Daniel Radcliffe, who'll next be seen with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in David Yates' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 in the fall, has done a public service announcement for the Trevor Project, described as "the leading national organization focused on crisis and suicide prevention efforts among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth."

In the PSA, Radcliffe, the star of the Harry Potter film series, and of Broadway’s Equus and the upcoming revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, raises awareness about The Trevor Helpline, "the only nationwide, around-the-clock crisis and suicide prevention helpline for LGBTQ youth."

According to the Trevor Project website, "suicide is the third leading cause of death among 15 to 24-year-olds, and LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers. Those who come from a family who rejects their sexual orientation are up to nine times more likely to do so."
