Actor Daniel Radcliffe has compared the latest Harry Potter
film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
, to…..wait for it……Trainspotting
. Yeah, that’s what I said too. Here’s the interview:
“There’s a fair amount of sexual energy and drug parallels. We have a couple of Trainspotting moments.
“That’s two films I never thought would be mentioned in the same breath.” - source
Huh. I don’t get that one. I tried to read half of the “Trainspotting” book and it was so utterly depressing and sick that I gave up. Plus, it’s EXTREMELY hard to follow. Here’s the movie trailer:
What do you think? What moments do you think Daniel’s talking about in Half-Blood Prince that are comparable?

iiiii personally think that’s a load of rubbish lol sorry dan.
how he mentioned to grasp drug parallels in HBP which are similar to the hard drug use in trainspotting goes beyond me slightly!

okay, this little interview came from the newspaper “The Sun”. if you guys remember, the newspaper posted a lot of other fake interviews w/ the HP cast. remember when rupes claimed to have said that hilton and lohan cant act? that was from the sun and rupert totally denyed it. there have been a bunch of other studpid claims from the rubbish before.

It is a load of rubbish!!!!! And when “The Sun” said that Rupert Grint said “Lohan and Hilton can’t act” which is true that Paris Hilton can’t act … but he didn’t say that.
