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

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."

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."

Ian: “Daniel is a great kid. He loves his music and that’s why I put him in the sleeve notes. “He’ll be p***ing himself when he sees it.”

Ian Brown has a cameon role in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. He was seen drinking a pint of bitter in the Leaky Cauldron pub. As soon as Ian marched on to the set, Stone Roses fan Daniel came over like a shot. Ian says:

“Every time I turned around he was there asking about the Roses, Oasis and music. I loved the Harry Potter thing. I got to be a movie star for a day. They gave me my own trailer and everything.”

The single Keep What Ya Got – featuring Noel Gallagher on guitar – is the first from Ian’s new album Solarized.

The new Q magazine features a list of Daniel's iPod music. For the full list click here (scan via danradcliffe.co.uk).

He has been overwhelmed by the generosity of his fans and is deeply grateful and flattered to have received so many gifts, but because of the massive volume, it is taking longer than he had hoped to respond to each gift that was sent in. It is important that everyone knows they will be thanked individually for the fantastic gifts they sent to him. Please don't feel you have been forgotten, it will just take a bit of time for him to respond to you all. Thank you again for your kindness and your patience.

Hi Daniel. What are you up to?
I’ve just done the Jo Whiley show on Radio 1 which was brilliant, so much fun. It was kind of one of those false interviews where they do the interview and pretend that the music’s being played in the middle of it. So I was very confused at certain points. I picked some of the songs I liked, so hopefully they’ll play some of them. They’re definitely going to play The Walkmen.

What other songs did you pick?
I picked the new Bloc Party single, “Banquet”.

Bloc Party?
I love Bloc Party. Awesome band. They’re just one of those really fresh bands like Art Brut. There’s all these cool really fresh bands around and there’s something kind of really punk about them that I really really like. They’ve got a really cool attitude.

Q: Could you two start off by commenting on how much you think you've changed through the course of these three movies?
EMMA WATSON: We've just been getting older, maturing.
DANIEL RADCLIFFE: I think we probably have changed as actors as well, but I'm not conscious of myself changing. I mean, I can't pick-up on it. I never watched the first film again since, like, for about three years now. So I can't really compare it to the third because it's not very fresh in my mind.

Q: Are you more confident this time around when you were doing it?
WATSON: We get more and more confident every time, really.
RADCLIFFE: Yeah, I think so. Definitely, just because we have more experience with different directors.
WATSON: And it's nice because a lot of the crew who was on Harry Potter 1 is still doing Harry Potter 3.
RADCLIFFE: Yeah, exactly. And now 4 as well.
WATSON: It's great.
RADCLIFFE: It's like a family, basically.

The new May issue of LEGO magazine has a top ten list of reasons why Dementors don't build with Legos. And that's not everything: It also features a LEGO contest set to be judged by Daniel, Rupert and Emma. The rules are posted below.

Back then this site didn't excist. I decided to add 'archive news' like this as much as possible. I thought it might be interesting to read for you all.

Top Ten Reasons Dementors Can’t Build:

10. Slimy hands make it hard to grip LEGO bricks.
9. Minifigures faint when they’re around.
8. Frustrated that no one wants to stay and read the LEGO building instructions with them.
7. Have to keep stopping to drain all the fun out of the room.
6. Lack of feet robs them of the fun of stepping on all those little LEGO pieces.
5. Good at taking things apart; bad at putting them together.
4. Dumbledore will not allow them to build a life-size Harry brick sculpture in Hogwarts Castle.
3. Can’t understand why there isn’t a LEGO set called “Dynamic Dementor Defenders.”
2. Worried that their minifigure cloaks make them look frumpy.
1. Too busy trying to kiss the Sirius Black minifigure.”

Danradcliffe.com received a letter of warning from Daniel's father Alan after an unfortunate incident where a Chilean girl and her mother turned up on their doorstep after being duped by someone online pretending to be Daniel. He added a reminder in the letter that Daniel doesn't communicate with his fans online.

Back then this site didn't excist. I decided to add 'archive news' like this as much as possible. I thought it might be interesting to read for you all.

The letter:

In the light of an unfortunate incident which happened at our home yesterday I would be grateful if you could post the following message from us.

We received several calls at our home during the morning from a girl who had travelled from Chile to meet Dan. When we explained that this was not possible she became upset. Later in the day, when Marcia and I were leaving our house the girl and her mother appeared asking again to see Dan - again we said he wasnt there and we don't encourage visitors to our house which is strictly private.

Again, the girl became very upset and distressed - and this is where it became very worrying for us as Dan's parents on behalf of Daniel's fans. She presented us with 2 emails from someone pretending to be Daniel who said they were hoping to see her in London. Daniel has said this in his newsletters and I must reiterate do not respond to anyone saying they are Daniel and certainly never travel to London to see him on the strength of a very dubious email.

Daniel never communicates with fans via the internet or email for this very reason - he doesn't want anyone to be duped into corresponding with someone pretending to be him. For his fans' sake and safety there are no exceptions to this rule and anyone claiming to be Daniel Radcliffe is, I'm afraid, lying.

We felt extremely upset that this girl had been tricked in this way PLEASE don't let it happen to anyone else. Any help you can give us on this matter to protect Dan's fans will be very welcome.

Daniel did send an e-mail to to danradcliffe.com and danradcliffe.co.uk in which he thanks fans for donating to his Demelza House Christmas appeal in December 2003.

"I know you might be able to see the fake version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but I hope you won't do that. I hope you will wait and see this movie on the big screen with great images, sound and vivid impact, the way it was meant to be seen".
