Daniel donated Harry Potter crew shirt for Rebuilding Sri Lanka auction
Daniel donated his "Hogwarts crew" t-shirt from the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone film to be auctioned off on clothesagency.com (celebrity clothes auction, 10th February – 13th March) to benefit the Rebuilding Sri Lanka,  rebuildingsrilanka.org.uk fund to help those who were so horribly affected by the disastrous Tsunami. The shirt was only given out to the cast and the crew. His shirt raised eventually £520.00 after 32 bids.

Daniel Radcliffe, who has played the leading role in every 'Harry Potter' film, has signed his personal Hogwarts crew T shirt - it is the one he wore during the making of the first film, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' and is unique to the production team.

Daniel has signed the front of this T-shirt and, as they were only issued to members of the cast and crew, this is something that money cannot buy.. Unless of course you bid on it in this auction!

Huge thanks to a dear friend, Jane Porter, who was given the T-shirt and has donated it to our catalogue here.

"I first saw Dan while he was filming a scene with Alan Rickman (Snape), but I didn't have a chance to meet him then."

"I was standing literally two feet from Daniel Radcliffe himself! Dan got up, greeted us and shook our hands, but then he had to sit back down to have his make-up done. We talked for about twenty minutes straight about everything from school, to music, to sports! Once Dan's make-up was finished we all walked back to the set where he was filming with Alan Rickman, and they did the scene again. Between takes Dan would come over and talk with us."

The Libertines: "Can't Stand Me Now"
Daniel: "Brilliant. Love it. I'm a massive Libertines fan. It's not my favourite track off the album, but it's wonderful, beautiful, fantastic, and incredibly sad."

The Others: "This Is For The Poor"
Daniel: "I really like this song. However, I feel like I'm being made to feel guilty. I like to think that I'm not a typical schoolboy, and stuff, but I do feel very guilty when listening to this song. I prefer Stan Bowles 'cos it's guilt-free."

Franz Ferdinand: "Take Me Out"
Daniel: "Brilliant, fantastic, just great! When I first heard it, it didn't immediately grab me, but it's infectious. You just find yourself humming it. And the album....but it's not my favourite on the album, it's erm....erm....'Matinee'."

Keane: "Bedshaped"
Daniel: "I'm not a big Keane fan. I mean it's nice enough but it doesn't make me dance, it doesn't make me happy, and it doesn't make me sad."

Because Daniel deserves an Oscar Page contacted the Oscar organization to ask if they could make a special award trophy.  It was decided not to create a duplicate but there was a different trophy
made by R. S. Owens & Company, the company that makes the Oscar and Emmy Awards.

Dear Page,

Thank you so much to everyone at Danradcliffe.co.uk for the fantastic award which I opened on Christmas morning. I was completely surprised to receive it and was very touched by your kindness. I also thought the acceptance speech was very funny!I am having a particularly busy time at the moment - filming between Christmas and New Year and revising for important exams in January. Life is very busy but good! This is without doubt the most demanding year I have faced with filming and academic work so wish me luck! Thank you for the fantastic work Danradcliffe.co.uk does on behalf of Demelza House and thank you to everyone who contributed throughout the year to this amazing place.Page, thank you for the excellent work you continue to do on danradcliffe.co.uk. - it means a lot to me.Wherever you are in the world I hope you have a happy and peaceful New Year and to everyone who has suffered in the Tsunamis earthquake my thoughts are with you.

Best wishes,
DAN

Staff member at the Bush Theatre's annual fundraising Christmas Quiz

Variety is reporting that Daniel Radcliffe was one of the staff at the Bush Theatre's annual fundraising Christmas Quiz. He waited on tables during the event. From the article:

"As for the waitering skills of Radcliffe fils? Exemplary, though one doubts he'll need to abandon the day job any time soon."

Daniel's Christmas card
Daniel is sending out a Christmas card to fans who write to him this holiday season. The photo of him and the cast under water was taken on the last day of filming of the second task for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Read Daniel's message (as it was send to Jenna, danradcliffe.com) below and USA Today posted the following:
"We had to share oxygen tanks and get everyone positioned very quickly," he says. "Then, with a friend, I added Christmas-type additions and felt ultimately that antlers and red noses worked best."
The underwater scenes made him a scuba fan. "I would love to try it again, but perhaps in a more exotic location than a tank at Leavesden Studios."
Radcliffe began training for the underwater scenes in November 2003 while shooting The Prisoner of Azkaban. "I have never taken direction at the bottom of a tank. It was very interesting listening to the director (Mike Newell) and then responding to him with signs and signals."
