Potter's dream dates: Portman, Johansson
Saturday, May 12, 2007

Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe would love to take Hollywood beauties Natalie Portman or Scarlett Johansson to the Hogwarts Yule Ball, the wizard school's equivalent of prom night.The 16-year-old actor revealed his love for the two glamorous stars at a London press conference to promote the latest Potterfilm, Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire.Now that he's entering his late teens and isn't 'just a child actor' anymore, he is able to voice his opinion about his scenes on set, Daniel added.'It's been an odd five years but it's been great. And we've got a while before the films end,' he was quoted by Sun as saying. 'I'm not absolutely confident that I'm doing them all. I'm definitely doing the fifth, but after that who knows?'Meanwhile, Harry Potter director Mike Newell has revealed that some of the colossal scenes in The Goblet Of Fire had to be almost axed due to studio bosses running short of cash.Britain-born Newell said that within a couple of months of starting on the 100 million pound film, he was 'angered' by the lack of cash. 'There wasn't enough money to make the film properly and that really p****d me off,' he was quoted by Mirror as saying.Newell, who also directed Four Weddings And A Funeral, said the effects-packed opening of the Quidditch World Cup had faced the chop.But after a row with Warner Brothers, it was included to save fans being 'short-changed.'The 12A-rated The Goblet Of Fire features Harry's romance with fellow Hogwarts pupil Cho Chang, as Hogwarts prepares for the Yule Ball. But it also has fear and danger as Lord Voldemort re-emerges, stronger than ever.
