"Expectus Patronum!"

In the latest issue of the British GQ magazine, actor Daniel Radcliffe admits that he had battled an alcohol problem while filming the latest Harry Potter films, specifically Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollow Pt. 2. Radcliffe said that it was during the filming of the highly-anticipated finale that he realized that he was in trouble and that he had to do something. I assume that started with snogging Emma Watson.

Said Radcliffe in various excerpts:

“I became reliant on [alcohol] to enjoy stuff … There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me.”

“I really got away with that because there were so many instances when a paparazzi shot like that could have been taken,” he told the magazine.

“There’s no shame in enjoying a quiet life,” he said. “And that’s been the realization of the past few years for me … As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn’t work for me. I’d just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.” (Entertainment Weekly)

On one hand, it may be the least shocking piece of news ever that a teenage British actor had a drinking problem. That’s like feigning surprise when a Lohan is busted with crystal meth… eventually. On the other hand, good for Daniel to man up and be an example of maturity and responsibility. Although, I should point out that Edward Cullen would never drink or smoke. It might damage Bella’s fragile, fuzzy vampire womb.

Thank God for Voldemort Cat, he’s really the only thing that gets me excited about posting Harry Potter stuff.  Nothing against Harry Potter or people who like Harry Potter (as long as they’re not some private school quidditch assholes) — unlike Twilight, I can at least recognize that it’s well written and wildly inventive — I’m just too far out of it at this point.  Anyway, below you can watch the trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2, which opens July 15th.  Will Harry finally sneak snape into Hermione’s bumblesnatch?  Will the guy who gets to have sex with Emma Watson shout “Three points for Gryffindor!” at the point of orgasm? Find out below! Maybe!

Our buddy awkward Josh over at MTV recently did this fun little interview with the cast of Harry Potter and the Whatever with Wizards and Crap, where he tests their ability to speak American.  Of the four, Daniel Radcliffe (the creepy dark-haired one), Tom Felton (the creepy blond one), Rupert Grint (the creepy redhead), and Emma Watson (sugart*ts), I’d say Rupert Grint displays the most competence, which is probably for the best, since he’s a ginger and no one will ever love him.  You’d think Emma Watson would have an advantage since she goes to college in the US, but you have to remember that she goes to Brown, and everyone there has an affected, phony European accent like Madonna.

And as an Italian-American, I’m a little offended that one of the American phrases wasn’t “HEY! I’M WALKIN’ HERE, JERK OFF!”  We’re the grease that keeps this rich tapestry looking shiny, dammit.

Haha, Fauntleroy over here thinks “Boo-Ya” is a restaurant!  Yeah, buddy, just take the lorrie lift down to the loo and they’ll serve you up a fresh KNUCKLE SANDWICH you can take back to the queen.  USA! USA! USA! USA!

Daniel Radcliffe shirtless in a bra? Yes, Google, it's true.

I sort of dismissed Harry Potter movies as not my cup of tea a few years ago, but based on this new TV spot for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, perhaps I was wrong. Er, premature.  The sheer bra is cute.  But I wonder: couldn’t the choker be tighter?  LOOK OUT HARRY, THERE’S A GINGER BEHIND YOU!  MOTHER OF GOD, THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!

Guh. British people.  Cross dressing is their solution to everything.

As you might have guessed, today’s headline of the day is “Daniel Radcliffe looks forward to sex with Broadway dancers,” and it comes from the HuffingtonPost.  A closer look, however, reveals that Daniel Radcliffe didn’t reeeally say that…

Daniel, 21, tells UK magazine Dazed & Confused:
“I’ve been in relationships from the age of 14 and now I’m single. I said to a friend the other day, ‘Dude, I’m doing a show with dancers. I’ve got to be single.’ He was like, ‘Don’t sleep with anyone in your own show. That’s a mistake.’ It’s good advice. But I’m not sure I’ll stick to it.”

Jesus, this story is really boring.  Kudos to HuffPo, they deserve a Pulitzer for making Daniel Radcliffe seem interesting.

Sidenote: Who invented the “we-care-about-your-one-word-reaction” function on websites and how the hell did it get so popular?  Hurrrr, I’m only capable of expressing one emotion at a time, and I say thith ith outraaaaageous….
