I have been receiving quite a few e-mails, messages and IMs over a certain movie website listing a particular DR site as Dan's official website in one of their online polls for official actor websites.  Unfortunately, this seems to be causing a little confusion among some of our readers so I am hoping to clear this up for everyone.  I am not sure why they did this, but it is completely untrue. 

Daniel does not have an "official" site.  He and his team work with two websites (one of which is mine - DanRadcliffe.com), neither of us are official though, we just both work very closely with them. 

It is a shame people don't check their facts before posting things, however, the only thing I can do is keep you informed about the facts, rather than those who post things up without verification...

Check out the main site tomorrow to see the first stills of Daniel in My Boy Jack!  He is currently in Ireland filming the production.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DANIEL!!! As you know, today is Daniel's 18th birthday. Please join me in congratulating him on a fantastic year so far with his current and previous projects, and an even better half to come, with even more projects on the horizon. Best of everything Daniel - we all love you. If you guys want to celebrate in this post - feel free to have a cyber party - and pass the...uh...NO! Who ate the last slice of pizza?!

Update: Daniel spent his birthday watching a little cricket. Check out a bit about that, as well as a lovely audio interview with him from the event HERE.

There is a new survey out about the seventh book and fifth installment in the Harry Potter series over at the Ppinion Portal Demandi.  The nice folks over there asked me to let you guys know about it.

You can check your knowledge, etc.  This survey is for research purposes as well - so go take it if you have the time.  The questions are interesting. 

Take the QUIZ!!!

Yea, I know it sucks.  I just posted 1,926 photos and you are one of the people trying to get to the media server and you're getting an error.  Our media server allows up to about 37,000 connections at one time...that means...if you get an error there are over 37,000 people trying to connect to the media server database....which means you will have to wait til someone gets off. 

I know it is frustrating because everyone wants to see the pics, but eventually the other people will get off.  Unfortunately, I posted a lot of photos so it may take them a while to go through them. 

Keep in mind - this doesn't happen often, but when there is a major movie release, traffic tends to increase exponentially.  Right now I have to wait to post more of our exclusive premiere and HFW Ceremony stuff due to the heavy traffic, so we are all feeling the pain.  

Please be patient - connections will free up.   Happy thoughts....happy thoughts...happy happy joy joy. 

I will have a special fan section with YOUR opinions about the film and Dan's performance.  You have until this evening to post a comment here to be eligible for inclusion.  You must post here to be included - this signifies I have your permission to use your comment.

Check below for the questions to answer - you do not have to answer all of them:

1.  What was your favorite scene and why?
2.  What did you think of Dan's performance in this production?
3.  What one thing did you think should have been included in this production that was left out?
4.  What is your overall opinion of the film?
5.  Summarise, in one word, what best describes this film - if you can.

While you are patiently waiting for the LA Premiere report/photos/etc.  you can gander a sneak peek at the question I asked Dan on the red carpet, with a little pre-interview footage as well.  Check it out on our uTube Space!

Would you believe our Dr.com Channel on uTube is the 90th most viewed today? 

Things have been absolutely insane for a few weeks now, especially now that the movie has opened.  And how about that box office record Wednesday! 

The premiere on Sunday was fantastic, even if I did turn three shades of pink from the sun.    Daniel, Emma, Rupert, Imelda, David, etc. were moved along rather quickly down the line - and things went very fast once it was almost time for the film to begin.  I will  be posting photos (I believe there are 68 pics) and video tomorrow from the premiere hopefully (as long as my computer cooperates with me).  I have over 150 photos to post for the Hand, Foot and Wand Ceremony. More scans and screen caps coming too...and even more stuff after that... CraZy days! 

After watching the film once the premiere was over on Sunday, and then scurrying around to parties afterwards, I found it quite difficult to make it to the press conference so early the next morning - but I did!  Although, I am sure I lost a few brain cells somewhere along the way... 

I thought the film was amazing.  Daniel has really outdone himself in this latest production.  It is definitely evident he is pushing himself, and I can only imagine how much more he will improve in the next installment after his run with Equus. 

What did you guys think of Dan's performance in OOTP?  What were your favorite scenes?

There have been many people writing in about a rumour going around about Daniel buying a car for his 18th birthday.  I don't think this is true, but I am checking into it to know for sure before I post anything on the site officially. 

When I last spoke to Daniel about possibly buying a car he had no interest in doing so.  Things may have changed since then, so I will post about it as soon as I know for certain.  Thanks for your patience everyone - and the tips! 

Many of you are familiar with the Dr.com 18th Birthday Project we have going - currently we have about 2,500 participants in this so far (submissions will only be accepted through June 10th). Keep those submissions coming - I at least wanna break 3,000.

Now, I'd like to go into the second part of the birthday project, which is our annual birthday fund-raiser for Demelza Children's Hospice. If you are unfamiliar with Demelza you can read more about them, along with Dan's involvement, HERE.

Instead of sending birthday presents to Dan, he would prefer that you send donations to help support this fantastic organization.

All fans that donate to this very worthy cause will have the opportunity to send birthday wishes to Dan along with their donations. I will collect the thoughts and wishes sent in to DanRadcliffe.com and create a special section in ACED Magazine for Dan to read them.

Fans who donate will also be entered into a special prize drawing. There will be three big prizes, and several small ones. First place will receive an Equus t-shirt, poster and a signed Equus lobby card by Daniel himself. Second and third place runner-ups will receive an Equus t-shirt and poster. Various others will receive Equus lobby cards and promo posters (unsigned).

Please forward your Worldpay receipts to me (jenna@danradcliffe.com), along with your wish so I can include you. (Please refrain from sending marriage proposals or "I love you, you're so hot" messages, those types of messages are not acceptable.)

We've created banners and buttons for fans and other websites/journals/myspaces to join in the festivities and be a sponsor - it's free to be a sponsor.

If you are already familiar with the procedure then go on and DONATE NOW!! Please don't forget to select Daniel Radcliffe as your source!

We will accept donations until July 7th, at which point we will present the total to him personally on the red carpet at the Premiere for OOTP.
