From the Daily News Now Network, this is entertainment and celebrity news today. Daniel Radcliffe recently shared some standout memories from his Harry Potter days, highlighting the stunt work as the most thrilling part. He called it mind-blowing, especially one intense sequence from Harry Potter and the Half-Bled Prince. In that scene, Radcliffe started underwater on a wire, then got pulled up through a burning ring of fire. It happened near the end of Harry and Dumbledore's hunt for a horrocks, as they fought off animated corpses with a fiery tornado. The stunts came with real risks, though.

During training for an underwater moment in Goblet of Fire, Radcliffe messed up a basic dive exercise by forgetting to breathe. He signaled for help and nearly drown before surfacing safely. The stunt coordinator, Greg Powell, lightened the mood with a quick joke, saying he would not make that mistake again. Radcliffe agreed it was a lesson learned the hard way. These days, Radcliffe is back on stage in the one-man show Every Brilliant Thing at the Hudson Theater on Broadway.

It explores mental health and memory, running for 13 weeks until May 24th. Support for this episode comes from our sponsor. See the description. You know what is better than earbuds in bed? No earbuds at all. S-O-L-I-SoliPillow.com.
