Daniel will star in the play Equus.Website danradcliffe.co.uk shares exclusive details. The play will be performed in London's West End Theatre District next Spring, 2007. Daniel will portray the role of Alan Strang and he will begin rehearsing for the role in January 2007.

The production is directed by Thea Sharrock and it will also star fellow actor, Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley) as Psychiatrist, Martin Dysart.

Daniel forwarded them this message:

"I'm really excited to be part of this production. I'm thrilled to be working with Richard Griffiths again. This is obviously a huge departure for me as an actor, but Equus is such an amazing play that this really was an opportunity not to be missed.

Rehearsal starts in January and I'm very much looking forward to working with Thea Sharrock who is an incredibly talented Director and only hope I do the role justice!"

The play was originally performed in 1973 by the National Theatre in London. It is a story of a psychiatrist who attempts to treat a young teenage man's pathological fascination with horses. It was an inspiration born out of a crime involving a teenage boy's senseless injury to horses which blinded them. The play received a Tony Award for best play in 1975.

Harry Potter made an appearance after this…sort of. A quick video clip of Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry) speaking from the set of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” (Trelawney's classroom) was shown. For fans who are interested, his hair appears to be the shortest it’s ever been for this film. Daniel said the movie is going great, and said that he was sure audiences were curious about the kiss Harry Potter receives in the movie. He then went on to say, “Well, the kiss is…”

Unfortunately, the director, David Yates, then appeared and started talking about the movie as well. He mentioned that Hagrid’s giant brother Grawp will be in the film, as well as Dolores Umbridge, whom the director described as “a cross between Doris Day and Freddy Krueger.”

Yates then addressed the issue of the kiss as well, saying “Oh, the kiss? It’s…” A production assistant interrupted and said they were both needed on the set. They quickly said goodbye and left, smiling as they left the audience wondering about that darn kiss.

Daniel talked about working on this film, “It’s fantastic; it’s such a blast being on set.” David gave out some info about Professor Umbridge, played by Imelda Staunton. “She’s a cross between Doris Day and Freddy Krueger,” he said. They’re also going to add some new creatures for this fifth version of the Harry Potter series; “We’re also bringing in these half-men/half-horse characters to the mix, that are wonderful.”

Daniel has won at Popstar magazine's Poptastic Awards. He received Best Movie Actor and also stole Surge Star (those who were top vote-getters online). Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire received the Best Movie award.

Here's what Daniel had to say:

"Thank you so much for these awards - it really does mean a lot to me and everyone here at the production. We're all huge fans of Popstar! magazine and truly appreciate how much you and your readers have supported the Harry Potter films over the years. Thank you again. Best Actor and Best Movie... what an honor!"
