This year Daniel J Radcliffe Holland is starting a birthday project together with the best Daniel sources on the web around the world, to wish him a great 23rd birthday, and we ask you to join too! The websites are: Simply Daniel Radcliffe Daniel Radcliffe DE, Portal Radcliffe, Radcliffe Brasil and Glowing Radcliffe.

Six sites, many languages, many fans!

What's the plan?
1) We are going to put a video together which will be edited in the end by Biba from Portal Radcliffe. And you all can join in on this if you want! Fans from all over the world are welcome to join. The video will be send to Daniel's agency together with a letter (credit to everyone who joined) This is how it will be put together:

- Photo's to add into the video:
* Fans holding up the letters (a4) which will form "Happy Birthday Dan" all together - no places left .
* A message from all the sites together, which will be devided in parts. (some words on a sheet/a4 to hold up in the pic) - 1 place left

Edit: 13th July 2012: Last day to send on your pictures if you applied!
Edit: 5th July 2012: The full message mentioned above:

David Copperfield, Mark Pendel, Harry Potter, Maps, John Kipling, Edmund (hehe), J. Pierrepont Finch, Arthur Kipps and Allen Ginsberg, are excellent characters, and took us to places that are beyond our imagination, but you play a part much bigger in our lives. Today, we take this moment to thank you for bringing together so many people, of the various nationalities, genders, races, and that even in our differences we can find a common place. We have nothing but respect and admiration by your every gesture of affection and devotion for your career and your fans, for making us proud, and constantly proving that everything we do is not in vain. For giving us your best, in every project you have done. Thanks for being so authentic, such a good example, using all the fame you have for projects that really matter. For showing some of us the importance to embrace our awkwardness, and of being proud of who we are, giving us some of the best years of our lives, a period when we made so many friends, so different but yet so similar, and that we're going to carry for the rest of our lives. We'll be at every barrier, every conquer, every failure. One for all, and all for one. You inspire us. For all that, we wish you all the best that life can give. We love you."

2) We will try to "trend" a Twitter tag (we hope you all will help ofcourse) on Dan's birthday, 23rd July. This with the hashtag #wwDanRadBdayproject where "ww" stands for worldwide.

Do you want to participate and get featured in the video to Dan?
Send an e-mail with your name, age, country & city with the subject "Birthday Project 2012" and I will get back to you a.s.a.p with more details regarding your part in the action. We need to have all the photos on 13th July.

Rules:
Please use a good quality camera and a good lightning.

How it works out also depends on how many of you will be joining this project.
So share the news around! Still questions? Let me know.

Pegg, who starred in films including Run, Fatboy, Run, ends his message by saying: “Please remember to mind the gap, it’s very important.” Boxer Khan says: “To all the kids, stay out of trouble.”

Watson, who played Hermione in the Harry Potter films, says: “I hope you had an awesome time, keep loving London.”

I did already post on Facebook that Daniel would feature in a new music video from the band Slow Club. This is their track Beginners taken from their second album Paradise which was released last year. The video has just been released via YouTube. The clip was shot on location in The Faltering Fullback in Finsbury Park, London in a single take.

Paradise is out now on limited edition coloured 12" vinyl, CD and download. For the iTunes link, click here. Below the video released by moshi moshi records.

Back in October 2011, I did post about the YouTube ghost story competition for all the fans in the UK. The winning story, fear of hue by Nicky Torch, is narrated by Daniel and will featured on the DVD/Blu-ray & digital download. The video is released today by the official The Woman in Black UK Facebook page.


Momentum Pictures press release:

To celebrate the DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital Download release of THE WOMAN IN BLACK, on Monday June 18^th, Daniel Radcliffe, star of the thrilling ghost story, today released a video of himself across YouTube and Facebook reading the winning haunting tale from last year’s THE WOMAN IN BLACK YouTube ghost story competition.

The competition was a resounding success with 177 harrowing, spooky stories submitted that were whittled down to ten finalists. Fans were encouraged to vote for their favourite story from 21^st December to January 5^th, 2012 in what was a fiercely competitive contest. Budding young writer Nicky Torch, 16 from Lancashire beat 177 other haunting and harrowing tales to become the winning entry with her story ‘Fear of Hue’.

Talking about winning the competition, Nicky says, “I entered but I had no idea I would win, I was happy enough to get in the top ten and I can't wait to see Daniel read my story!”

Nicky’s prize for winning the competition was to attend the world premiere of The Woman in Black and to have her story read out by Daniel Radcliffe on the DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download release of the film.

The stories shortlisted for the final ten were selected on the following judging criteria: creativity, originality and writing style, with the winning tale being voted the spooky favourite by fans on YouTube. Kristin Ryan from Momentum Pictures said “We’re delighted that The Woman in Black has inspired this winning ghost story and to have Daniel Radcliffe read this out is a real treat for fans.”

yes, Daniel is coming back to the London stage! (definitely something I had been hoping for personally) The Daily Mail & The Michael Grandage Company confirmed it. It will all officially start 8th June 2013 [until 31st August] with a production of Martin McDonagh’s called The Cripple Of Inishmaan, with Dan in the title role of "Cripple" Billy Claven.

Cripple Billy, orphaned since birth, just might have found a way off the Isle of Aran and a route all the way to Hollywood if he can persuade a small community of Islanders how much he wants to realise his dream.

Martin McDonagh’s comic masterpiece examines an ordinary coming of age in extraordinary circumstances and confirms his position as one of the most original Irish voices to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century.

Dan to the Daily Mail: ‘It’s got pathos, heartbreak — and it’s very funny,’ ‘a young boy desperate to be in film . . . I can relate to that. I’ve been desperate to find something to come back to London with.’

Tickets will be availabe here (currently only first performance)
tickets will start from just £10

A few weeks ago, the official UK Facebook page of The Woman in Black asked to submit questions for Daniel, and they have released their first video with Dan's answer to a question. More will come so check this post again later. ↓

Yesterday was the big day of the MTV Movie Awards, Harry Potter & Daniel were nominated in various categories: Best Male performance, Movie of The year. Best Cast (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2), Best Fight & Best Hero (Harry)

The results: Daniel did not win Best Male Performance (went to Josh Hutcherson) Movie of the year is won by Twilight: Breaking Dawn part 1, HP also did not win Best Fight, but... they won Best Cast & Best Hero! (from the Social Media voting they introduced this year) Congratulations to all! They deserved it! Emma Watson was there to accept the Best Cast Award, below is her acceptance speech:

"I don't think I will ever accept an award on behalf of so many people," Watson said. "From Ralph Fiennes to Helena Bonham Carter to Hedwig and Dobby and all of them, this is amazing. We had over 200 cast members and I wish they could all be up here with me now. Sadly. they can't. "Obviously I share this award in particular with [Daniel Radcliffe] and Rupert [Grint]," she added. "Wherever you are, I hope you're watching, and I miss you both dearly. Just, thank you. I really, really appreciate it."

"Explain HP's success at the MTV Movie Awards"

The 2012 MTV Movie Awards are fast approaching, Emma and Rupert are up for the award of Best Kiss (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2) and Yahoo! asked Daniel exclusively about movie snogs and what makes them worthy of a gong.

"God knows. I don't know [blushes].

"You just kiss like a normal person and enjoy it! You just have to enjoy it and really be into it with the person you're with.

"I've never had to kiss anyone that I didn't really like. I don't know how I'd feel about that.

"But yeah I think as long as you're enjoying it that will show. You gotta have fun, you can't be all nervous and twitchy about it."

"I'd be more than happy to lose to Ryan Gosling in that category.

"I don't pay a huge amount of attention to the awards thing. In America people are much more open about their desire to win awards. I don't have that. I never know quite what to make of it."

Yahoo OMG! UK has now uploaded their interview which they had with Daniel on 18th May (during the The Woman in Black press junket in London). They talked with him about the upcoming MTV Movie Awards and more.

"I don't pay a huge amount of attention to that awards thing."
