Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Enough about equus. I already know more about it than I want to. No offence to Harry but I'm exciting for book 7 and movie 5, not equus!!!

Great links! I checked out both the BBC video and the article. They were both very informtive. It looks like Dan is going to be revered for his role in this play.

I want to see the performance, too. Too bad I am not living in London. The reviews are very helpful, though. It is as if I am there watching the performance. Thank you.

I cant believe that Daniel Radcliffe has not been concentrating on his role of Harry Potter! yes its nice to know that hes doing other things but, why not wait until the Potter series is over and then act in other presentations? sounds stressfull.

Richard keeps getting whiter and whiter doesn't he! He looks a lot younger in the Harry Potter movies to me. He'll probably have to color his hair for the next movie.

Yeah, I saw a piece about it on BBC news this morning. The were speaking to Dan and asked him if he didn’t think doing the play was risky, and there were some celebrities there, who liked the play thought he was great in it.

Oh My God!
I wonder who's going to watch Equus because Dan comes out in it.
Personally, I think I won't be able to think of him as Harry anymore if I do see it.

Wow he's had a lot of time to do TV, why isn't he on the stage? I think this is a really brave step for Dan, hope he is enjoying himself. Definatley distancing himself in a good way from Harry Potter.

I saw the interview this morning on GMTV, i think he's right to say that it's silly for people to condemn him just for having a cigarette and getting his kit off. I'm glad they're getting good reviews, though.

Oh yea! I'm so glad the play is doing so well! It's a wonderful opportunity for Dan to expand his range of rolls, and after the Harry Potter films are done, he won't be typecasted. It sounds like the whole cast did really well. Oh, I really wish I could see that play!!! Is it coming to the U.S.? Or DVD?
