Daniel Radcliffe’s interview with Jonathan Ross aired on ITV1 this evening in the UK. They talked about the last day on set, moving on from Harry Potter, Robert Pattinson and Twilight, crazy Japanese fans (with hilarious video clip), his love life, his upcoming film The Woman in Black and briefly talked about his new recently announced film Kill Your Darlings.
We managed to record it all for you and you can watch the interview in two parts here.
A brilliant new batch of concept art for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie has surfaced online in the last few days. In the images below you can see artists’ impressions for the killing of Nagini scene with the horcrux explosion, some sketches for a book signing scene with Rita Skeeter that obviously didn’t make the final cut, designs for the contraption that fits Moody’s magical eye to Umbridge’s office door, and several life-like models of some revolting looking giants. Thanks to Hypable and HarryPotterForum.com for these pictures.
