Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe Hates Homophobes

The misguided star of the "Harry Potter" films, Daniel Radcliffe, stated to a gay magazine, he hates all homophobes, as he grew up around homosexuals. You're gay aren't you. A member of the booty brigade. Just kidding.

Considering most religions, such as Christianity and Islam, forbid homosexuality, labeling it sin, that means you hate a few BILLION people, dear Daniel.

Why can't we agree to disagree. As a Christian, I do not agree with homosexuality, but I don't hate gays either.

Therefore, why are you, as a supposedly "tolerant" person, as the term goes, hating others that don't share your views. It is rather uncivil.

Harry Potter and the Liberal Democrats

Mr Radcliffe, who is dating actress Larua O'Toole, also told the gay publication how he was brought up surrounded by homosexuals.

He said: 'I just loathe homophobia. It's just disgusting and animal and stupid and it's just thick people who can't get their heads around it and are just scared.

'I grew up around gay people entirely. I was the only child in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that.'

Harry Potter actor admits growing... pot

'Harry Pothead' ... James Waylett outside court.

July 17, 2009 - 9:58AM - A 19-year-old actor from the Harry Potter films has admitted growing cannabis at his mother's home, a crime which earned him the tabloid nickname ``Harry Pothead.''

James Waylett, who plays Potter-hating bully and fellow Hogwarts pupil Vincent Crabbe, was charged in April after being arrested with a friend, John Innis, 20, in central London.

On Thursday, he pleaded guilty to producing cannabis at a court hearing where it emerged that the pair were detained after Waylett took a photo of police while driving past a group of officers.

Innis's black Audi was stopped, and police found eight bags of cannabis and a knife. Officers subsequently searched the home of Waylett's mother in Kilburn, northwest London, and found 10 cannabis plants...

Harry Potter Author Sued For Copyright Theft

Oh dear! Author J.K. Rowling has been sued for infringement in violation the PREEXISTING copyrights of the estate of Adrian Jacobs. Author Adrian Jacobs wrote, copyrighted and published the book "The Adventures of Willy the Wizard -- No 1 Livid Land" in 1987. Rowling's book "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was released 10 YEARS LATER and has significant similarities to it. To make matters worse, Adrian Jacobs and J.K. Rowling are connected through literary agent, Christopher Jacobs, with the Plaintiff (Jacobs) having sought his services prior to the Defendant (Rowling). In closing, I agree with the New York judge in a separate J.K. Rowling infringement case last year - this magic stuff is gibberish. Harry Potter publisher denies plagiarism claim Mon Jun 15, 2009 4:30pm EDT - LONDON (Reuters) - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc on Monday denied allegations that author J.K. Rowling copied "substantial parts" of a book by another children's author when she wrote "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." The book, published in 2000, was the fourth installment of the hugely successful boy wizard Harry Potter series that has sold more than 400 million copies worldwide and been turned into a multi-billion-dollar film franchise... In an earlier statement, Jacobs' estate said that it had issued proceedings at London's High Court against Bloomsbury Publishing Plc for copyright infringement. "The Estate is also seeking a court order against J.K. Rowling herself for pre-action disclosure in order to determine whether to join her as a defendant to the ... action," the statement read. It named the estate's trustee as Paul Allen, and said that Rowling had copied "substantial parts" of "The Adventures of Willy the Wizard -- No 1 Livid Land" written by Jacobs in 1987. It added that the plot of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire copied elements of the plot of Willy the Wizard, including a wizard contest, and that the Potter series borrowed the idea of wizards traveling on trains. "Both Willy and Harry are required to work out the exact nature of the main task of the contest which they both achieve in a bathroom assisted by clues from helpers, in order to discover how to rescue human hostages imprisoned by a community of half-human, half-animal fantasy creatures," the estate statement said. "It is alleged that all of these are concepts first created by Adrian Jacobs in Willy the Wizard, some 10 years before J.K. Rowling first published any of the Harry Potter novels and 13 years before Goblet of Fire was published." According to the statement, Jacobs had sought the services of literary agent Christopher Little who later became Rowling's agent. Jacobs died "penniless" in a London hospice in 1997, it said... http://www.reuters.com
