There hasn’t been too much going on with Dan despite his off time. But we have had several photos from The Kumars come up which I posted you can find those in the gallery along with a couple of pics that I found. I started working on something different over the holidays and I didn’t know what I was gonna end up with but people liked it and so I made a short guide on how you can do it yourself. You can download it in our special projects section or right down below. You can also see a reversal of this on my Dane DeHaan site.
[wpfilebase tag=file id=6 tpl=download-button /]I made a wallpaper featuring the five men I have worked on all year. Dan has kept me really busy this year. And I have really enjoyed all the wonderful people I met this year. So i wanna wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Join us in 2014, for news on Frankenstein, Gold and Tokyo Vice also for the F Word and Horns.

I recently added 1249 captures of Episode 4 of A Young Doctor’s Notebook and other stories. On Top of that I also made a new community on VK. I was sort of getting tired of facebook groups so I moved it to VK instead. You can visit us at vk.com/simplydanielradcliffe, any posts made through it will be redirected to our twitter. Most of our latest updates have been posted on our facebook page. Frankenstein has stopped filming currently until the new year. Dan’s also donated some stuff to the screen actor’s guild auction stuff from Potter and Kill Your Darlings.
1213 Captures from Episode 2 of A young doctor’s notebook and other stories. Preview for the next episode can be viewed here. Captures from Cineworld Magazine were donated thanks to Amy D. And new audio interviews from Bafta Guru and BBC Radio 5: Simon Mayo. Also the Kill Your Darlings soundtrack will be available December 10th
Kill Your Darlings is released on December 6 in the UK and in the meantime the KYD Cut Up exhibition will be projected around London. Having launched at Waterloo, the exhibition is expected to go on to Shoreditch, Soho and Camden. I have added pictures to the gallery from the Exhibition and a few other updates to it as well.
This morning we had The Guardian show us the photo shoot they had of him smoking. Dan talks about about smoking, his musical tastes and the embarrassment of being a millionaire. Daniel also reveals that he has created ‘the Michael Fassbender test’ for his acting career.

Today was the KYD Cut Up Exhibition, with that going. We also had A Young Doctor’s Notebook and Other Stories episode 1 come out today. Also this weekend pick up your Issue of the Guardian, in a recent online excerpt: “I don’t have Twitter and I don’t have Facebook and I think that makes things a lot easier. Because if you go on Twitter and tell everybody what you’re doing moment to moment and then claim you want a private life, then no one is going to take that request seriously.”
Here’s a recent online interview about Social Media and Dan’s warning to celebs. Daniel Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan explain how you could win tickets to an exclusive preview of Kill Your Darlings with the #KYDcutUP exhibition. Follow @KYDFilmUK. Dan also did a recent photocall for the exhibition and an interview on ITV which you can see a preview image above..
New stuff for today, I finished working on a concept poster for Frankenstein. It was a bit challenging cause this was my first time drawing Dan’s hair so if it looks a bit off. I tried. There’s a new video today where Dan asked Andy Cohen what he invented? Video Introduction from Dan for the Cork Film Festival for Kill Your Darlings which is the last film that is closing with the Cork Film Festival. Cinedays Film Festival for Macedonia opened today for Kill Your Darlings. And Dan will be appearing On Graham Norton December 6 possibly to talk about the opening of Kill Your Darlings for the UK which is on December 6.

And The New Yorker features Kill Your Darlings in their issue, you can preview that, here.- The New Yorker.com
When seeing Kill Your Darlings, I already knew what to expect having read the script, but not knowing what was cut and how it played out was my curiosity. When I watched it, I realized I had for the most part seen the entire movie (youtube movie clips) except for the parts i didn’t get to see and I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone. But I really loved it. Dan and Dane’s acting was almost like watching two friends have a very good time together. It was really rather enjoying to watch that.
The scenes everyone is talking about The library scene was quite interesting to see. It played out just like the script, but Dan’s face in that moment when he sees Lucien was centralized and what I mean by that is that he was fixated on him with a stare that kind of reminded you that even though this was going on I really wish it was you. The rather funny thing in that scene was afterwards for those that watched it you know what I am talking about.
The movie did have a sort of comedic feeling to it cause some parts did make you laugh. And there was scenes that were rather cute in it too. I really enjoyed this movie and want to see it again. The gay sex scene that everyone has been talking about was not really bad. I actually found it kinda romantic, because Allen wanted Lucien so bad. He wanted to be loved even if it meant a substitute. Some strong points in the movie did make you think at times.
It made me think what if there was no Lucien, would there ever be a Ginsberg and what about the others had Lucien not brought them all together what would have become of them. It really made you think. Least for me it did.
A quote, I loved from the movie was “First Thought, Best Thought.” And the whole thing about dying so you can be reborn was a very interesting segment. Rather funny too.
I guess I should end this before I post spoilers. But if you get a chance please do see it. Radcliffe and DeHaan gave an absolutely awesome performance and I really hope sometime in the future they do something together again.
I’ve been doing a lot of screen captures for Kill Your Darlings below is a list of what I have done so far. I also added a few more stills from Kill Your Darlings and today we had one new clip out from Notorious Pictures. The video was entitled The Dean, which I will capture that very soon you can view it at DeHaan Media…

Fragmentary Digestion of the Self
Radcliffe’s in a new film called Kill Your Darlings with some of Hollywood’s hottest young glitterati, who portray the likes of Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, and Lucien Carr. His energy and the real Kerouac’s infatuation with “the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live” are clearly congruous, and I immediately take a liking to the guy, finding his post-matinee-performance fervor nothing short of incandescent. I begin to tell him about my teenage meeting with the real Ginsberg.

Thanks to Adair, she made us a brand new layout for our fan fiction section. So thanks to her for making us a new one.
I also added several new media for you to see at Radcliffemedia. So there is a few goodies for you there as well as our playlist so make sure you check that out as well. I’ve been doing a few things around the site and updated the career section. The Horns Page has been slightly updated with one link and I’ve added a Frankenstein page as well. The gallery is going in for some alterations so it will be back soon.
Since the ending of the Cripple of Inishmaan, it has almost for me been non-stop keeping up to date with Mr. Radcliffe. When it came to Venice, I had a very good friend help me with most of the content we got for the site and for keeping us up to date. So I would like to thank her for all that she did. Thank you, so much for the help. As for Toronto. this year not only did I have Dan to do but also Dane DeHaan and James McAvoy. So it was triple the work for me. We got a pretty good amount of stuff for you view – articles to read and videos for you to see as well.
I uploaded several video’s to radcliffemedia and we were also sent a KYD Press Kit. The poster, Trailer HD and a few stills. Which I will be making trailer captures for you soon.
Synopsis
KILL YOUR DARLINGS is the previously untold story of murder that brought together a young Allen Ginsberg (Daniel Radcliffe), Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) and William Burroughs (Ben Foster) at Columbia University in 1944, providing the spark that would lead to their Beat Revolution. This is the true story of friendship and murder that led to the birth of an entire generation.
KILL YOUR DARLINGS – In Theaters October 16, 2013!

I worked on changing our gallery just a bit in the Film Festival’s section I ordered it by categories and put the albums into their correct places. I also released some old photos you may not have seen before so you’ll notice those with the asterisk on the album name.
All Venice albums are located in their category and as for video’s you can preview the ones we got on our Youtube playlist the newest ones from Venice are from 63-69.
For those of you who loved the graphics I did, it was a pleasure. Recently I deactivated my profile off Deviant art, cause I still have more to learn. i am glad that most of you read my guide on Colorizing Dan since then a lot of people have gotten better and I am very proud that I could help you guys improve on that. But I am done making graphics on dan you guys don’t really need me anymore. If I was an inspiration to you, it was a pleasure. You probably won’t see anything new for quite a while. I hope to come back someday and if I don’t I wish you well on your creations. on that note I leave you with a graphic I made for a fan fiction story called Spin the Bottle where Sam (Dan) was in Italy.

It’s been awhile since Daniel Radcliffe, who turns 24 today, has played the Boy Who Lived in the well known Harry Potter series, and ever since he has been determined to break out of his wizardly type-casting. Although Radcliffe can never expect to fully disassociate himself from the movies based on J.K. Rowling’s best-selling novels, it appears he does intend to prove his skills beyond the films he starred in beginning when he was just eleven years old. So far, he seems to be succeeding.
Following the release of the final Harry Potter film, Daniel immediately jumped into his next film, The Woman in Black (2012). The Woman in Black, which had modest success in theaters, was a dark turn from a naive wizard; Radcliffe played a young lawyer who happens upon a child-murdering ghost.
First a lawyer, then a doctor: after Woman in Black, Radcliffe returned to his home country in order to take part in the short U.K.-based television series, A Young Doctor’s Notebook in which he plays a doctor placed in Muryovo, Russia at the dawn of the 1917 Russian Revolution. The series did well, becoming Sky Arts channel’s most watched show with 800,000 viewers and, just yesterday, was confirmed for a second season. Radcliffe is mesmerizing in the role, often conversing with his older self and questioning the crude and gory medical practices he must perform. U.S. fans of Daniel won’t miss out – the four-episode first season is set to premiere this summer on Ovation.
Radcliffe has another film set to release later this year as well. In Kill Your Darlings, Daniel will play poet Allen Ginsberg, who finds himself entangled in a murder during his college years, along with his friends and fellow Beat generation writers William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. The film has already created quite the buzz, particularly since Daniel is expected to partake in controversial gay scenes, following in the footsteps of greats such as Heath Ledger. Expect Kill Your Darlings to be worth the ten dollar movie ticket; the film was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and has garnered rave reviews from critics.
Radcliffe has also been spotted on set of the movie Horns, expected to release later this year. The movie is yet another with a gloomy plot: Daniel plays Ig Perrish, a young man accused of raping and murdering his girlfriend who wakes up one morning to discover he has horns, which empower him with supernatural abilities.
Radcliffe has been busy on stage as well, appearing in plays such as Equus (2007), where he appeared nude, the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (2011) and most recently playing a crippled orphan determined to escape poverty The Cripple of Inishmaan, which opened in June. Daniel had initially received criticism for his appearance in Equus, where he played a mentally unstable boy who sexualizes horses. Critics feared the role would destroy Radcliffe’s family-friendly image, but Radcliffe still forged ahead, choosing continually riskier roles as each year passed, and fears about his public image and career suffering from his choices have proved unfounded.
It appears that in the relatively short time since the Harry Potter series ended, Daniel has almost completely reconstructed his reputation as an actor. Choosing serious, and often difficult-to-play roles has resulted in the emergence of an actor that will be around for quite some time. Although the young wizard Harry Potter will never truly be out of our hearts or minds, Radcliffe should have little fear of being typecast or confined by the previous popular role.
Still, don’t expect to bring children along to see a Radcliffe movie anytime soon; word on the street is that his next role choice might be Igor in a film based on the horror story Frankenstein. If Daniel’s recent trend is any evidence, the film is unlikely to be PG13.

All of us at SDR, would like to wish Daniel a very happy birthday. We created an online book project as well as a video. Since we got everything done and its the 23rd in London. I am posting everything today, the people that participated agreed so here’s our project.

Yesterday Kill Your Darlings had a preview at the Giffoni Film Festival. The website Notorious Pictures has released Dan’s video message he said to fans yesterday. You can watch it down below.
It’s been a big weekend for some of SDR’s most dedicated members they were kind enough to send in video and photos for us. Thank you to Michele and Debbie. Michele sent us 27 Stage door photos and Debbie sent in 1 video of Dan exiting the theatre. Both have been posted in our gallery and radcliffemedia.
On the birthday project, which has drove me a bit up the wall is coming out rather well. I showed a few close friends a rough preview and did some final touches on our online book. Everything I worked on can be previewed on Tuesday. I am hoping everything comes out well and that everyone will like it.

Hey everyone! Katie Leung, who played Harry’s love interest in The Goblet of Fire, will be starring in the new short film Sun Never Sets. The short is currently in pre-production and filmmakers Daniel and Ateh Jewel are raising funds through Kickstarter. They are encouraging everyone to contribute and if you decide to participate you can receive props from the set, a copy of the script and/or tickets to a cast and crew screening. They are aiming to raise £25,000 by 1 September 2013 and production is planned to begin this autumn. I’ve included a synopsis below and links to the Kickstarter and Facebook pages:
Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/81903521/sun-never-sets-sci-fi-film-set-in-the-near-future?ref=live
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sun-Never-Sets/164270243752988
Synopsis:
Sun Never Sets is set in the near future where China has become the undisputed world power and the West is in disarray. Now, the tired and hungry people of Europe are fleeing to the great cities of China to seek a new life as economic migrants. Against this backdrop, a Chinese-born Englishman named HEDGES has decided to turn his back on the tide of history by taking his adopted daughter KATIE to a small abandoned island downstream from Shanghai, where his British ancestors used to trade to China from in the nineteenth century.
He has rebooted the abandoned island and staffed it with illegal English immigrants to China, creating his own world as if the British Empire had never fallen. The island is off the grid and has no electricity or running water. The small community living under Hedges use gas lamps, so it’s as if they are living a British version of an Amish village. One day a wealthy English family, who have started a successful new life in Shanghai, crash their boat on the shores of the island. Hedges and Katie are forced to take them into their community. The arrival of the family sparks off something in Katie – who has always wondered what life might be like away from the island. She spends her evenings gazing at the neon haze of Shanghai, which she can see through her grimy bedroom window. Katie can see how at ease the family are with life in Shanghai; they speak fluent Mandarin and are fully accepted into Chinese society, and this leads her to question everything Hedges has told her about the modern world. This brings her into conflict with Hedges, especially when the young son of the family, TOM, offers to take her back to Shanghai with them. In the climax of the film, Katie is pressured to make life-changing choices, which ultimately reveal the dark history of the British Empire in China and Hedges’s ancestors involvement in the Opium Wars.
Thanks to Adair Bartley for making us a new layout for the fan fiction section. She’s the best. I really didn’t have the time to make one, so I appreciate all that she did. Thank you so very much.
We’ve been asked to help with a fundraiser for a Sun Never Sets. Daniel Jewel, who is directing a new short film starring Katie Leung (Cho Chang) this autumn.

Our birthday project ends in two days. We already received several entries and am almost partially done with creating all the individual graphics for it. This week for the ones that participated I will be sending them preview of what they contributed and what the final out come of everything we put together looks like. For those that participated they will receive their personalized graphics in full res and get a early preview of the final outcome once everything is complete

Thanks to a friend of mine in Italy she told me the following info on KYD.
Yesterday, in Riccione there was a Film Festival, and they presented the KYD Trailer (I saw you have a screencap on Facebook). Here’s everything that was explained by Italian Distributor Notorious Pictures
KYD will be out in Italy with the title “Giovani Ribelli” on September the 26th, three weeks before the USA. It will also been screened at the Giffoni Film Festival over the summer AND more importantly … they can’t confirm it 100 %, but they basically hinted a Venice Film Festival Premiere. I SO hope Dan will be able to attend that Festival, Venice is HUGE and here we talk about it a lot, as you can imagine. Best. Wake. Up. Ever.
The Notorius Pictures representative is quoted in the article as saying: “It’ll be at an important Film Festival between the end of August and the beginning of September …” which for us equals Venice, but it’s early for confirmation.
So I said I would have this for you today, took me a while to write it and rather than making it a tutorial. I thought I would make it more of guide. So the people who are interested you can just read the pdf. I created on it. I also wanted to point out which image was downloaded 35,000 times which I did not list in the PDF. This was an earlier version so its not the best but I was amazed it was downloaded that many times.

We got one week till deadline for the Daniel Radcliffe Birthday Project.I made a sort of sample that will be in the actual video we are gonna do. As a reminder, each person that participates will receive their own quote and or poem with graphics designed by me. But you will only receive them after the project is done. I used mine as a sample each design is designed differently.
Our cars can sometimes feel like members of our family. Especially one’s that we’ve been driving for years. But if they can remind us of people then which celebrities would these cars resemble? MoneySupermarket have matched Justin Bieber up with the Audi TT (due to his stylish but ever so slightly annoying nature), Kim Kardashian with the Renault Megane (curvy behind)and George Clooney with an Aston Martin (classy and expensive), but who have they paired Daniel Radcliffe with?
Well, as you can see from the graphic below, his four wheeled counterpart is a Mini Cooper! Just like the Mini, Daniel burst on to the scene when he was a lot smaller, but still remains loved by millions despite being older and bigger!
What do you think about the matches? Which car would you compare him to? If you’d like to see the full infographic with a whole range of celebrity and car matches then you can see it here.
Today on Andrew Marr, Dan did an interview which featured pieces of the play he is currently involved in called The Cripple of Inishmaan. As he does press for Cripple, there’s more coming his interview on Capital Radio comes this Monday as well as from someone who mention on twitter that Press Night is coming on Tuesday for The Cripple of Inishmaan.
A throng of fans wait for Daniel Radcliffe at the stage door of the Noel Coward Theatre, hoping to snatch a quick photo of him or get an autograph.
They’ve been watching him and his cast mates in Martin McDonagh’s merciless black comedy The Cripple Of Inishmaan, a show full of bellyaches and heartache.
I found it funnier than when I first saw it 17 years ago.
It’s the third play in the inaugural season of the Michael Grandage Company, set up by Grandage (the former Donmar Theatre artistic director) and executive producer James Bierman.
The season started with Privates On Parade, followed by Peter And Alice. After Inishmaan comes A Midsummer Night’s Dream in September, and Henry V in November — starring Jude Law.
Director Grandage is thrilled with Radcliffe, and when I mentioned Sarah Greene (pictured with Daniel) — who plays the acerbic egg-breaker Helen — he went all giddy.
‘She’s going to be an absolute white hot talent!’ he exclaimed.
He’s right, too; but the entire company works beautifully.
Grandage and Bierman are pleased they have established a youth company, training posts for up-and-coming directors and designers, plus free shows for schools from disadvantaged areas.
The biggest hit, though, was the release of 100,000 tickets for £10 each, many of them snapped up by first-time theatre-goers.

We’ve been asked to promote the Purge, just what is The Purge? The story goes as follows:
If, on one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would you do?
In an America wracked with crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity–including murder–becomes legal. The police can’t be called. Hospitals suspend help. It’s twelve hours when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this particular night in 2022, plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking.
When an intruder breaks into James Sandin’s (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown, he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear his family apart. Now, it is up to James, his wife, Mary (Lena Headey), and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide.
The question is… Would You #SurviveTheNight? Take the quiz to find out! Warn your friends The Purge is coming!

Your probably wondering what this is. i was thinking about what you guys request sometimes and I didn’t want to make another section so I made a facebook group for things you ask for. This will partially be our download center. I already added one file, in time more stuff will be added to it. So you can join if you want the address is located here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/130169787184757/
Here’s what each section means on our site:
RadcliffePhotos– Our photo section
RadcliffeMedia – Our video archive
SDR News Center – Our news center for the most important news
SDR Fan Fiction – Our Fan Fiction story section
SDR Fan Center – Our social media section for Facebook and Tumblr fans
Facebook– Our public page
Google Plus – Our image enriched version of facebook which features video and images
It’s been a blast with the members of SDR, you guys are so very supportive and you’ve given me a lot more than I can ever imagine. So a few months ago, I thought what can I do in return. While browsing through the social media scene which is sort of a daily ritual for me with facebook and tumblr. I thought why not create some place where fans can take things I made and post them on their facebook and tumblr pages. So you ask what is the fan center?
The fan center is a place for fans to send in their questions about any topic regarding (SDR) the site which I have already posted some I get every day and have to answer the same question over and over. So you can read what’s going on to a problem you are having. I also created some banners, icons, and side images for tumblr and facebook. Because I have been working so much on my other sites recently time didn’t give me much to make a lot so I did what I could with the set date I given myself. Your free to use the images on whatever you want. The custom designs section is a bit on hold cause i am still working on that section, but it will be put out as soon as its done. In time, new things will show up on there. So what you see is not all there will be. I’ve been working on it for several weeks now.
I made two new wallpapers for you which you can pick up at the fan center. ENJOY!!!

There’s a new photo shoot featuring Dan at the Noel C. Theatre via camerapress which display a 36 piece set by Andrew Crowley and coming next week on BBC Radio 1
I just posted the new scans from Vogue June issue featuring Daniel Radcliffe in costume as Cripple Billy from the play The Cripple of Inishmaan.
Today Dan appeared for the recording on the Graham Norton show, here’s the first two pics. The show should premiere tomorrow for the UK and a week later for the US.
Yesterday EOne posted a brochure for movies I assume are going to Cannes. The long awaited movie F Word with Zoe Kazan and Daniel Radcliffe appeared in the Brochure with a new image and a new tagline. I posted the new image in our gallery. Down below you can see the movies that will be in Cannes 2013
Daniel Radcliffe is set to star in Tokyo Vice, a thriller that music video and commercials director Anthony Mandler will direct from a script by playwright JT Rogers. Le Grisbi Productions’ John Lesher and Adam Kassan are producing, and production will start early 2014. Radcliffe will play American reporter Jake Adelstein who, while working at the Yomiuri Shinbun newspaper in Tokyo, covered the crime beat and locked horns with yakuza boss Tadamasa Goto, called the “John Gotti of Japan. The film is based on Adelstein’s memoir detailing how the journalist’s investigating and finally exposing the notorious gangster exacted a high personal cost and sacrifice which included death threats. Adelstein, who will be working with Rogers on the story, is still an investigative reporter who writes for The Daily Beast, The Japan Times, The Atlantic Wire, and is an adviser to Polaris Japan, a non-profit group that combats human trafficking. His second book, The Last Yakuza, will be published next year by Pantheon.
Since graduating from Hogwarts and the Harry Potter series, Radcliffe has been busy. He followed The Woman In Black and Sundance pic Kill Your Darlings with the recently wrapped horror film Horns, the romantic comedy The F Word, and he has just signed on to star in Frankenstein for Fox and Davis Entertainment. Radcliffe this June returns to the West End stage in Martin McDonagh’s The Cripple Of Inishmaan.

New video has come out for the Cripple of Inishmaan as Dan rehearses for the play. He did some promotional work yesterday which was made for this teaser. I assume we should expect a lot more coming from the MGC. I absolutely cannot wait.

My dear friend, Thomas Sailer has finally got his book translated into English via Ebook. We mentioned last time about his book which was in German but now English readers have a chance to read it. SDR which was formerly Sparkling Illusions became part of Thomas’s DA Network way back when we were still a Harry Potter website. I loved the idea and it was a very good thing to build on. It was kinda sad when things didn’t work out, but I never forgot Thomas and happy he didn’t forget me either. I wish you success on your book, Thomas!!!
Enchanted in a book
Thomas Sailer was an active member of the Harry Potter fan-community. Now, he has written an experience report about it.
Grosshoeflein. Thomas Sailer is visibly taken by the wizard’s apprentice Harry Potter. With his book “Chronik eines Harry Potter Fans”, the author became a talking point on various internet-sources. “Although the Chronicles had been released in German language, there were reports in America and Asia also”, tells the author proudly.
Experience report put down on paper
Now, in March, the Chronicles will be translated into English. Everything started back in 2004. “The Harry Potter phenomenon had a massive, inspiring effect on me. For some years, I had been an active member of the fandom”, tells the Harry Potter fan. And exactly about these experiences and the work in the fan community, Thomas Sailer writes in his book. In summer of 2007, he started to work on the manuscript. Again and again, the work got interrupted. In the meantime, the Grosshofleinian published two novels – “Der Freizeitpionier” and “Die Wuestenpflanze”. Just at the turn of the year 2011/12, he continued working on the Chronicles. “Within a few weeks, I completed the book. All in all, I put around 4 months of work into it”, informs Sailer. Also in future, he wants to continue writing. “Further books are already planned”, says the Harry Potter fan, who, apart from writing, likes to listen to music and to travel.
Massive fan. Thomas Sailer is proud of his most recent opus, which gets translated into English now. In his book, he reports about his work as an active member of the Harry Potter fan-community.
BooksandWands.com has done an interview with Thomas on the book and you can hear what he has to say about it on youtube.

Paul Bernard, a documentary cameraman working for Warner Bros. Has an ebook out called Adventures in Movies which is available on Amazon and Kobo. He worked on the set and has given us a chance to show you just a bit about it.
Here’s an extract from Paul Bernard’s ebook ‘Adventures in Movies’ regarding Dan and Emma and tons more.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: Leavesden Studios – 2008
Dan’s time was utilized with military precision from hours in education to floor runners waiting to whisk him the length of the studio in a golf cart when everything was ready to shoot a scene. He would stride swiftly on to set, met by Gary (props), the keeper of the hallowed Potter glasses who would hand him a pair, having decided if they should have glass in the frames or no glass (because of reflections), shoot about six takes then back on the golf buggy and we wouldn’t see him again for many hours. One day a helicopter landed at the studio and after shooting a scene Dan was flown to London, about 20 miles away, timed perfectly for him to accept another award for Potter, then flown straight back in time to continue filming, but I think he relished this cyclonic flow of his life.
April 2008 was Emma’s 18th birthday, a day the media seemed to drool over with a lecherous countdown towards the day. Emma wanted to add a brief video thank you on her website and publicity drafted me in to shoot this for her. My sound recordist, Sam Diamond and myself lugged the equipment to the second floor corridor where, Dan, Rupert and Emma had their dressing rooms. We had both been filming out on the backlot so our boots were loaded with wet mud and when I opened the door (Emma was not in yet) a sea of two inch thick snow white carpet presented itself. We had no choice but to remove our boots and instead treated Emma’s lovely fluffy floor covering to our steaming sweaty socks. The main room consisted of a small sofa, flat screen TV and DVD player, and a desk. There was a separate changing area and ensuite bathroom with shower. I chose the obvious desk for Emma to deliver the greeting and dressed the background with the few cards and balloons that where in the room.
He mentioned there are three segments about Goblet of Fire, Half Blood Prince and Order of the Phoenix with plenty about Dan, Rupert, Emma and Rob Pattinson. On a personal note he mentioned he got along with Dan really well and he was a charming young man.
So please take a look, read and enjoy. You can buy it via Amazon and Kobo. For US customers, go to this link.

Ok so I posted the new layout for the Fan Center and am hoping you guys like what’s coming soon. I have a huge work load right now but I am hoping to open the center sometime this May. I got to make the content for it and each graphic take at least 3-4 hours to make so I gather around probably mid-May will be our projected open date.
The other day, I was browsing several websites. And one thing I thought about is the fans who love celebrities like what’s new with them, the projects they got coming up and etc. The website gives you latest updates, news and what’s coming. The Gallery contains over 50,000 images to browse through. Radcliffemedia give you over 100 videos to look at. And our fan fiction site gives you stories to read. What we don’t got is a fan interactive center which will bring more for you. Every day I get questions of one thing or another. So your gonna have your chance to view questions people asked and see the answers your looking for. I also have in mind banners that you can put on your site or facebook page to claim your love for Dan. Banners where you can choose your design and have it written with the words you want on it. And lots more this is just the icing on the cake. So as I build it, I will add more to it. We’re also gonna head to the social media side with banners and icons for facebook and twitter.
When i was working on the gallery several repeats were removed and some medium quality images were removed as well. Before I delete the previous database I am gonna do a few checks mainly just a quick rundown of everything I did. Before it is totally removed. I spent three weeks on it and if you are a member I am gonna change a few things. If you like the site please like our page, I’d like to see more SDR members support us. So If you like the site let me know.

Finishing off the last section of the gallery is the most tedious part of the entire gallery. After sorting through so many photos it was a tremendous amount of work especially starting from scratch. From looking at what’s left I figured I would be done by Wednesday. So I am hopeful that will be my finished date. I do apologize for the ones that try and login and can’t. But I did tell you that when you can’t access it I am working on it so its not you guys. Thanks to several members I have new content to add. But I won’t put that until afterwards.
Things are looking up on the Google Plus side. Not only for SDR. but Dan’s google plus as well. He’s currently making a sort of video diary for us which is way cool. I sort have something coming up which I cannot say at least not until September. A few members from SDR are helping out and my projection on that is gonna be hopefully a great outcome. It’s a secret project we have been working on for months. There’s a few members in SDR that became a little more than friends they’re like family. So as we all work on that you guys enjoy the gallery and more Horns graphics is coming up. I also will be doing a special review for someone that is just so completely wonderful so after the gallery is done I will be working on that for her. I wanna thank you for being patient and for your support.
New KYD stills from the set have come out online which can be viewed at our google plus. There is also news that Dan will be attending the Lawrence Olivier awards at the end of April on the 28th.
Rafe Spall who is from the F Word, is nominated for Best Actor also James McAvoy for Macbeth. 🙂 At the Royal Opera House in London. It will be live on BBC Radio 2 from 18:00 but ITV will be showing a highlights package after the ceremony.
A new picture has also arisen from the David Copperfield set.
I’ve been renovating the gallery since last week, as I work on week 2. I cannot tell you how many pics we were missing because of the crash I lost count. I’ve been keeping a detailed notebook and with that i can actually tell you how much we lost but things are gonna slow day a bit I took on some extra tasks and between doing that the gallery and communicating with dear friends. I have a bit to do.
So as I get down to the end, I only wanna say thank you all for being patient. I know you love the site and the gallery especially. And thanks to those that have been reading our fan fiction. There was one recent feedback I got and I loved the comment thanks to whoever wrote it. After writing 66 stories you kinda lose focus on what to call your characters other than their actual name. I always seem to have a problem with that. Movie fan fiction is different than writing what became to be known as Daniel Radcliffe’s Fan fiction site. Wasn’t really him I was basing it on. It was like Dan was the character. I couldn’t see him with any other name. If figments of my dreams and ideas became loved by others. Thank you, your feedback is appreciated.
Oh and check out Dan’s google plus he left us a few photos of his latest photo shoot. Thank you Dan… <3
The Gallery is undergoing a major renovation. Reason: I am doing a big cleanup so big that you guys will think the gallery is not coming back. It will but in a week hopefully least i am hoping so. Since finding those two missing pics I am wondering if I maybe missing more when the database crashed I did a check but not thoroughly. So to clear it all up I am gonna work on a fresh database and a fresh gallery install. Uploading images is a lot of work and its no easy task. If any new photos should arise between now and when I finish I will post them all here for you guys or alert you to them elsewhere. I removed stuff from the site too since there really is no need for them anymore here’s what I removed:
The Woman in Black Fan Site – All content was moved here under “SDR In Depth”
SDR Projects Facebook We dont need it anymore
SDR Forum – never really used
On a big plus, I am so glad everyone loved all the graphics I did on Horns. It’s one of the most downloaded projects so far. I didn’t think anyone would like them. I was even more surprise when Joe Hill loved it as well. So if I come up with anymore ideas in between I’ll see what I can come up with till then. I know how you hate dry periods and so do I.
Isn’t it coincidental that Dan posted things on Horns and I was releasing our Horns Project today? I put a text file in the the zip file for you can read the explanation of everything i did, some of the sources and the feedback I received on the pieces I did. Most enjoyed the treehouse of the mind and the bathroom pic. Which I thought the bathroom one was really awkward but I am glad you loved them and it was a pleasure making these for the fans of SDR. The password you will be able to find on our google plus. Please do not modify any of the artwork. Thank you.

I started working on a Horns Project, the project was not like the ones i worked on in the past I wanted to make something different something special so after doing my first piece. I decided to push it even further and the results are pretty incredible. The hardest thing about making these was paying attention to detail. That was the most important factor. I tried learning something different for each piece and it was lots of work. I have about 1 more piece to work on for a special friend who came up with the idea so I am gonna work on that for her. I have minor touch ups to do before these are released but here’s a preview.
New pics have arised thanks to smilezoom.co.uk, those can be viewed via flickr under our favorites. Also new pics from the December Boys by Lisa Tomasetti. I also created one new Wallpaper featuring the December Boys. I was doing a bit of research since reading the book and seeing the movie I had came across an interview with Teresa Palmer, regarding the character Maps. You can also read two articles in the SDR News Center on the Cripple of Inishmaan.
After you break his heart, Maps runs off and becomes a priest. Do you think that’s because Lucy is the best he’s ever going to have? Or do you think you scared him so completely, his only other recourse was to take up a life of celibacy?
Teresa Palmer: Maybe the sexual experience was so horrific, he never wants to get laid again. And he wants to become a priest. I actually don’t know. You’d have to ask the director about the reason he became a priest. He was actually meant to become a soldier and die in the war. I don’t know where they kind of changed that up. I certainly hope it’s not because of the sexual experience they had together. I think it’s so beautiful.
Him being a soldier, did that come from the book? I understand that you’re not even in the book? I’ve never seen this book
Teresa Palmer: Nor have I. I’m not sure I should go on the record saying that. But from what I heard, Lucy is not in the book. I haven’t read it. But from the first script, I remember he always died in the war. Last night was the first time I’d heard that he was a priest. I was watching a different cut of the film. The final cut. And I was like, “What? He became a priest? Oh, my God!”
So, you didn’t even know that they changed it until you saw the film?
Teresa Palmer: Neither did Dan. He was completely caught off guard in an interview today as well. He was like, “When did I become a priest? I don’t know!” I’m really going to have ask Rod Hardy (the director) that. I’d be interested to know.

‘Harry Potter’ star Daniel Radcliffe stars in ‘The Cripple of Inishmaan’ before Grandage rounds off his run with two Shakespeare classics: ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, with David Walliams as Bottom and Sheridan Smith as Titania, and ‘Henry V’, with Jude Law in the title role.
Other Shakespeare productions in 2013 include ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ at the Old Vic, starring James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave, and ‘Othello’ at the National Theatre, with Adrian Lester in the lead. Inspired by Macbeth, Alfred Jarry’s excoriating ‘Ubi Roi’ comes to the Barbican, while Antony Sher – famous for his villainous portrayal of Richard III back in the 80s – takes on the role of a minor German dictator in ‘The Captain of Kopenick’.

Daniel Radcliffe very kindly signed a ceramic Lindt Gold Bunny for us as part of the Lindt Gold Bunny Celebrity Auction 2013, in aid of Temple Street Children’s Hospital.
The Lindt gold Bunny Auction is open for bids now and closes on Monday 25th March at 3pm, so help Daniel’s Bunny ‘Hop to the Top’ and help Lindt and Temple Street achieve their fundraising goal for Easter 2013.
All proceeds from the Lindt Gold Bunny Auction goes directly to Temple Street Children’s Hospital (Dublin) and all final bid winners not only get to take home their signed Lindt Gold Bunny but also a Lindt Gold bunny hamper worth over €100!
You can bid on this link: http://www.lindtgoldbunny.ie/auction/bid
Last year the auction raised over €10,000 for the Hospital for its Patient Monitoring Unit Fund. This year we hope to raise even more for Temple Street to buy a special type of incubator called the Giraffe Omnibed Incubator, which helps save the lives of premature and sick newborn babies at the hospital.
I am not sure, but I think this is only open to residents in Ireland.
Thanks to your help, as well as the votes of fans of the J.K. Rowling novels all over the world, Harry Potter was voted Best Book Series of All Time, beating out others such as The Hunger Games, Twilight and The Mortal Instruments with over 11,000 votes!

Daniel Radcliffe is in final negotiations to star in Frankenstein, Fox’s revisionist take on the classic horror story by Mary Shelley.
Paul McGuigan is directing the project, which has a script by Chronicle scribe Max Landis and is being produced by John Davis. The casting goes against type for the usually clean cut Harry Potter star as Radcliffe will play Igor, the hunchback. He is described as pathologically dirty, with long hair and wearing old clown clothes. (A circus tone permeates much of the project, according to sources.)
A late-summer production start in the U.K. is being planned.

Several international broadcasters have acquired A Young Doctor’s Notebook, the new drama series about the early life of Russian playwright Mikhail Bulgakov.
HBO Latin America, RTL Passion in Germany and Yes in Israel are among the first buyers for the series, which was transmitted on Sky Arts in the UK. It proved the pay TV channel’s best-performing series to date.
The show is produced by UK indie Big Talk and distributed by BBC Worldwide, which launched it internationally at its Showcase sales event this week.
The 4x30mins comedy drama, stars Jon Hamm (Mad Men) and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter). It tells the story of the young Bulgakov’s time as a medical graduate just before the Russian Revolution and narrated by his older, more experienced self
Daniel Radcliffe, who stars as the young doctor, said: “I’m immensely proud of A Young Doctor’s Notebook – I’m a Mikhail Bulgakov obsessive – and this is one of the most interesting and original projects I’ve had the pleasure to work on. To hear that the series is travelling far and wide makes it all the more valuable to me.”

First off my apologies to the fans of SDR apparently because of the wind the digital connection I have was being as ass, so i couldnt see the opening number of the oscars but thanks to online tv I was able to see it. Course I did have the opportunity to watch the rest of it on tv. But I have tons of stuff to go through emails, inquires and such and I am gonna try and get through it all as fast as possible I did capture Dan’s presenting in screen captures which is the only HD footage I was able to get. I will probably be busy most of the week as I got other duties to attend to.
I don’t have anything on the Independent Spirit Awards but you can view it here: Spirit Awards

Amy wrote something she wanted to share. So here’s her message to everyone at SDR.
Growing up I would always go on Daniel Radcliffe fan sites thinking these people are so lucky to be able to have their job being able to write amazing things about this amazing man and be able to meet and become friends with other people who share the same interest. Little did I know that one of those people one day would actually be me and have everyone at SDR to thank for that! I look more and more forward being able to come home from school and go on the Simply Daniel Radcliffe or on the little group on face book and talk to an incredible group of people brought together by the man of our dreams. I can’t thank you guys enough but I have to say that I have two people I need to single out which are Marcie and Rebecca. Marcie you brought this little family together and made me a part of it, I just wish I could sit here forever and thank you for it. You are one of the most kind, caring and loving people I have ever met and hope to be able to see you again someday in person. Rebecca you have become one of my best friends and I can’t believe how we have almost everything in common I only wish that someday we can see each other in person and make a YouTube video together. To everyone else on SDR which there are too many to name I hope to be able to talk you more and get to know you even better, but It has to be said that all of you make me feel so special and so appreciated every time I go on and thank you so much! Love you all!!

And SDR gets a special projects section. I’ve done several projects for the site which include the Woman in Black, Kill Your Darlings and The F Word. Now I just completed a montage of the projects Dan did for 2013. This took several days and each piece was put together in some cases it was detailed and you will see what I mean once you see what I made but I hope you enjoy these. I ask that you do not overwrite anything i made and please credit when ever possible this was hard work.

I started working on something a little different and while I can’t really show you what it is yet some of my dear close friends actually love it. I created this based on an idea that a very close friend of mine has in her room and while its not exactly what she has this is my version for the project. I am gonna work more of it cause it need finishing touches and one more piece added to it. But hopefully it will be finished by today or tomorrow. Here’s a preview of part of the piece that goes to it.
Sky Arts is in talks to commission a second series of John Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe’s record-breaking drama A Young Doctor’s Notebook.
Big Talk Productions hopes to secure a window of availability with the two actors for a second series of the Playhouse Presents show, which launched last year with over 500,000 viewers – Sky Arts’ biggest ever audience.
The four-part series was based on a collection of short stories by Russian writer and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov.
Hamm, best known for his role as Don Draper in US drama Mad Men, played a doctor working during the Russian Revolution who has a series of bleakly comic exchanges with his younger self, played by Radcliffe.
Recounting from his notebooks, the doctor considers his life and career as he tries to treat the patients of a village that is struggling to enter the modern age.
Big Talk, the indie behind BBC2 comedy Rev and Channel 4 sitcom Friday Night Dinner, made the series in association with Point West Pictures, the company owned by Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt.
“We hope to bring back A Young Doctor’s Notebook,” said Big Talk chief executive Kenton Allen. He added that Hamm and Radcliffe’s “heart is willing” but availability needs to be found in their diaries.
The first series debuted in December last year with 583,700 (2.29%) viewers and averaged 366,300 (1.45%) over its four parts.

We got new scans thanks to Talis and Paola, for sending us scans from Bravo Por Ti and Notas Para tì. Thank you two very much for them. I’ve been working on some new artwork. One new edit and one wallpaper I didn’t quite like.

Started working on something new but its coming out slow since my hand was injured, But I am slowly working on things for Valentine’s day and trying to fix the new layout. Here is the fruit of my labor. Layout is pretty much done I’ll be making some more stuff and will release some of the stuff I have already done. Hope to have some stuff done through out the day, But with this cold things will be slow. Special thanks to Rima, for the help on the quote for the red template.
There’s tons of stuff i probably should add, but I am just too tired and about to get some rest. But before I do I just wanted to say check our google plus, facebook page and tumblr. I created a new piece of art, thought you might like this. Will release the full size very soon.
My very good friend, Aty drew and painted this and I cannot thank her enough for it. All the images in the painting are drawn by hand. It took Aty 10 hours to draw. So I wanna thank her for the impressive artwork she made for SDR. Thank you Aty.
Aty has also in the past made us one for Kill Your Darlings and has more coming in for us.

I added a whole bunch of stuff last night and was extremely tired after doing work on 3 sites. So I have done a few things earlier in the week when there was a dry period and redid a few things also. I remade the KYD Calendar for January. 50 Captures from the Hollywood Reporter video and added several other things to the site as well. I am not done yet but I am getting there.
Director John Krokidas and his cast introduce us to their drama set in 1944 about a murder that brings together poets Allen Ginsberg (Daniel Radcliffe), Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) and William Burroughs (Ben Foster). “When I started off writing this and going into production it was very much similar to Capote, it was a chapter in a artist’s life that had a true story of murder which ultimately transformed that artist and caused him to create a great piece of work” John added about making his film.
Here’s the latest on what I’ve added: News Articles and Video from Sundance added on our facebook page, Pictures added to the gallery and our google plus. So if you have a chance take a look and enjoy! There’s tons for you to read and look at.

Besides working on the gallery layout which I will start on tomorrow. I have a book review to do for Mary. She asked and I accepted, so I will be writing a review of her book which I quite liked so far. It’s called Jack and Yani love Harry Potter by Mary Twomey. This is her fifth book, she also wrote a series that I may take up reading called Saga of the Spheres. So I will be giving you my review on her book very soon.
Was so tired yesterday didn’t have time to do this. Plus I was sick for the last three days didn’t like that much. There was a lot to be thankful for in 2012 foremost promoting the Woman in Black for CBS Films, was the best moment of my life to do something like that for Daniel. But I made a tremendous impact on a lot of you as well. I didn’t expect that. I made some very good friends.
Amy, Erica, Vicki, Adair, Kelli, Deandra, Anna, Carol, Aty, Allison you guys thank you for listening to me and being there for me. I needed friends like you and cannot imagine life without you all. And to all the new people I met this past year, it was a pleasure meeting you as well. You know who you are.
2012 was a big test for me. I had left the Leo DiCaprio Fandom after 12 years on working on it for years and wanted something different. It sure was one big change never got anything like I did with Dan’s fans not ever. So thank you very much for everything you have given me. I appreciate it all more than words can express.
Amy and Vicki, thank you for the Christmas gifts. They are truly the best gifts I got this year. Love you and take care of yourselves. Oh and Amy thanks for the Dan pics I loved them. Hug your mom and dad for me oh also your Aunt as well.
To the man I worked so hard for: Thank you Dan, for being who you are. You have an amazing talent and can’t wait to see it all on screen in 2013. Be well, and take care.
