Daniel J Radcliffe Holland supports jkrfan.com's Birthday Project: Comic Relief
Jkrfan.com e-mailed me about the Birthday Project they have been setting up for JK Rowling in order to raise money for Comic Relief. I thought this would be a great thing to support, afterall Harry Potter did start with JK Rowling. So now Daniel J Radcliffe Holland is a partner sponsor of the project.

And you can join! How? Their project has two parts:
1) Showing appreciation for Jo by sending in stories, letters, etc. 
2) Make a donation to Comic Relief!
You can submit your own made story/letter/card to them, ofcourse Harry Potter/JK Rowling related. Another goal they want to reach is raise $1.000 for Comic Relief. They have 5 months for that. The project will continue until July, then they will send the whole scrapbook with pictures to Jo.  More info at jkrowlingbirthday.com.

🠖 Red Nose Day donation account.
Comic Relief is a major charity based in the UK which strives to create a just world free from poverty - and they work 365 days a year to help that vision become a reality. Jo has supported Comic Relief in the past by donating the proceeds from her books Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages to the fund.

Daniel Radcliffe in talks for possible film adaption of "How to Succeed"

Daniel Radcliffe in talks for possible film adaption of "How to Succeed"
Daniel Radcliffe told the Daily Mail earlier this week that he and the producers of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying are currently in discussions to bring the musical to the big screen.
He mentioned in passing that there has been talk between him and producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron about doing a big-screen version of How To Succeed. But if that were to happen the book (by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert) would have to be overhauled. It works fine on stage, but for the screen someone would have to give it more zing.
And about the dancing:
‘Sometimes I was dancing for nine hours a day when I wasn’t filming,’ Daniel told me.
‘The thing was to keep practising and practising until you could do it without thinking about it. The aim was to be effortless — or to appear to seem effortless.’
‘I didn’t want the last Harry Potter film to come out and people to say: “So, what does he do now? How does he follow that?” I’m already doing it! I’ve made another film and I’m on Broadway for the second time,’ he told me, in a reference to his five-month run in Equus — a repeat of the part he’d played in the West End.
‘I’m doing this for nine months, and I did Equus for five months here and that felt like a long time. I was exhausted after that, so I have to learn to keep my energy levels up with diet and exercise.
‘The rest of the cast work tremendously hard, but I have just two big numbers — Grand Old Ivy and Brotherhood Of Man — and there’s a lot of dancing and singing. They’re exhilarating to do and I love that this is so different from everything else I’ve done. I’m not repeating myself,’ Daniel added.

Rose Hemingway talks more about Daniel Radcliffe
In another interview with broadwayworld.com, Rose Hemingway (co-star How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) also mentioned Daniel. Thanks to dr.de for the tip.

How has it been working with Daniel Radcliffe and John Larroquette?

Sadly I am not in very many scenes with John so we have not had much chance to work with each other, we have one scene with a few lines and that is all. But he is lovely. And Dan, Dan is incredible He is a wonderful person, and he has such great energy and he comes to work every day ready to get things done and to work and to learn, he's got this infectious energy around him and that is a lot of fun. We're buddies, so we have a good time.

Exclusive video: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 Blu-ray promo deleted scenes
Via EW.com, there's a video from Daniel in some deleted scenes and extra footage from Harry Potterand the Deathly Hallows part 1, the video can be viewed here.

Blu-ray extras (the ones featuring Daniel):

• ”Dan, Rupert and Emma’s Running Competition”: Director David Yates provides commentary for the “hilarious rivalry” that the three leads engaged in while filming the escape scene from the Snatchers in Swinley Forest. (This sounds even better than “Taylor Time” on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse DVD, which was what they dubbed the moments in the making-of documentary when Taylor Lautner was shown catching grapes in his mouth thrown from people like Kristen Stewart and director David Slade’s assistant from great distances.)
• “The Seven Harrys”: A look at Daniel Radcliffe’s method for recreating the personalities of the different characters for the Privet Drive scene, as well as the visual effects. (Read: Shirtless Radcliffe.)
• A plug for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter that includes footage of Radcliffe, Grint, Watson, and other cast members enjoying their first visits for the grand opening.

It will be the first red carpet movie event held in Trafalgar Square and one of the biggest film premieres seen in the capital.
