Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Daniel Radcliffe, who joined Katie Holmes at the 2010 Tony Awards to hand out the best featured actress in a play award to Scarlett Johansson (for Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge), finished working on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows this past week.
"Everyone was really devastated. It was really, really sad," Radcliffe remarked. "[We] were crying quite a lot."
Radcliffe, who'll turn 21 next July 23, began his Harry Potter career in Chris Columbus' Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), along with Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and several British film and stage veterans, among them Maggie Smith, Julie Walters, and Alan Rickman.
Directed by David Yates, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 will open on Nov. 19. Part II is scheduled to open on July 15, 2011.
On Broadway, Radcliffe caused a sensation by appearing naked in a revival of Equus in 2008. He'll be back next spring — fully clothed — in a revival of the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
