Danny's So Generous!

Daniel Radcliffe recently made a "major donation" to the Trevor Project--"a non-profit organization that operates the only nationwide, around-the-clock crisis and suicide prevention helpline for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth."

"'It's extremely distressing to consider that in 2009 suicide is a top three killer of young people, and it's truly devastating to learn that LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers... It's vitally important that young people understand they are not alone and, perhaps even more important, that their young lives have real value,' said Daniel Radcliffe."

Evanna SPEAK! Read it!

In a new interview with EvannaLynchFans, Luna Lovegood actress Evanna Lynch talks about the Lovegoods and filming for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Which part of Deathly Hallows are you most excited about seeing turned into film?

I imagine everyone will say this-the walk through the woods and Platform nine and three quarters... It will be so exciting to see how they translate that experience onto film, to see what someone else made of it. And of course the Lovegood house!! I have seen it being made from scratch and been in it and all around it and it is absolutely beautiful, much more vivid and detailed and alive than anything...I'm so excited just to see Mr.Lovegood in action. Luna has always been so different and jarring to those around her, it will be so nice to see someone with the same energy and hear his lines, you can't beat the Lovegoods for unpredictability.

Check out the rest of the interview here to read more about Evanna Lynch herself and her role in Half-Blood Prince.

The Wonders of IMAX

Ever wonder how they made HBP into an IMAX film?

Probably not. But you can click here to go to Wired.com and see how they did!

“The first step is masking out objects in the scene so that we can turn those objects 3-D,” says IMAX’s Eric Robinson as he shows off the software. “The next step is, re-create the scene in 3-D so that we can generate depth information from that. Our proprietary render system generates a new image, which is offset from the original.”

DH Filming Pictures

A few Deathly Hallows set photos have emerged online from Bovingdon Airfield in England.

The pictures show an open road surrounded on each side by long lines of lighting cranes.

While there is no confirmation, this seems to be set up for more filming of the Seven Potters scene.

In the interview, Emma admits she would choose Ron over Harry, and Rupert talks more about his ice cream van and Swine flu.
