Heidi: "2. From Countingdown.com's HP page today, there was a blurb about a
British tv show tonight called ANT AND DEC from 7pm - 8.30pm - Among the
guests tonight are Stephen Fry and Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) - can
someone PLEASE watch & report back as well?"

Me earlier: "Tonight, that would be Comic Relief (also known as Red Nose
Day). Ant and Dec are on between 7 pm and 8:30 pm, but it is not clear what
will be on. The web site in question is quoting from The Mirror, so out
comes my ton of salt to the credibility of the comment. I have not seen
this advertised anywhere else, but will attempt to watch some of it anyway
(just have to convince a friend to let me choose what he watches this
evening)."

Well it seems as if I will need a shovel to remove the ton of salt that is
in the way. Dan Radcliffe and Stephen Fry were on TV moments ago.

Dan was there to present the cheque from the sales of FB and QTA (and two
other books also released to raise money) to Comic relief. From UK sales
alone the books have already raised over 2 million pounds. Stephen asked
about things on set and Dan said that he was really enjoying it and it was
good fun.

The cheque was written out in Galleons, Sickles and Knuts (about 450,000).
The kids on set have also raised some money by sacrificing things (wasn't
really explained, but SF asked if this meant they had been killing some of
the kids and Dan laughed the comment off). Dan seemed quite as ease being
on TV, but was on screen for less than a minute and he was there only to
present the cheque.
