Check out this blonde!

It's our very own Mr. Potter! A wig-wearing Daniel Radcliffe – whose Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits theaters Wednesday (July 15th) - takes a walk on the blonde side as he plays dress-up during his visit Thursday to MTV's It's On with Alexa Chung in New York City.

People reported that the cast of Harry Potter was in the Big Apple Thursday night for the premiere of the latest installment in J.K. Rowling's popular anthology, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
The crew is currently said to be filming for seventh part Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows in New York City.

Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows plans revealed

We know that it is very early to talk about seventh part of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows, as the sixth part, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is yet to be released, but in a press conference, director David Yates and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson offered up some tidbits about where they're headed with the last two films.

Even though most of you have already read Deathly Hallows, you must be having keen interest about the part where Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny as adults, seeing their own children off on the Hogwarts Express.

"We will be delivering that at the end of Part 7, Part 2," Yates promised. "Were looking at various options of how we do it."

While Yates said they probably won't be using "Benjamin Button" technology, producer David Heyman promised that Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe would be playing their older selves, not some stand-in adult actors. "We may use some of the [Benjamin Button] techniques," Heyman said, maybe as a hedge in case David Fincher comes a calling. "We're still in the exploratory stage."

Well there's another thing in which Harry Potter fan's are looking forward to-- Ron and Hermione's big kiss?
Grint and Watson admitted sheepishly that they filmed the scene a few weeks ago, and did everything they could to get it over with as quickly as possible.
Grint confesses. "It's quite a strange thing to think about doing, We both felt the pressure. It was like kissing my own sister"

Emma Watson to attend U.S. college

Emma Watson, who stars as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman on July 8, 2009. She was on the program to promote her new film.

There are lot of rumors of her educational plans when she broke the news that she was going to take a three year break from acting. While her co-star Daniel Radcliffe mentioned a few days ago that Emma will be attending The Ivy League college Brown University, but last night in her interview with Dave, when he asked her about college, Emma said that she was coming to the United States to attend college in the fall. (She did not identify which institution she will be attending).

She said she will study for a liberal arts degree, possibly concentrating in English, Art, or something else. When Mr. Letterman inquired further about what one does with a liberal arts degree, Watson said:

"This is one of the reasons that I've come to the States, because I'm young and indecisive, and I'm not quite sure what I want to major in."

When asked about her wardrobe malfunction during the premiere in London, the actress, was red faced, but said: " It could have been worse, at least I'm wearing underwear'

Emma Watson wadrobe malfunction

Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince World Premiere was in Leicester Square, London, on Tuesday, July 7. This premiere was series of misevents. As all stars soaking wet as it was raining heavily in London. Even with their big umbrellas couldn't help them to keep their wardrobes from getting wet.

The most bizarre moment was when the wind blew Emma Watson;s light sheer fabric gown asunder exposing her underwear!

Daniel Radcliffe was wearing an odd suit and Rupert Grint was looking lil bit drowsy as still recovering from swine-flu. Helena Bonham Carter walked the red carpet in character as Bellatrix LeStrange and J.K. Rowling looked smashing in a low-cut electric blue gown.

It wouldn't be the first controversial role the 19-year-old star has tackled. Few weeks earlier Daniel's rep said, "Yes, Dan Radcliffe does have dyspraxia. This is something he has never hidden and has appeared fully nude in the play Equus in London and now he says " I'd Love to play a Dragon Queen"!

He further says, "I think part of me would love to play a drag queen," he says in the October issue of Details. "It would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup."

Lolz.... Daniel with his own make- up stuff! wonder how he would look like??

Daniel Radcliffe on Broadway

The Harry Potter star Daniel Redcliffe is exploring new roles as he will make his Broadway debut playing a disturbed stable boy in the revival of Peter Shaffer's play, Equus, in Fall 2008.
Equus opened at the National Theatre in 1973 and became a huge sensation. It reopened in 2007 with Radcliffe as the star.
Radcliffe commented on the prospect of bringing the London show to American audiences on Broadway."I would be very nervous because I think that (the audiences are) even more discerning than in London," Radcliffe said.
The play tells the story of a psychiatrist, played by Richard Griffiths, a Tony Award-winning actor, who tries to treat Alan Strang, (played by Radcliffe) a 17-year-old troubled stable boy who has a pathological sexual fascination with horses.

Opening night at the Broadhurst in New York City is scheduled for Sept. 25, and the production will play a 22-week engagement through Feb. 8, 2009. During the the first show, security will be given the highest priority, as no cameras cellphones will be allowed inside the theatre. It seems that some girl fans are just waiting for an opportunity to click pictures of nude daniel for their collection!

A behind the scenes look at Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!

An invite behind the scenes to the filming of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince; here’s what they had to say:

I arrived at Leavesden Studios just outside London where it looks like an old airport hangar from the outside (which it actually used to be!). When I went inside, the first person I got to talk to was none other than DANIEL RADCLIFFE! He looked so cute, smiling as he walked in to talk to me, wearing a grey v-neck sweater over a white collared shirt and a tie with the Gryffindor colors.

I knew right away that Dan was in character. He was so cute, laughing and semi-blushing when I asked him about all the CRUSHING that goes on in this movie. If you’ve read the book, you know what I’m talking about. But if you haven’t, don’t fret, I’ve got ALL THE SECRETS about the movie in upcoming issues of BOP and Tiger Beat magazines. I’ll tell you this much right now - Dan LOVES how romantic this sixth movie in the series is! “A kissing scene was filmed on our third day of shooting,” Dan tells me. He also gave me what REALLY GOES ON behind the scenes of the Harry Potter movies, like what the cast does for fun (I found out Emma Watson beat all the boys at table tennis), and what other characters the actors would want to play (Rupert Grint told me it’d be fun to be a bad guy like Draco Malfoy).

There are HUNDREDS of SECRETS that only I can deliver to you straight from the set visit today. I saw all the sets from the previous movies - including the Great Hall and the Gryffindor Boys’ Dormitory - as well as brand new sets built just for this movie, including Ron’s bedroom (part of the super cool and unique Weasley house set) to what the Inferi creatures are gonna look like (wait till you see the cave scenes with Harry and Dumbledore)!

I’ve also got mega interviews with Daniel, Rupert, Emma, Bonnie Wright (who plays Ginny Weasley), and newcomer Jessie Cave (the lucky gal who plays Lavender Brown, Ron’s sort of girlfriend in this movie).

Before I go (I have to keep some more secrets for now), here’s a little trivia. While the movie’s being filmed, it’s called “Champion,” to keep it under wraps until the release date.

Very, very cool - I’m sure we’ll see more of these reports as we go along!

Daniel Radcliffe splits from Laura O'Toole.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has split from his girlfriend Laura O'Toole.

The 18-year-old actor met Laura last year when he took the lead role of Alan Strang in a West End production of Equus. O'Toole was the understudy for the part of Alan's girlfriend in the play.

Daniel quickly fell for Laura, 22, and they were spotted enjoying each other's company after the play ended in May. However, they have now decided to go their separate ways.

Laura told the News of the World: "Daniel and I are still good friends and have a good time when we see each other. But we just have to be realistic."

O'Toole will be the female lead in Equus when its nationwide tour kicks off at the end of the month. She will star alongside Lily Allen's brother Alfie, who is taking over from Radcliffe.
