Artist Drew Struzan shared a tweet online regarding the artwork for Harry Potter he created. He finished artwork for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets but that one was never used. Warner Bros. went from the illustrated poster for the first film to photography-based posters for the rest of the series.

The artwork is amazing and that's why I wanted to share it here too.

Former Stunt performer David Holmes has started a podcast series named Cunning Stunts to highlight and pay tribute to the amazing work that stunt coordinators and performers do whilst on set. Back in 2009, at the age of 25 David was left paralysed after an accident on set whilst rehearsing a stunt for the final movie. He was the stunt double for Daniel in the Harry Potter series.

One quick note, the voice you will hear occasionally is Dan Radcliffe, one of my best friends and acting double on the Harry Potter films. He’s been sitting in on some of these interviews.

Escape from Pretoria has been released straight on Video on Demand in Australia because of the coronavirus pandemic. Universal Pictures announced that the film is available to rent at home on Apple TV, Fetch, Foxtel, Google Play, PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store now, 22nd May 2020.

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Kimmy vs. The Music: A Live singing contest (as announced) was broadcast on Netflix's YouTube yesterday, 14th May. That was at 2am for me in Holland.

A select few of the entries made it to the final round to arrive before the panel of judges (the cast and producers: Ellie Kemper, Tituss Burgess, Jane Krakowski, Daniel Radcliffe, Tina Freaking Fey and more) over video because of the coronavirus pandemic. It was followed by a Q&A.

They raised funds for crisistextline.org at the same time.

Bustle - How Kimmy and Frederick met

The Wrap - Daniel wants you to play it through as if you’re “the worst human being possible.”

“We shot a lot of dead ends and bad endings,” Radcliffe told TheWrap. “But basically, [creators Robert Carlock and Tina Fey] laid out that they were going to have these paths and they diverge based on what wedding dress you pick for Kimmy. But after that it kind of goes down to the choices you think the characters should make as moral, good people. That’s why I think a perfect way to play it through a couple of times is to play it once as if you are the worst human being possible and want to make us do terrible things and make terrible things happen to us and see how far you get like that. And then play it through once making every kind of moral, model answer. And that should get you to the two main endings.”

“The idea the audience will be punished and rerouted when they make the characters do things they know they shouldn’t is such a weird, playful idea. I cannot begin to imagine how you write something like this, unless you had loads of time to think about it. But I’m so glad they did and I got to come in and play around.”

Kimmy and Frederick a perfect fit

“They are like weirdly linked imaginatively,” Radcliffe told us of Kimmy and Fredrick. “I love the idea that Fredrick is the only other person that can see and talk to Jan the Backpack. They had very, very different upbringings, but there are things about them that make sense.”

Inquirer - Coronavirus: On what he is watching while self-isolating

“The thing that has been bringing me most to tears of joy has been ‘Schitt’s Creek’ on Netflix. It’s just joyous, particularly the first two seasons are great. But from Season 3 onward, I was basically crying at the end of every episode.”

In response to our question, Daniel replied, “If I had a magic wand, it’s a pretty obvious answer to say that I would just rid the world of coronavirus.”

Entertainment Tonight (ET) - Daniel has no worries about making a few jokes at their expense.

“They’re busy enough without having to worry about what impression I’m leaving of them on a Netflix special,” he says. “Coming from England, I’m somebody who as much as I don’t dislike any of the royals, I don’t have any, you know, antipathy towards them or feel strongly personally about any of them.” 

“I feel like it is quite ripe pickings for comedy in there,” he muses, adding that Prince Frederick was a “fun role to play.”

“Hopefully that’s one of the things that’ll be cool for people who are watching.To go down the different routes and experiment with controlling what ends up happening.”

At the beginning of April, J.K. Rowling introduced (together with Audible, Bloomsbury, OverDrive, Pottermore Publishing and Scholastic) Harry Potter At Home to help children, parents, carers and teachers add a touch of Harry Potter magic to our new daily lives having to stay home and deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

Today they have announced that they have famous faces and friends who each take turns reading chapters from the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (that's Sorcerer's Stone for the US). And (what a surprise!) they kick off Chapter One: ‘The Boy Who Lived’ with a very familiair face.

Het Laatste Nieuws (HLN) uit België sprak met Daniel via Skype over de coronavirus lockdown in New York. Over Lego bouwen en meer. Interview door Kristien Morato. Lees meer op hln.be.

Of hij na zes weken quarantaine nog niet stilaan tegen de muren begint op te lopen

“Als er één ding is dat ik van deze pandemie heb geleerd, dan is het wel dat ik perfect 23 uur per dag op mijn appartement kan zitten”

“Ik heb absoluut niks te klagen, want nu krijg ik Erin eindelijk nog eens voor lange tijd te zien. We hebben ook nog eens het ‘geluk’ dat we geen kinderen hebben, zodat we geen oppas hoeven te spelen of les moeten geven. Het feit dat we geen verantwoordelijkheden hebben, maakt een wereld van verschil.”
