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.

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. Interview door Kristien Morato.

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.”

 Wat hij dan zoal doet

“Lego bouwen is zowat mijn ultieme bezigheid tijdens de lockdown. Het neemt veel tijd in beslag en ik vind het zelfs iets meditatief hebben… én je krijgt er op het einde ook nog eens een tof bouwwerk bij. (lacht) Erin en ik zijn fervente scrabbelaars, dus ook daar kunnen we ons uren mee zoet houden. Ik ben dankzij haar onlangs ook aan ‘Schitt’s Creek’ (op Netflix, red.) begonnen, en we hebben een lijstje samengesteld van films die we allebei nog nooit gezien hebben en graag zouden willen zien. Zo proberen we elke avond voor het slapen gaan een film te kijken. Gisteren was ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ aan de beurt en eergisteren ‘Barefoot in The Park’.”

“Ik heb al gehoord dat de corona-crisis voor spanningen kan zorgen in je relatie, maar daar hebben wij gelukkig geen last van. Erin en ik lezen samen heel veel, dus dan zit je allebei automatisch met je gedachten ergens anders. Ik heb dus helemaal niet het gevoel dat we teveel op elkaars kap zitten. Ik voel ook die drang om soms alleen te zijn helemaal niet.”

 Hij wil van zijn tijdelijke werkloosheid gebruik maken om zelf een script te schrijven

“Ik weet dat het als acteur heel cliché klinkt, maar het is al een levenslange droom van mij om het scenario van een komedie te schrijven en om de film dan zelf te regisseren. Gisteren was de eerste keer in zes weken tijd dat ik nog eens aan mijn verhaal heb gewerkt. Ik heb moeite om productief te blijven tijdens de lockdown, dus ik ben blij dat ik eindelijk opnieuw wat motivatie heb gevonden.”

En hij heeft nog geen voet buiten gezet

“Als je kinderloos bent en in een groot appartement woont, dan is dat uiteraard allemaal een stuk gemakkelijker. (lacht) Ik vind het wel nog steeds een beetje vreemd wanneer ik naar buiten kijk en ik iedereen met mondmaskers zie rondlopen. Dat is wennen. Bij mooi weer zie je dat de straten opvallend drukker zijn, maar al bij al houdt iedereen zich goed aan de regels en blijft iedereen op anderhalve meter afstand van elkaar. Het is ook mooi om te zien hoeveel bemoedigende en inspirerende boodschappen aan de ramen hangen. New York is en blijft ook tijdens deze onzekere tijden een geweldige stad om in te wonen.”
