UK tabloid The Sun, and now Yahoo! movies, are reporting that Dan Radcliffe has been receiving such serious death threats that SAS men have been using dummy cars to get the actor to and from the studio. WB says this is a “complete lie. There is no security problem. There have been no death threats.”

I’m really glad about this! :) It would be really sad if something like that would have happened. We love Daniel Radcliffe and we don’t want that happening

lol who makes up that kind of story? xD

Good to hear Dan’s safe though, even though I never heard anything about the death threats until now.

Oh, well, of course, if the SUN says something, it MUST be true… I wonder why they haven’t tried to claim yet that Hogwarts really exists???

I wish these tabloids wouldn’t be so quick to print rumors. There’s enough bad stuff going on in the world and enough sick people without all that rubbish!

It must have been a very slow day for news, if theSun, which is famous for making up news, makes up a such a Non story. They report on a story and then say it isn’t true? Talk about waste of ink and paper.

Well, seeing as the original report from The Sun said these threats were taking place wihle he was filming “the seventh and final Harry Potter film, The Deathly Hallows” I had a sneaking suspicious it might be a load of BS. Glad to hear he’s safe.

WHAT DID I TELL YOU? the sun-UNRELIABLE LIARS!!! but I wouldn’t be surprised if Dan had death threats! There are so many insane people(envy) out there in the world. So many guys are jelaous on our Dan. I really want him to be safe with normal life. The same goes for Rupert and Emma.

“Didn’t they know that Harry Potter is “The Boy Who Lived” ???”

Plus it doesn’t seem like they read the last book either.

Matea yes the sun is unreliable but we cant take threats lightheartedly. I am glad that this story proved false but like i said taking things like this lightly would not be a wise thing to do.

The Sun desearves legal action taken against it by either dan and his family or the WB.

@ MamaBookworm: OMG! That’s priceless. ROFLMAO! On to the ‘Enquirer’ and the ‘Globe’, here across the pond! [yes, folks, our “very own” tabloid legends [in their OWN minds! LOL] that “only report the truth!} If the “truth” can set them free, let’s hope they’re not in Azkaban…don’t the dementors already have enough to contend with? [wink] LOL!
