Poor Harry Potter, I mean Daniel Radcliffe. He is so confused. One day he says how awesome it is that people think he’s gay. The next, he’s singing the praises of girls.
“I’m not particularly a Lothario with women at all, really. I mean, I love women’s company and I love talking to girls - I’ve always had more friends who are girls than guys because I’ve always found them more interesting, for obvious reasons. I love girls, I really do. They’re just sort of heavenly creatures. They’re wonderful.
“But I don’t know, it’s umm… I mean I don’t find it hard to talk to girls. I’m not one of these guys who freezes up with girls - I like having conversations with them - but I don’t think they probably like having conversations with me. I’m quite nerdy and geeky and I’m not particularly cool.”
Why does this sound disingenuous? I thought Harry Potter MADE nerdy and geeky cool! I am sure Daniel can have his pick of fangirls all over the world!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has broken the record for the most money made worldwide in five days!
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince dominated the worldwide box office its first five days, opening to an estimated $159.7 million in North American–the sixth-biggest domestic opening ever–and $237 million from 54 international markets, a new record. The worldwide take of $396.7 million after five days is also a record, surpassing the $381.7 million made by Spider-Man 3 in 2007 its first five days. The sixth installment of Warner Bros.’ “Harry Potter” franchise cost about $235 million to make. Domestically it opened bigger than its predecessor Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which collected $139.7 million its first five days. “Half-Blood Prince” had the second-biggest start for a movie premiering on a Wednesday, trailing the $200 million five-day opening of last month’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The Dark Knight holds the five-day domestic record with $203.8 million. For the three-day weekend, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince earned $79.5 million in North America, averaging an impressive $18,376 from 4,325 theaters.
That’s just it’s opening weekend, I expect the film will continue in its success. If any of the Potter movies deserve success at the level it’s reaching this is the one.

It’s all about Harry Potter this weekend with the record-breaking opening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! Seriously, I didn’t think these movies were getting any better, but evidently the movie-going public disagrees.
But remember way back in 2001 when the first movie was released? Before J.K. Rowling had had the chance to write so many freakishly long books? Back when the three stars, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson were still just kids, and no one could have known just how fantastically rich and popular they would become? Do you remember what they looked like then? Take a trip back down memory lane after the jump!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has broken the Japanese record for a Wednesday opening ever.
TOKYO — “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” bowed in Japan on Wednesday with $3.57 million on 840 screens — besting “War of the Worlds” for the biggest-ever Wednesday opening.
This number was particularly impressive since Wednesday is Ladies Day at Japanese theaters, meaning women pay 1,000 yen ($10.69) for an adult admission, compared with the standard price of $19.24. Women account for the bulk of the “Potter” aud in Japan.
Women pay less on Wednesdays in Japan? That’s awesome, now there is a culture that showss appreciation for females! This movie is raking in the cash this weekend.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince managed to set the record for the most money ever made from a midnight opening, $22.2 million!
Warner Bros. Pictures’ Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince earned an estimated $22.2 million for its 3,003 midnight screenings, beating the $18.5 million midnight runs by the studio’s own The Dark Knight and the $16.9 million earned by Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
The sixth installment continues its first day of release in 4,275 domestic locations and will expand to 4,350 theaters on Friday.
Last month, Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen grossed $16 million in midnight runs, also on a Wednesday.
That’s a lot of money! I have little doubt that this film will be the biggest money maker of the summer. Potter obviously hasn’t lost any popularity.

Daniel Radcliffe is such a target of gay rumors you would think someone had taped a sign that says “GAY!” on his back. Some guys might not like being talked about like that , but not Harry Potter. He told moviefone.com:
I grew up around gay people my entire life, basically, that’s possibly why I’m quite camp, and some people think I’m gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome. It’s always good to keep them guessing [laughs]. I don’t go on any blogs or chats or anything, but my friends are demons for them, and apparently someone said “Daniel Radcliffe is gay. He’s got a gay face!” [Laughs] I really don’t know what a gay face is.
Well, Dan, a “gay face” would be the one who admits to having a crush on a guy… or the one who says he’d like to play a drag queen… actually, no, I’m just kidding. Although one has to wonder about the “keeping them guessing” part… Harry, what are you (not) telling us?! Just come out already!

Here’s a brand new clip from the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince which opens in July.
Pretty cool clip, it’s very easy to see that this movie is much darker than previous entries in the series. This is no Sorcerers Stone.

Daniel Radcliffe is grown up on the most recent cover of Parade magazine. He is turning 20 next month but says he feels like he’s an old man. I couldn’t imagine how I would feel about it if I lived as much as he has already.
Inside the issue he talks about his birthday, Harry Potter and nude scenes on Broadway. Here are the highlights:
On liking older women: “Girls my own age are not really an option. I find, generally speaking, they have to be entertained more than older girls do. So most of the girls I have had serious things with are generally sort of in their 20s.”
On his birthday next month: “I’ve noticed I make noises when I get up and sit down now. I mean, my knees are rotten bad—I refused to wear knee pads too many times when I was doing stunts, and I just clobbered them up a bit. I am an old man in a young man’s body.”
Where Harry leaves off and Daniel begins: “When I started out at the age of 10 or 11, I was essentially saying the lines as I myself would say them. When I became aware that that’s what I was doing, at 13 or 14, it didn’t make sense to change, because it would suddenly be a dramatic shift in the character.”
On shocking audiences with a nude love scene on Broadway: “As soon as we started doing the show, people went, ‘Oh! So this is not pornography—this is a play,’ It was mainly hyped beforehand. I didn’t set out to shock people. I set out to do something different from Potter. If I had wanted to shock people I would have played, you know, a gay drug dealer.”

The release date for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has been changed again, this time it’s a little earlier. The film will now be release on Wednesday July 15th, 2009.
The next installment in the Potter franchise, titled Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, had been scheduled for a Friday July 17th bow, but Warner Brothers has decided to move it up. ERC reports that it’s now opening on Wednesday July 15th. That lines up with the release pattern used on previous Potter summer releases. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix also has a mid-week release in July, and like all Potter movies went on to make out big.
I know, I know how can it be early when it’s really 8 months late? Well it’s still slightly earlier and I thought you might like to know.
