Image

Despite an interview that Radcliffe recently did that "was blown out of proportion," the Woman in Black star says he and Grint, 23, are "very, very good friends." "It's just ridiculous," Radcliffe, 22, told On Air with Ryan Seacrest . "Someone said, 'Are you in contact with Rupert and Emma [Watson] at the moment?' And I said, 'Emma and I have been texting recently, but Rupert and I never text.' " Apologizing to fans who took the quotes the wrong way, he explains, "We have never texted each other in 10 years of filming. We just never have. We are lazy texters. We've never texted each other back. And we both know that's how the other person is." But the big-screen besties make up for their lack of digital communication in person. "I know that ...

This is the 1940s.'" PHOTOS: See the Harry Potter cast, then and now Radcliffe laughed and replied: "It's pretty much there anyway, mate! Not a huge amount of maintenance going on." VIDEO: Ouch!

Daniel Radcliffe: 'Rupert Grint and I are very, very good friends'

Daniel Radcliffe has clarified his recent comments that he and former Harry Potter co-star Rupert Grint aren't close. The actor was quoted in a recent interview as saying that he and Emma Watson text message each other "all the time", but claimed that he and Grint aren't the best of friends .

Radcliffe was interviewed on Ryan Seacrest 's On Air radio programme on Tuesday (January 31) and took the opportunity to assure Harry Potter fans that he gets on well with Grint.

Daniel Radcliffe Won't Film More Wizarding World Of Harry Potter Rides

The next few years are going to be pretty exciting for fans of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It was recently announced that a new Wizarding World location would be opening up in Universal Hollywood over the next few years as Universal Orlando expands its current "Potter"-themed area. What's neat about the Wizarding World is the ability for the "Potter" legacy to live on even as we get further and further away from the culmination of the book and film series'. No matter how many years pass, Harry, Ron and Hermione will still be there, ageless, inviting fans to go on adventures with them in "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey." Daniel Radcliffe and castmates Emma Watson and Rupert Grint all recorded video specifically for "Forbidden Journey" while they were still shooting "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." It's worth wondering, then, whether or not Wizarding World's expansion means Dan, Emma and Rupert mi...

Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has said that he felt as though he was "living under a cloud of shame" before conquering his issues with alcohol . The Woman In Black star, who proclaimed in December that he is happy to be sober , said that he started to drink heavily so he could be "entertaining and interesting". " It was bad. I don't want to go into details but I drank a lot and it was daily - I mean nightly," he told Heat . "I can point to many scenes [in Harry Potter ] where I'm just gone. Dead behind the eyes. "I loved the fact I suddenly could talk to people and feel so entertaining and so interesting. But after a while, you're living under such a cloud of shame about what you've done and the dread of who you might see, what you might have said to them, what you might have done with them. "You either have to change something or give into that shame and I wasn't prepared to do that at 21." Radcliffe also d...

Daniel Radcliffe talks about The Woman in Black, his first movie since the Harry Hotter series at the Hazelton Hotel in Toronto, Jan. 27. (Dave Abel/QMI Agency) Daniel Radcliffe is happy to report that, after a decade of portraying a certain Hogwarts Quidditch player, people finally know his name. "I've noticed this especially lately," He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named-Harry-Potter said good-naturedly during a busy Toronto visit, to promote his lead role in the gothic British haunted house film The Woman In Black. That movie opens in theatres nationwide on Friday. "People call me Daniel, mostly, on the street. When they do call me 'Harry,' it's usually because they're trying to piss me off. And that doesn't work. You have to say a lot worse to me than that." Still, we note, if you want to put distance between yourself and Voldemort, a movie about a vengeful ghost that periodically lures the children of a small village to their deaths seems a rather s...

Hammer Makes The Woman in Black With Daniel Radcliffe

FEW names in horror command more respect than Hammer. The director John Carpenter has said that seeing The Curse of Frankenstein, the first gothic hit by Hammer Film Productions, as a kid transformed him. Another esteemed veteran of the genre, Joe Dante, said the same movie lived up to its tag line promise to haunt you forever. And Martin Scorsese has described an obscure sequel, Frankenstein Created Woman, as close to something sublime. What makes the enduring reputation of Hammer, the tiny British fantasy factory, even more impressive is that the company all but disappeared right as the horror genre boomed. Hammer struggled financially through much of the 1970s, ceasing production by the end of the decade. Whats more surprising perhaps is that since then reviving Hammer, built on sequels and remakes, has proven far more difficult than reanimating Frankensteins monster. A group of admirers, including the director Richard Donner, looked into buying Hammer in the 1980s before disco...
