Our friends at DanRadcliffe.com have kicked off a new fundraiser for the Demelza Children's Hospice Fund in celebration of Dan's 19th birthday. Each year, Dan asks his fans to donate to Demelza instead of sending him gifts. DR.com has a fun new way to do it for 2008:

Rather than just send in your wishes once you donate, we'd like you to get a little creative. Think of your favourite line from any film, or think of a line that most reminds you of Daniel. Send it in along with your name and country and be included in our Reel Love production right here for everyone to see!

Emma Watson has added a new post to her official site where she talks about the Empire awards taking place tonight. She says, "I think I'm also presenting an award which will be great! I really hope it will be a good night for Potter! Fingers crossed!"

Emma has been nominated for Best Actress, Dan Radcliffe for Best Actor, David Yates for Best Director, Nicholas Hooper (who composed the fifth film's soundtrack) for Best Soundtrack, and OOTP itself for Best Film and Best Sci-fi/Fantasy.

The awards will be broadcast tomorrow at 9 PM on ITV2.

Many of Britain's shining stars showed up for this year's BAFTAs today, among them Daniel Radcliffe and Jason Isaacs. Both Potter actors each presented an award for the event. One news report states that Radcliffe "got one of the biggest cheers of the night from the crowd." Order of the Phoenix was up for both "Special Visual Effects" and "Production Design," but lost both awards to The Golden Compass and Atonement, respectively. You can take a look at a few the pictures from the night here in the gallery.

The Food Network's Ace of Cakes will make its season premiere tonight (Thursday) at 10:30 PM EST. An uncountable amount of visitors have informed us that the premiere will feature a look at how a Hogwarts Castle cake was created for the July Order of the Phoenix LA after party.

Dan Radcliffe is expected to make a brief appearance on the program as well. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed with the tip!

Empire magazine recently caught up with actor Daniel Radcliffe to discuss his projected role in Journey, the story of Dan Eldon, a photo-journalist who was stoned to death by a mob in Mogadishu in 1993.

"There's a lot of stuff flying around about this at the moment," he said. "I am absolutely attached to it and it would be amazing to play that part. But people are making assumptions about when it's going to happen and it won't happen – if indeed it does happen – for a while yet. But basically...Eldon grew up in Africa and discovered a gift and a passion for photography. Eventually he got too caught up in something that lead to his death".

In a press release yesterday, Warner Brothers announced that their movies will be exclusively on Blu-Ray high definition discs starting in May 2008. Currently, all five Potter films are available in HD-DVD and Blu-Ray formats. All of WB's movies will continue to be released on standard DVD.

Because of WB's announcement, Sony's Blu-Ray format is dominating the high-definition market. Most major movie studios are now exclusive to it, and the competing HD-DVD format is likely to disappear soon.

Yahoo! recently released some of their year-end awards with the Harry Potter series grabbing various honors. Emma Watson came in at #3 and Dan Radcliffe at #10 on the list of the 10 Most Popular Stars of 2007.

Order of the Phoenix was named one of the 10 Most Popular Movies of 2007 claiming the #5 spot, and the trailer for the fifth Harry Potter film ranked at #4 in the category of 10 Most Popular Trailers of 2007.

Warner Brothers has released the first official picture from Half-Blood Prince, depicting Harry entering a room while clutching the Marauder's Map and a potion book.

As a reminder, our Half-Blood Prince movie section is filled with information concerning the latest filming and cast news.

Additionally, Warner Bros. has released the official description of the film:

"Fantasy Adventure. Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again."

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint were all named some of the top earning "20 under 25" stars according to Forbes magazine. Dan took the top honors for the male actors, landing the countdown at number six, racking in $15 million. Emma came in 15th with $4 million along with co-star Rupert, closely following at number 16.

The top-earning actor on the list, Harry Potter alter-ego Daniel Radcliffe, 18, earned $15 million. That's more than performers twice his age, like Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock, who earned $14 million and $10 million, respectively, made over the same period. The Potter franchise catapulted Radcliffe's co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint to the list with $4 million apiece. This summer's fifth installment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, was the second highest-grossing film of the year (edged out by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End), raking in $938 million worldwide. The trio are already filming the follow-up, Half-Blood Prince.

E! Entertainment will have a one-hour special on this countdown on Saturday, December 22nd, at 6 PM EST.

Two new articles have been released that focus on the final two films in the Harry Potter series. The first article from the Winnipeg Sun is a look at actors Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, and how they have grown up without much incident through the first six films. Producer David Heyman, director David Yates and actress Imelda Staunton all praised the trio in the interview, and Heyman credited Chris Columbus with doing an extraordinary job with initially casting them. Radcliffe also addressed just how committed he is to these films:

"So, to me, it's just about letting people know that I'm incredibly serious and passionate about this -- this series of films -- and how much they mean to me. If you've been involved in something for more than seven years now, you want to be able to talk about it articulately and explain why you love it, explain why you loved being involved in it so much."

The second article from the Edmonton Sun addresses the mood of Half-Blood Prince, and how different it will be from Deathly Hallows. Producer David Heyman said that humor in the sixth film will be "slightly warmer," but Radcliffe noted he can't wait to get to the more darker tone of the seventh and final film.

The BBC recently conducted an interview with Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe where he talked about filming Half-Blood Prince and what he thought of Deathly Hallows amongst other things. On how the sixth film is coming along:

"Really well. I've just been doing a bit of work with Jim Broadbent who plays Horace Slughorn, who's just fantastic. And we've been doing a bit of stuff with me and Rupert Grint. We haven't done any scenes with all the kids yet in the Great Hall - that's all to look forward to just after Christmas. It's glorious to be working with [director] David Yates again."

Dan acknowledged he didn't read the seventh book until about four days after it came out, so he was "walking around with his fingers in his ears." Luckily, it wasn't spoiled for him.

In an interview conducted last weekend for the release of the fifth Harry Potter DVD, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson express their feelings about Dumbledore being gay.

Check out a video of this here.

Harry Potter actor Dan Radcliffe appeared on the British television show Parkinson the other night and spoke about his upcoming film My Boy Jack, growing up with Harry Potter, and (of course) Dumbledore being gay. The video can be found in two parts on YouTube:


- Part One (focusing on My Boy Jack)
- Part Two (focusing on Harry Potter and a bit on Equus)

Our friends at DanRadcliffe.com have confirmed that the West End play, starring Potter stars Dan Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths, is coming to Broadway in September 2008. The production was rumored to move over to the United States, but some wondered if Dan would be able to do it because of his Half-Blood Prince filming schedule.

The Daily Mail also has an article on this story and notes that rehearsals are to begin in August. We'll have more news as it comes in! Thank you to those who sent in the links.

The show will be broadcast on ITV1 on Saturday at 21.30 GMT.
