Dan Radcliffe and His Elder Wand

As an homage to the opening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I thought I’d post a little something on the world’s favorite wiz-kid. Heh. There’s a great interview with Daniel Radcliffe up on The Daily Beast. He’s such a sharp kid.

What he said about celebrity and what he called “star systems” in America and the UK was interesting, too.
