“A couple weeks ago, Daniel Radcliffe took time out from promoting his new film, The Woman in Black, to visit our offices, meet with volunteers and staff, pose for some photos and even film a new PSA. Thanks for being so supportive, Dan!

Yes. Gay as cauldron full of Cornish pixies. Or something.

So, James Corden actually “ambush snogged” Dan something fierce What’s On Stage Awards in London, February 2008. The vid is pretty easy to find; search “Daniel Radcliffe gay kiss” anywhere. Michael Jensen, of AfterElton, asked him to explain himself, and he made the statement above. James Corden went on to say:

“There’s something magical about him, which is I imagine why he got the  part [of Harry Potter], where he just draws you in. There were no  tongues involved in that kiss. But, we both enjoyed it very much,” —JC  (via Michael Jenson|AfterElton)

I am a staunch supporter of short people. The world may not be ready for a short James Bond, but it’s getting there.

The idea that there can’t be a gay character in a kid’s film… it’s ridiculous,

Daniel Radcliffe’s PSA for The Trevor Project (via queerwatch)

I want every young Harry Potter fan in the world to hear him say “Be proud of who you are.”
 


If I’d known it would make you so happy, I would have announced it years ago!"

I always thought of Dumbledore as gay. [ovation.] … Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald, and that added to his horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was. To an extent, do we say it excused Dumbledore a little more, because falling in love can blind us to an extent? But, he met someone as brilliant as he was, and rather like Bellatrix he was very drawn to this brilliant person, and horribly, terribly let down by him. Yeah, that’s how i always saw Dumbledore. In fact, recently I was in a script read through for the sixth film, and they had Dumbledore saying a line to Harry early in the script saying I knew a girl once, whose hair… [laughter]. I had to write a little note in the margin and slide it along to the scriptwriter, “Dumbledore’s gay!” [laughter] If I’d known it would make you so happy, I would have announced it years ago!

“There I am,” said Dumbledore brightly, pointing ahead of them to a tall figure crossing the road in front of a horse drawn milk-cart.

The younger Albus Dumbledore’s long hair and beard were auburn. Having reached their side of the street, he strode off along the pavement, drawing many curious glances due to the flamboyantly cut suit of plum velvet that he was wearing.

“Nice suit, sir,” said Harry, before he could stop himself, but Dumbledore merely chuckled as they followed his younger self a short distance.

This passage makes me think that Harry already knew something we were not yet aware of at the time.
