Dan Radcliffe speaks at New York TimesTalk
Dan Radcliffe speaks at New York TimesTalk Back in mid-July we told you that Dan would appear at TimesTalk in NYC to promote and discuss his upcoming performance in Equus.

A staff member of Snitch Seeker was present at the event and took lots of notes from what Dan had to say. In their report, we learn a lot about Equus and some information concerning Half-Blood Prince.

The most timely thing learned about Half-Blood Prince was a comment from Dan on the delay, which he says he found out about only 24 hours before everyone else. He also asked everyone to not blame him for the delay.

Read the full report here!

Good some news about something other than Alan Horn..


Posted by riddleisourking Aug 19th 2008

Course it's not Dan's fault for the delay. It's Emma's! Just kidding!


Posted by hermie1958 Aug 19th 2008

Good one! I wonder why we haven't heard about the kiss with Ginny?


Posted by kzellner Aug 19th 2008

Well, we're getting information at least so thats good, but it's still saddening!!!!


Posted by ApplaudtheActor Aug 19th 2008

Man- I didn't put much stock in him until recently (as an actor or otherwise), but Danis very poised. It makes me happy, you know? I'm okay with him being Harry... finally (Only, what, seven years late?).


Posted by pacifickay Aug 19th 2008

Awwww! As if anybody would blame Dan for The Delay! ...And if anyone has, I will personally smack them myself.


Posted by czarfore Aug 19th 2008

Put a stake in WB's heart and boycott The Watchmen! Dan should have expressed strong solidarity with the fans! Its not as if WB can fire him from the last two movies.


Posted by PotterGurl08 Aug 19th 2008

We know it's not Dan's fault. Nobody's to blame but WB...


Posted by MaybeDavey Aug 20th 2008

AMAZING INTERVIEW!! thanx snitch seaker!! Davey p.s. Emma did sign right??


Posted by avadakedavratheWB Aug 20th 2008

OMG!!!! czarfore I was just seeking the same thing !!! I just got the comic before the delay news because of all the fuss, and I love it, and I was like, this is gonna be huge and WB is expecting huge profits for this movie. We should so boycott Watchmen, but most of the fans are like 40 years old still living at home with mom. lol


Posted by megblack89 Aug 20th 2008

great interview. dan is pretty wonderful, it was nice to hear all those personal things. I cant believe emma nearly didn't sign, can you imagine no emma for the DH?! And even if WB did delay the movie because of Equs then its not thats Dans fault! we dont blame you D.


Posted by Mattrixed Aug 20th 2008

You guys are incredibly arrogant and obnoxious to be calling for a boycott of Watchmen just because WB moved the HBP release date. I'm actually in the middle of reading Watchmen right now for the first time, and I like it a lot. As for avadakedavratheWB's comment "most of the fans are like 40 years old still living at home with mom." well that's obviously not true, and is an extremely ignorant thing to say. Stop acting like a bunch of jack@sses and grow up.


Posted by yertletheturtleq Aug 20th 2008

I would never think it was Dan's fault for the delay & I think it's horrible for WB to even say that they have an issue with him appearing nude in a play. He was in the play last year when Order of the Phoenix came out so what's the big deal? They are just trying to blame someone else because they screwed up. WB stinks


Posted by Mattrixed Aug 20th 2008

yertletheturtleq: WB never said they had an issue with Dan appearing nude in a play. Did you even read the article?

Posted by i_am_nagini_777 Aug 20th 2008

of course he's not going to lash out against the studio, it's kind of a no-brainer. yertletheturtleq, i don't know where you're getting your news from, but it's certainly not the news i've been seeing on mugglenet.


Posted by fanatic Aug 20th 2008

We don't blame Dan (or any of the other actors), we blame the greedy WB.


Posted by elish95 Aug 20th 2008

ooh. who'd blame Dan?! he roxx! if any1z 2 blame itz WB! da hel wid thm. . .


Posted by Magic_Dust Aug 20th 2008

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF DAN, EMMA AND RUPERT COULD HAVE MADE A STAND AND STUCK UP FOR THEIR LOYAL FANS, WHAT ARE WB GOING TO DO? FIRE THEM HAA. BUT I WOULD NEVER BLAME THEM FOR THIS. WB ARE THE ONLY ONES TO BLAME


Posted by SiriusFan Aug 20th 2008

Why would we blame Dan? If its because of the Equus thing then he has no need to worry. In my opinion if the role in Equus was going to affect the Harry Potter fandom it should have affected it when Equus opened in London. I respect Daniel for making the decision to play Alan Strang. It shows that hes not just "Harry Potter" but he can be anyone! Well done Daniel! To Hermie1958- theyre going to ruin the wow factor of the kiss between Harry and Ginny. BOO TO WB!!


Posted by Vicki209 Aug 20th 2008

It's wrong of WB not to quash that stupid rumour about Dan immediately. Although i suppose it helps to deflect the heat from them. Dispicable. No one can blame the actors, its becasue of WB's greed that the film got delayed. I do think we should boycott their other films. It's not jus the delay of HP but the whole principle we should stand against. These huge corporations should learn not to bite the hand that feeds them!!!


Posted by SofieMalfoy Aug 20th 2008

HAHAHAHA! it's hilarious. First on the Alan Horn statement, everyone is all like "BURN girl BURN!" and on Dan it's more like "naaw! of course we don't blame wittle Hawwyyy." :'D Why would we blame him? he's done nothing but being an awesome Harry for us. :> It would be funny if we found out that Daniel was the one who had completely caused the delay, like threathened WB that if they didn't delay it, he would go all crazy!Harry!POA and say "Ni" over and over again. Those of you who've seen monty python the holy grail will understand at least. hehu


Posted by sweetpea831 Aug 20th 2008

I wouldn't blame you for anything Dan!!


Posted by the_shrieking_snack Aug 20th 2008

Dude! we don't blame YOU! awwww, don't think that!


Posted by Siriusly_HP Aug 20th 2008

We'd never blame you Dan! Or Rupert and Emma for that matter.


Posted by bvalle Aug 20th 2008

I wish there was a way we could tell him we don't blame him. I hope he gets the message.


Posted by addicted2chocolatenhp Aug 20th 2008

oOo nice stubble I might get to see equus (so excited)! Dan Radcliffe is soo smart, and yet he thinks that we all get our news from Fox :P instead of Mugglenet! nobody blames you, dan!


Posted by chommy Aug 20th 2008

Who would blame Dan? He was probably as shocked as us. Niiiice interview!


Posted by Maccii Aug 20th 2008

Yes, at least it's something good! A new interview with Dan (or any other actor - I'd like one with Evanna or Emma) is never wrong :)


Posted by rooon Aug 20th 2008

What can I say???? HOOOOOOOOOTTTT!!!!!!!!!! : )


Posted by bellaxslytherin Aug 20th 2008

awww nobody would blame dan for the delay, we knw its not his fault. ITS WB >=(!!!!!!!!! oh and btw, OMG HE IS HOT (dan of course)


Posted by iluvron Aug 20th 2008

omg dan totally not r fault...really hott picture of him too (;


Posted by Kid_A Aug 20th 2008

Who would blame him? He's just an actor who gets paid to play in the movie.


Posted by Rose37 Aug 20th 2008

NO-ONE IS TO BE BLAMED, BUT WB!!!


Posted by irishfanaticwhobelievessnapeisgood Aug 20th 2008

Nope Dan I dont blame you at all, no one should, like everyones saying its Warner brothers fault! Great interview, would love to see equus, and I hope they do do that scene in DH film with Sirius, James, Lily and Lupin in the forest, they cant possibly leave it out!!!!


Posted by hpintwense06 Aug 20th 2008

I don't blame Dan! Or any of the actors, for that matter. We all know who is really behind this movie delay. I kind of feel bad that Dan actually thinks people are actually blaming him! The real fans know not to, at least.


Posted by Janey Aug 20th 2008

WTF?! They were originally going to shoot HP in LA!?


Posted by alexxx Aug 20th 2008

aww no one would blame dan! or any of the actors. we love them


Posted by Ashelby Aug 20th 2008

Ohh, Dan is so nice! I love him to bits (I mean that as in "I wish he was my brother" - not the other kind of sick infatuation some people seem to have with him). As if anyone would blame him (or any of the cast for that matter). It's hardly their fault that Warner Brothers are a pack of selfish greedy bastards.


Posted by cryokinetic92 Aug 20th 2008

WE SHOULD TOTALLY BOYCOTT WATCHMEN BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE PUSHED IT BACK 3 MONTHS FROM MARCH RATHER THEN MOVE HARRY POTTER 8 MONTHS FROM NOVEMBER I MEAN THEY WOULD BOTH BE GOOD SUMMER BLOCK BUSTERS SO Y NOT MOVE WATCHMEN INSTEAD!


Posted by Hedwig8 Aug 20th 2008

You can't help but love this guy! Of course we don't blame him for the delay. I can't wait to see him in Equus in November. I know he will be absolutely brilliant!


Posted by darkmysticphoenix2008 Aug 20th 2008

Its great to see that the Harry Potter experience has helped both Dan and Emma mature into wonderful individuals and I sincerely hope all of the up and coming actors {dan and emma especially] have excellent careers ahead of them. Dan is such a wonderful guy . And those who think that his being in equus will harm the films really need to take another look because dan is mature enough to be doing both and not have a ego as big as the sky. Good luck Dan rock on


Posted by nkk_kiara Aug 21st 2008

Why blame Dan? He has no part in this. Its all Warner Brothers fault anyways.....


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Aug 22nd 2008

That was a good interview. I don't think anyone blamed Dan. It wasn't his choice to change the date.


Posted by trueligth Aug 22nd 2008

It will be wrong to blame the actors and actresses only because the movie is delay or is more than they (producers) plan to make. If we have to blame someone is .... I do not know but some has to be blame.

“Vaguely,” said Harry, grinning up at him. “Didn’t you smash down the front door, give Dudley a pig’s tail, and tell me I was a wizard?”
