A Norwegian website today released the first trailer for the Rupert Grint’s post-potter film debut, Into the White (originally called Comrade). The film, set in World War II and based on a true story, sees German and British soldiers striking up an unlikely friendship when they have to survive together in the frozen wilderness of Norway.
At the BAFTA Awards this evening the Harry Potter film series was honoured with the Michael Balcon award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema. Presented by Stephen Fry, the award was collected by producer David Heyman, and J.K. Rowling. Thanks to Mugglenet we have full video coverage of that segment right here. It includes some fine words from Stephen Fry as well as many of the legendary actors and actresses that have contributed to the Potter movies in a video montage.

Dan Radcliffe recently spoke with MTV and discussed his time doing Harry Potter as well as what he thinks the future holds for him in the film industry. He mentions that he’d like to direct at some point. If you can’t view the video above, here is some quotage courtesy of Mugglenet:
“My worst nightmare is that in ten years that I will just be not working and not doing anything. Even if like in five years time I decide to leave the film industry and go off and become an archeologist, like even if I’m doing that, then great, fine. But the best case scenario is that in ten years time I’ll have gotten a good few films under my belt. I don’t know how many that’ll be in ten years, but I suppose since I did eight ‘Potter’s’ in ten years, double that to sixteen, who knows. But I’d to have a few different films with different parts, and very different directors under my belt.
Ideally, I’d really like to have directed something by then. That’s the ambition. I mean I feel having spent so much time on a film set, I would have a very good idea of how to run a film set, how to lead that set, and I love telling stories. So I would like that as a job.”
