The three young actors who shared screen space together in 8 films, also formed a really close bond together over the years. This camaraderie turned out to be a pretty cringeworthy situation for Watson and Grint whose characters Ron and Hermione share a famous kiss in the final film.

Tom Felton has made a household name with his iconic portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series and fans love him for that even now! Even though he has long been separated from the role, he has occasionally spilled the beans on his time working on the magical set and gushed about the movies.

In an interview with Brit+Co, the 36-year-old actor reflected on his time while shooting the film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels. Since he has worked in all eight movies, it would be really interesting for him to reveal the movie he enjoyed the most.

Tom Felton has become an iconic figure through his work in the Harry Potter franchise. Playing a character that basically created the morally gray bad boy trope, his performance as Draco Malfoy is still influential. Delivering an excellent, yet incomplete arc, the part that he played in the eight films was significant, to say the least.

Recently, the actor was asked about his favorite movie, and many would expect the answer to be the series he starred in for a huge chunk of his life. Unfortunately for fans, his answers were quite different. However, it did not stray too far away from his childhood and his iconic role.

A musical inspired by the life of Alicia Keys and a play that loosely draws on the story of Fleetwood Mac — Hell’s Kitchen and Stereophonic, respectively — cleaned up at the 2024 Tony Awards nominations. Both received 13 nominations, more than any other show this year.
Hell’s Kitchen was nominated for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical (for Kristoffer Diaz), Best Direction (Michael Greif), and Best Choreography (Camille A. Brown), while its stars Maleah Joi Moon, Shoshana Bean, and Kecia Lewis all picked up acting nods. But despite its impressive haul,...

Stereophonic became the most nominated play in Tony Awards history on Tuesday, scoring a surprisingly strong 13 nominations for the 2024 Tony Awards, including acting nods for almost the entire cast. Several other shows also saw most of their leading roles nominated, including Days of Wine and Roses, which closed early but still saw nominations for its leads Kelli O’Hara and Brian D’Arcy James, as well as Merrily We Roll Along, which saw nominations for its three leads, Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez.
Stereophonic also landed a best score nomination, a bit unusual since the production is a play, but it features original songs written by ex-Arcade Fire member Will Butler for the fictional band at the center of the story. While the songs in the play have been praised, the nomination is a bit atypical given that most of the songs featured in the musical are delivered in snippets,...

David Adjmi’s new play “Stereophonic” makes Tony Awards history with 13 nominations. This bests by one the previous record-holder “Slave Play” by Jeremy O. Harris, which earned 12 bids back in 2020. Its haul includes recognition for Best Play, Best Director (Daniel Aukin), five nominations for its performers and, rare for a dramatic work, Best Original Score for Will Butler and Best Orchestrations for Butler and Justin Craig.

Daniel Radcliffe’s post-“Harry Potter” career has long been dominated by his theater work, both in New York and London. On April 30, he finally scored his first Tony nomination, for his role in the musical “Merrily We Roll Along.”
Radcliffe’s buzzy stage work began in 2007 with a run in “Equus” on both sides of the pond. He powered a delightful, blockbuster revival of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” in 2011 (Grammy nomination), and since then, he has chosen an eclectic mix of projects, work where his name alone can often get challenging — or even just serious — work funded. Think the occasionally dense “The Cripple of Inishmaan,” the provocative “Privacy,” or the genre-bending experiment “The Lifespan of a Fact.” He’s long been an asset to the NY stage scene, and this morning’s recognition long-deserved.

Close races and sharp elbows are likely when the 2024 Tony Award nominations are announced Tuesday morning. With so many shows opening during the onslaught of the past two weeks, nominators might still be clearing their minds — and maybe taking a moment to eat and breathe — as they ponder and re-ponder the 36 productions that opened on Broadway between April 28, 2023, and April 25, 2024.
Some of the nominations are no-brainers: The much-praised and hugely popular Merrily We Roll Along is a sure bet for all concerned, but what about more polarizing fare? Cabaret, Here Lies Love, Water for Elephants, I’m looking at you.
A selection of categories will be read live on CBS Mornings at 8:30 am Et, and a full livestream of the announcements will follow at 9 a.m. Et on the official Tony Awards YouTube page.

A new musical, a musical revival and a new play with music will dominate the 2024 Tony Awards nominations, according to our official odds in 17 of the 26 categories. The latest revival of the classic John Kander and Fred Ebb musical “Cabaret,” fresh off a smash run on the West End, and the new musical “Hell’s Kitchen” that is loosely based on the life of Alicia Keys and her music will both net at least seven nominations. New works “Days of Wine and Roses,” “Here Lies Love” and “Suffs” and the starry revival of Stephen Sondheim‘s notorious flop “Merrily We Roll Along” will also earn substantial nominations tallies.
Playwright David Adjmi‘s “Stereophonic” will lead this year’s crop of plays and play revivals with at least five nominations. Right behind are five other works – two new shows and three revivals – that will all tie at least four nominations apiece,...

Adapted from Georgia Hunter‘s 2017 book of the same, the story follows the Kurcs, a Polish Jewish family torn apart by WWII. It’s a difficult watch but creator Erica Lipez has crafted a gripping, vital narrative with Lerman at the center of the show. He plays Addy Kurc, the middle child who pursues a career as a composer in post-war Paris. Critics agree, Lerman is a revelation in this role.

Jk Rowling’s Harry Potter franchise is one of the highest-grossing film franchises in the world. Based on seven novels in the series, the films starred Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint as the leading trio and saw fans grow up along with the children in the films. The films and novels were an international phenomenon at the time of release.
While the main storyline ended with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, the studio reportedly wanted to begin a spinoff franchise to expand the franchise. The producers reportedly initially had an idea that involved Newt Scamander finding new beasts, which Jk Rowling shot down in favor of her iteration of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

Harry Potter star Daniel Jacob Radcliffe is an English actor who skyrocketed to fame at age 12 when he stepped into his iconic role of Harry Potter from the silver-screen adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s novels. Over the course of ten years, he became a fan-favorite for his work as Potter in all eight Harry Potter films, and with the final installment Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 which wrapped up in 2011, it’s safe to say that it’s been a long time since the last Harry Potter film. So, that raises the question: What has our favorite childhood

Harry Potter is one of the most popular franchises in the world, originally coming to life as a series of children’s novels written by author J.K. Rowling.

However, one dark fan theory about the franchise proposes the idea that Hogwarts doesn’t really exist, at least not as a safe haven for young wizards. Instead, the fan theory reimagines and recontextualizes the story as an extended metaphor for mental health issues. As a result, the theory forces fans to grapple with the idea that Harry was never really a wizard and Hogwarts is a much darker place than they originally anticipated.

Starting from his parents to deaths that crushed the souls of fans, such as Fred Weasley, Sirius Black, and even Severus Snape. The very act of a character dying plays a narrative role as well as an impactful one on both the audiences and the characters within the story.
The iconic ‘7 Harrys’ Scene from Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows – Part One
Many times, authors find themselves regretting or relishing the characters that die by their hands. Out of the many that met their end by Voldemort’s wand, there is only one whom Rowling wishes she could have done justice to.

Nominations for the 2024 Outer Critics Circle Awards were announced on Tuesday, April 23. The stars of the hit Broadway revival of “Merrily We Roll Along,” Jonathan Groff, Lindsay Mendez and Daniel Radcliffe, read off the nominees live from the Museum of Broadway.
Off-Broadway productions ultimately out-paced Broadway with this critics group. The new David Yazbek musical “Dead Outlaw” led the pack with nine nominations. It was followed by “The Connector,” another Off-Broadway musical, and “Stereophonic,” a lauded Broadway play, with seven nominations each.
While there are no Tony nominators in the Outer Critics Circle membership, these nominations can provide some clues as to how theater aficionados are thinking about this season’s Tony race. Of the five productions cited for Best New Broadway Musical, only “Days of Wine and Roses” and “Suffs” made the cut in the all-important Best Score category.

The Wizarding World, designed by J.K. Rowling, operates on a soft magic system, in that there are no hardcore rules set in place for how spells, hexes, and charms operate in the universe. There are other forms of magic, such as magical creatures and devices that also populate the world, but the soft nature of it can sometimes make the story difficult to plot.
Hermione Granger’s Time Turner in Prisoner of Azkaban
The time turners were a particularly big plot hole, as the story hinged on the time-traveling device in the third Harry Potter book, The question of why the device was not used to avert major tragedies in the book and before the story kicked off, such as the demise of Harry’s parents, loomed large after it was introduced. However, given that the worldbuilding of the Wizarding World was shared between the books and posts made by the author online,...

Tobias Menzies has become one of our most reliably excellent actors of late. Classically trained, he had an extensive theatre career in his native England during the noughties and early 2010s before he rose to prominence with roles in “Game of Thrones” and “Outlander.”
Menzies’ profile then increased further thanks to his lauded portrayal of Prince Phillip in “The Crown” and his stock has again risen thanks to his role as another major historical figure in Apple TV’s “Manhunt.” The acclaimed limited series follows the death of President Abraham Lincoln (played by Hamish Linklater) and the subsequent 12-day manhunt for assassin John Wilkes Booth (Anthony Boyle).
Menzies stars as Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of State and personal friend of Lincoln who headed up the hunt for Booth. Menzies proves himself capable of carrying this compelling show entirely on his own. His complex, gruff portrayal of Stanton is what makes the series soar,...

“It’s so complicated, but I think it’s so universal to all of us who’ve grown up,” says Lindsay Mendez on the central friendships in “Merrily We Roll Along.” The current Broadway revival at the Hudson Theatre has taken one of Stephen Sondheim’s most infamous flops and turned it into one of the biggest success stories of the season. As far as Mendez is concerned, that success is tied to the ways in which the show provokes audiences to examine the shifting relationships in their own lives. “Friendships come and go and they’re there for a reason,” she explains, “and people change and it’s okay that they change.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Mendez portrays Mary in the revival, alongside co-stars Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe as Frank and Charlie, respectively. The story of their friendship is told in reverse chronological order. The story...

The Tony Awards Administration Committee met for the third time during the 2023-2024 Broadway season on April 19, to discuss eligibility of 8 productions for the 77th Annual Tony Awards in 2024.
They discussed eight productions: “Days of Wine and Roses,” “Doubt,” “The Notebook,” “An Enemy of the People,” “Water for Elephants,” “The Who’s Tommy,” “The Outsiders” and “Lempicka.” The group also met during the winter to discuss late fall and winter openings, but those determinations were not made public until now. Those shows include: “I Need That,” “Harmony,” “Spamalot,” “How to Dance in Ohio,” “Appropriate” and “Prayer for the French Republic.”
The most notable ruling is that “Appropriate” will compete as a revival. The hit play from Branden Jacobs-Jenkins has never been seen on Broadway before this season, but previously enjoyed a successful Off-Broadway run with a different director and cast. Since it is the play’s Broadway debut, Jacobs-Jenkins will appear...

Actors and actresses have their own most liked and disliked moments in their projects they become a part of, which can oftentimes, be the complete opposite of what the fans think about the same. For Daniel Radcliffe, the moment was the iconic ‘7 Harrys’ scene.
This particular scene, which was introduced in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows – Part One, became a fan favorite since it featured Radcliffe doing different takes in different outfits of other characters.

But according to the actor himself, he revealed that it was probably one of his lesser loved scenes to shoot for his role as Harry Potter in the franchise because it was exhausting. On the other hand, he was also excited while shooting this segment because he got to realize how he could easily play the role of Emma Watson’s Hermione Granger while he wore ladies’ clothing.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling called out Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson for “[using] their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors.”
On Wednesday, when a social media user wrote to Rowling, “Just waiting for Dan and Emma to give you a very public apology … safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them” for their previous support of trans rights, Rowling responded, “Not safe, I’m afraid.”
She wrote, “Celebs who cozied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatized detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single-sex spaces.”
Neither Radcliffe nor Watson ever asked or implied a need for Rowling’s forgiveness.

Alan Rickman could be an intimidating presence; by all accounts, though, he was one of the most gracious and encouraging actors in the business. But try telling that to a pre-teen who was about to star in his first movie. Yes, Daniel Radcliffe was scared stiff of Severus Snapes himself, Alan Rickman, during the making of Harry Potter.
As Radcliffe revealed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via Variety), “I was so intimidated by Alan Rickman [while making Harry Potter]. How can you not be by that voice? Even hearing that voice you forget quite how low it was until it echoes through you. I was so intimidated by him for the first three movies. I was terrified by him and was like, ‘This guy hates me.’” However, Radcliffe kept at his task, showing nothing but dedication to playing Harry Potter that “somewhere along the lines he saw that I really wanted to do this and work at it.

J.K. Rowling is an author who has made several generations happy with her Harry Potter series, which was later adapted into a successful movie series. A TV series adaptation is on the way, but while the series itself is still one of the most beloved ones, the author has been a topic of debate for several years now due to her views on the transgender community and their issues. Recently, the feud deepened as Rowling attacked Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, the two stars of the movie series because they had criticized her in their comments.
In short, Rowling has been quite open about her opposition to the transgender movement, criticizing some of its postulates as degrading toward actual women. While the author has been criticized for her opinions, she remains firm in stating that she is simply defending basic women’s rights from potential abuse. This resulted in many...

Actor Daniel Radcliffe has stated that he was “deathly afraid” of Alan Rickman’s character, Professor Severus Snape, who taught potions at Hogwarts.
“I was so intimidated by Alan Rickman. How can you not be by that voice? Even hearing that voice, you forget quite how low it was until it echoes through you,” Radcliffe said on the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast, reports deadline.com.
“I was so intimidated by him for the first three movies. I was terrified by him and was like, ‘This guy hates me’,” he added.
The actor who portrayed ‘Harry Potter’ then watched an interview in which Rickman discussed him and the rest of the young ‘Harry Potter’ stars before his death.

Daniel Radcliffe was treated to an unexpected moment during an appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast alongside his “Merrily We Roll Along” co-stars Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez. Podcast host Josh Horowitz played a clip from his Alan Rickman interview in 2016, which Radcliffe had never seen before. Rickman and Radcliffe were co-stars for a decade in the “Harry Potter” film series. In the eight-year-old footage, Rickman heaps praise upon Radcliffe.
“As much as I was doing it for seven weeks, they were doing it for 52 weeks,” Rickman said about the child actors on the “Harry Potter” movies. “This was their life from 12 to 22. And you would watch it from the sidelines at times and throw the odd lifeline in because there was so little time for that. It’s only in recent years that I’ve managed to sit down in a cafe with Daniel in New York. He...

J.K. Rowling suggests she will not forgive her Harry Potter stars for going against her views on trans rights in the wake of a new report criticizing current gender care treatments for young people.
On Wednesday, the BBC reported on a four-year review investigating gender care commissioned by the NHS. The report concluded that gender services were based on “remarkably weak” evidence and that children had been “let down” by medical professionals. “The reality is we have no good evidence on the long-term outcomes of interventions [such as puberty blockers] to manage gender-related distress,” wrote pediatrician Dr. Hilary Cass. “It is unusual for us to give a potentially life-changing treatment to young people and not know what happens to them in adulthood.”
Rowling, who has drawn considerable fire in recent years for her outspoken and staunch social media campaign against certain aspects of the trans rights movement, issued several comments about the report on X.
