Sydney got the chance to meet Daniel during How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in New York. Below some more quotes from the article.

Sydney was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. She’s determined to kick this cancer, her courage shining in her daily posts on CaringBridge.org, a nonprofit organization that provides free websites to help family and friends share information and support.

Last night was a moment she’ll probably remember four-ever. After a full day of tests and meetings with doctors, she headed to the theater to see Daniel Radcliffe in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” Sydney – and her mom – are huge fans of Radcliffe, the British actor of Harry Potter fame. “The play was AMAZING,” Sydney writes. With permission from Sydney, we’re sharing in her own words the fantastic adventure that happened after the show.

“When it ended, I made my way out to the side doors where all the actors come out to sign autographs,” she wrote late Thursday night. She was given a special backstage pass. “As soon as we walked in, we were practically on stage. Backstage, but on it. We were in and surrounded by all the props and the stage was in clear view. We could walk on, but we were waiting for Daniel. It was so cool …

"Finally, Daniel came out and he was very friendly. He was very short though. I was about his height … My mom went to shake his hand, but she was so excited she just hugged him instead. So, we all hugged him. He was very nice.

"He also signed my Playbill, even if he did spell my name wrong, he gave me a nickname … kind of. ‘To Sid, Love from Daniel Radcliffe.’ I would ask him to sign my head, but I thought that may be a little much. Next time. It was so much fun and totally made either my day or my life. I’m still deciding.”

Wonderful weekend in NYC for the Porkchop Girls. Saw "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and got some one-on-one time with Daniel Radcliffe in his dressing room. Great guy, fantastic show!

Daniel Radcliffe attended the Gypsy Robe Ceremony before the official opening last Sunday, together with more cast of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and thanks to broadwayworld.com for the photos.

What's the Gypsy Robe Ceremony? It brings with it luck, tradition, and a sense of community. In 1959, Bill Bradley, a dancer in the musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, borrowed a tacky dressing robe from a chorus girl or “gypsy” — as the singers and/or dancers in Broadway choruses call themselves. On opening night, he paraded through backstage bestowing blessings on the production. The musical was a major hit. A few nights later, Bradley sent the robe to his friend, another chorus gypsy.

"The Trevor Hero Award, announced Monday, recognizes a person who serves as an inspiration to sexual minority youths and increases visibility and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning, or LGBTQ, community."

Daniel's reaction:

"It's fantastic," Radcliffe told. "The fact that they think of what I've done by promoting awareness of the Trevor Project itself and the issues that it works to promote and help is a great honor."

"The people that are doing the heroic things are the people answering phones 24 hours a day in the Trevor call centers," he said. "I think that out of everything that I've done so far in my career, I think this is absolutely one of the most important, if not the most important, thing that I'm associated with."

Radcliffe, currently appearing in the Broadway revival of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," says audience members often acknowledge his work with the organization.

"I meet people at the stage door every night that thank me for what I'm doing with the Trevor project," he said proudly.

Jo has supported Comic Relief in the past by donating the proceeds from her books Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages to the fund.

Daniel Radcliffe told the Daily Mail earlier this week that he and the producers of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying are currently in discussions to bring the musical to the big screen.

He mentioned in passing that there has been talk between him and producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron about doing a big-screen version of How To Succeed. But if that were to happen the book (by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert) would have to be overhauled. It works fine on stage, but for the screen someone would have to give it more zing.

And about the dancing:

‘Sometimes I was dancing for nine hours a day when I wasn’t filming,’ Daniel told me.
‘The thing was to keep practising and practising until you could do it without thinking about it. The aim was to be effortless — or to appear to seem effortless.’
‘I didn’t want the last Harry Potter film to come out and people to say: “So, what does he do now? How does he follow that?” I’m already doing it! I’ve made another film and I’m on Broadway for the second time,’ he told me, in a reference to his five-month run in Equus — a repeat of the part he’d played in the West End.
‘I’m doing this for nine months, and I did Equus for five months here and that felt like a long time. I was exhausted after that, so I have to learn to keep my energy levels up with diet and exercise.
‘The rest of the cast work tremendously hard, but I have just two big numbers — Grand Old Ivy and Brotherhood Of Man — and there’s a lot of dancing and singing. They’re exhilarating to do and I love that this is so different from everything else I’ve done. I’m not repeating myself,’ Daniel added.

Warner Bros. has launched the official website and details on their Harry Potter Leavesden tour of the Harry Potter film sets, (opening Spring 2012) called Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter.

A new New York Times article features a new photo of Daniel by Mark Veltman and is about him coming back to broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Here a quote:

“I want to prove that a child actor can go on to have a career with longevity.”

How has it been working with Daniel Radcliffe and John Larroquette?
Sadly I am not in very many scenes with John so we have not had much chance to work with each other, we have one scene with a few lines and that is all. But he is lovely. And Dan, Dan is incredible He is a wonderful person, and he has such great energy and he comes to work every day ready to get things done and to work and to learn, he's got this infectious energy around him and that is a lot of fun. We're buddies, so we have a good time.

Via EW.com, there's a video from Daniel in some deleted scenes and extra footage from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1, the video can be viewed here.

Blu-ray extras:

• An exclusive sneak peek of an opening scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2, which hits theaters July 15
• “Maximum Movie Mode”: An interactive journey through the movie hosted by Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), and including other cast and crew, which also revisits important moments from the previous films to prepare us for the final battle. (Quicker than rereading!)
• ”Dan, Rupert and Emma’s Running Competition”: Director David Yates provides commentary for the “hilarious rivalry” that the three leads engaged in while filming the escape scene from the Snatchers in Swinley Forest. (This sounds even better than “Taylor Time” on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse DVD, which was what they dubbed the moments in the making-of documentary when Taylor Lautner was shown catching grapes in his mouth thrown from people like Kristen Stewart and director David Slade’s assistant from great distances.)
• “On the Green with Rupert, Tom, Oliver and James”: Cameras follow Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, Oliver Phelps (George Weasley) and James Phelps (Fred Weasley) for a round of golf to profile the friendship they developed over a decade of filming Harry Potter movies. Fun.
• “The Seven Harrys”: A look at Daniel Radcliffe’s method for recreating the personalities of the different characters for the Privet Drive scene, as well as the visual effects. (Read: Shirtless Radcliffe.)
• A plug for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter that includes footage of Radcliffe, Grint, Watson, and other cast members enjoying their first visits for the grand opening
• A “Behind the Soundtrack” extra

Via thisisLondon, we can give you more information on the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. Here the details (confirmed by Warner Bros.):

In the final installment of the Harry Potter series, the young hero finally outgrows the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. So it is fitting that the movie franchise has become so popular that its film premieres have finally outgrown Leicester Square.
Warner Bros today announced that the premiere of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 will take place in Trafalgar Square as well as its regular home in Leicester Square. It will be the first red carpet movie event held in Trafalgar Square and one of the biggest film premieres seen in the capital.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson will head the cast members at the premiere on July 7

- watched by the world's assembled media and thousands of fans and competition winners.

The actors will walk the red carpet and conduct interviews in Trafalgar Square before making their way to a number of cinemas in Leicester Square to watch the film. The route has yet to be confirmed. Warner Bros said the arrangements are intended to give the franchise a blockbuster send-off. Josh Berger, president and managing director of Warner Bros Pictures UK, said: "We are delighted that our plans for the finale of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will take place in such a spectacular venue.

"We pride ourselves on the creativity of our premieres and the space within Trafalgar Square will lend itself to being a magical experience for both guests and fans."
However, a new venue would have been necessary anyway because of building work in Leicester Square. Work to improve the square began in December and will last for 17 months, forcing many film companies to stage premieres elsewhere.

The O2 arena has already hosted larger events such as a screening of Justin Bieber's 3D documentary Never Say Never last month, and Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd's Bush has also been used.

The final Harry Potter film features the wizard's climactic battle with Lord Voldemort, and many scenes were shot in central London. Mayor Boris Johnson said: "As befits a great British triumph, I can think of no better venue than the iconic surroundings of Trafalgar Square in which to stage the most spectacular of send-offs for this dramatic finale."

And will Daniel be there? well tickets for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying are not on sale for 7th, 8th July and 9th July, so yes it seems he will be flying to London! (see the tweet from How to Succeed here)

There's no info yet about the US premiere(s).
