I don't even live in the US but have been led to believe that it 
stands for Total Request Live. I have further been led to believe 
that it's transmitted on a little known, small channel known as MTV.
:-)

(From what I've heard of TRL, I, and I suppose most of the rest of us 
here, are absolutely not in its target audience anyway.)

While I'm, here, I'd like to voice a little gripe that whilst 
various "adult" US TV (chat) shows are getting all the HP stars to 
appear, not a SINGLE British TV show has managed to get *anyone* to 
appear this time around. And last time, it was only Robbie Coltrane 
on "Parkinson" (though he was, of course, brilliant). 

OK, the junior Weasley family actors were on kids' TV a couple of 
weeks ago, and Felton with his "henchmen" were on last Saturday, but 
otherwise, that's it.

Daniel in particular hasn't made a single appearance on British TV 
(neither this year or last) other than interviews recorded on the set 
ages and ages ago. Considering he lives a 10 minute drive from the 
main BBC studios, I feel somewhat aggrieved...
