Sanma Akashiya’s “Karakuri Terebi” held a contest last month in which 10,000 of Japan’s biggest Harry Potter fans competed for a chance to travel to the UK and interview the stars of the new Harry Potter movie. As it is a comedy show, they intentionally picked the strangest fans as finalists. A girl named Kana was the grand prize winner, and here are partially subtitled clips of her meeting Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter).

The best part of this interview is Kana’s obsession with Rupert’s eyelashes, which she touches with amazement. She also gets a sniff of his "wonderful smell" (her words). When Rupert said Kana smelled good too, she said most people described her as smelling like a granny.

In her interview with Daniel, Kana touched his face as well, then smelled her fingers. The person who did the subtitles said of Kana “this girl’s feelings are so real (genuine)” when Daniel was actually describing the situation as “surreal.”

Although Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie doesn’t hit theaters until July, another trailer has been released. The movie looks good. I just wish I could transport myself to July, so I could watch the movie today.

Here’s the latest Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince second trailer. The movie opens in theaters July 17, 2009.

The Daniel Radcliffe Equus play has opened on Broadway, so now we are getting flooded with his shirtless pictures. Harry’s little putter is loving the attention.

Daniel Radcliffe appeared without clothes on in Equus on Broadway, and someone got five pictures of him from the show on 9-5-2008. Looks like the full frontal and butt shots of Daniel were accurate.
