a similar interview with producer David Barron and more of the cast here.

The other day Entertainment Weekly released an exclusive photo from "One Day in the Life of Daniel Radcliffe". Now, their latest print issue includes two more photos from the book.

You can see the scan right here thanks to DanRadcliffe.com.

Part of the profits from the book will benefit the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS charity. For more information, click here.

Back in August, we told you about a new book coming this December called "One Day in the Life of Daniel Radcliffe". It includes 50 photos of Potter actor Dan Radcliffe taken on January 13th, 2009. At the time, he was living in New York to star in Equus.

Entertainment Weekly has received a sneak peek at one of the photos. From EW:

[Photographer Tim] Hailand features photos of the Harry Potter star rehearsing for his stint in the Broadway show Equus, eating his breakfast, and... stepping out of the shower.

“There are a lot of young girls that want to get close to Dan,” Hailand says, “and this is a way to get close to him.”

The BBC recently spoke to Potter stars Dan Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, who both comment on the success their Goblet of Fire co-star Robert Pattinson has had with his work on the Twilight saga. Here's what Dan had to say:

"I haven't spoken to Robert since we saw each other at the opening of a gallery three years ago," said Radcliffe. "We've been sort of exchanging advice through journalists, bizarrely."

"It is totally mad, when people are screaming and going absolutely insane for you.

"Particularly with Robert - the amount of women that would jump on him - you have to keep it in some kind of perspective, by thinking 'well, partly they like me and partly they are just attracted to the character'.

"As long as you don't think 'oh yeah, God they're all doing this - I must be absolutely fantastic'. As long as you do that, you should be all right."

Many of you have written in with word that Potter lead actor Dan Radcliffe will be lending his voice to an upcoming episode of The Simpsons. From Entertainment Weekly:

In a Twilight spoof that’s part of next fall’s “Treehouse of Horror XXI,” the Harry Potter star plays Edmund, a kid vampire whom Lisa falls for. Alas, Edmund’s father, a.k.a. Dracula, and Homer try to squash the budding romance. “Daniel was very excited to do The Simpsons,” says Jean, “and we kept trying to ask him for secrets from the upcoming Harry Potter movie until we realized that they were all in the books.”

The episode should be airing on FOX in just under a year from now. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed with the tip!

In a press conference back in 2000, producer David Heyman read a note from J.K. Rowling sharing her thoughts on the casting of Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as the trio.

WB has released a new video of the press conference to promote the Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets Ultimate Collector's editions.

"Having seen Dan Radcliffe's screen test, I don't think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry. I am also delighted to see that we're going to have a screen Ron and Hermione who can bicker as if they'd been doing it all their lives. Chris's choice of three wonderful British actors for the leading roles shows how well he understands the spirit of these books. I wish Dan, Emma, and Rupert the very best of luck, and hope they have as much fun acting the first year at Hogwarts as I had writing it," Rowling said.
