So bear with me as I go through the last of it. Thank you all for being patient and thank you for making this your go to site for Dan photos.

Happy Valentine’s Day. Hope you all are doing well. I am happy to report that everything has gone well with the reconstruction of the gallery. I only found 1 photo that was lost. But I finally finished everything yesterday and put up registration for a selected few. Those that registered with the wrong keyword will be deleted. The reason for the keyword is that the gallery script always gets pounded with spam. Which is why I rarely use it.
Keep in mind that hotmail addresses never get their approval so if you are registering with a hotmail address you will have to contact me to know if you’ve been approved. Gmail works fine. Not sure about other email services especially foreign email services. So I thought I should let you know.
There will be a keyword to use with your registration to avoid BOTS registering. Those without the correct keyword will be immediately deleted. I will announce the keyword tomorrow.
If you have a problem with registration please do let me know by email at simplydanielradcliffe@gmail.com

New interview from Japan’s Sukkiri. It was taken back in December for the Promotion of Guns Akimbo. See it down below.
Here’s two new excerpts from Producer David Heyman answering questions from fans.
Is there something from one of the books that didn’t make it into the films that you wish it had? – Sara Horvota
We always left things out that were painful. We shot [Rik Mayall as Hogwarts’ poltergeist] Peeves in the first film and I loved his anarchy, but it didn’t fit. I love the Quidditch from the fifth book – Ron is so funny and it was good character development, but there just wasn’t a place for it. S.P.E.W. – the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare – was a wonderful part of the books, Hermione’s mission to protect these outsiders.
Not being able to film the Quidditch World Cup in Goblet of Fire – that was more because it was so spectacular. The backstory of the Marauders, of James and Sirius and Peter Pettigrew – that was such wonderful colour, and informed Harry’s relationship with Sirius in a really interesting way. Those are things I missed. But I do feel like we made the right choices for the films we were making. Kreacher was almost cut from the fifth film, and Jo [Rowling] said, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you, because he does have a role to play later on.” So Kreacher remained, and thankfully he did because he was a significant house elf.
Was there a moment when shooting the first film that you realised you truly had something special on your hands? – Luke Martin
I realised I had something special when I first read the book. I loved it. It moved me. I fell in love with it before it was published. I’ll never forget being on set that first day, filming the last scene of Philosopher’s Stone where Hagrid and Harry bid farewell at the railway station at Hogsmeade. Dan [Radcliffe] was wearing these contact lenses to make his eyes green, and he had an allergic reaction to them. His eyes were red and swollen and we had to take them out – we thought we may add that green digitally, though ultimately we decided not to because it felt artificial. But Dan’s eyes were puffy and red, and oddly it was quite appropriate for the scene where he was saying goodbye to Hagrid.
