Exclusive: Daniel Radcliffe to guest on 'The Simpsons'

Categories: News, TV Biz, Television

Alert The Daily Prophet: Daniel Radcliffe is lending his voice to an episode of The Simpsons, exec producer Al Jean tells EW. In a Twilight spoof that’s part of next fall’s “Treehouse of Horror XXI,” the Harry Potter star plays Edmund, a kid vampire whom Lisa falls for. Alas, Edmund’s father, a.k.a. Dracula, and Homer try to squash the budding romance. “Daniel was very excited to do The Simpsons,” says Jean, “and we kept trying to ask him for secrets from the upcoming Harry Potter movie until we realized that they were all in the books.”

    “…we kept trying to ask him for secrets from the upcoming Harry Potter movie until we realized that they were all in the books.” Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

    • Stephanie

      I know-that’s a good line. Hope the episode is good.

  • Kelly

    Too funny. can’t wait to see this.

  • Jackie

    This is going to be AMAZING. He was hilarious when he was on Extras.

    • Celia

      I know. That’s my favorite episode…the one with Dan. He’s got excellent comedic timing! I hope he can be on episode of SNL since the next HP film comes out during the Fall of 2010 and SNL should be shooting by then.

      • wildecat

        Oh, I would LOVE to see him on SNL!! He’s very funny in all his interviews and was hysterical on Extras.

      • Hayley Goldstein

        Dan was great on Extras. As was Chris Martin!

        I’m SO excited for this episode now! (Not as much as the Coldplay episode, but still….)

  • Andy

    Im so watching this!

  • Simon

    We’ll finally see Dracula, aside from his role as a member of the Springfield Republican Party@

    • John

      Ah, but will it be puffy-haired Gary Oldman-esque Mr. Burns Dracula?

  • KJ

    So excited about this! Daniel will be great!!!

  • Ralph

    I’ve been waiting for a Twilight parody on Treehouse of Horror. It’s too bad there’s such a lead time for Simpsons episodes and they can’t be as topical as South Park.

    • Andy

      Weird they ask daniel to star in a twilight simpson parody.

      • RP

        Maybe he isn’t available until they do the Halloween episode. They may not have wanted to do a Harry Potter thing in that case since it’s not a ‘horror’ story and they already made a reference to it when they went to Britain. (JKR showed up in that episode.)

      • Ralph

        They did the Harry Potter parody a few years ago – “Wiz Kids” – With Lisa as the brainy one battling Lord Monty-mort.

      • Kelsey

        Harry Potter was already done as a Treehouse of Horror spoof, years ago.
        I think this sounds hilarious and funny. And it makes sense for Radcliffe to do it, seeing as so many people keep trying to make Twilight “the next Harry Potter,” and Radcliffe actually co-starred in Goblet of Fire with Pattinson.

      • Celia

        Wasn’t Harry Potter parodied in the Simpson’s movie as well?

  • Julie

    This should be a fun episode! I love their Halloween specials! Dan was so funny on Extras, so can’t wait!

  • nelly

    im happy for daniel.we all knows he is simpsons fan.good for him.

  • Gina

    This is really cool,does anyone knows when is it gonna air on tv?

    • Ralph

      If it’s a Treehouse of Horror, odds are on the week before Halloween, depending on the world series.

      • Gina

        Halloween of next year? Wow thats a long time.

  • Aishwarya

    Ooooh I love this!!!!! And finally some good old fashioned Harry Potter news! :) Sorry Twilight but it ain’t got nothing on Harry Potter! :)

  • Celia

    THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!! It’s too bad we’re going to have to wait forever to watch the episode!! Halloween is almost a year away! I can’t wait though! Dan is so good with comedy! His episode of the British show, Extras was HILARIOUS!!

  • Joanie

    Oh, this is going to be hilarious! Can’t wait.

  • Cole9219

    How did you get this info??? That is almost a year from now!

    • Kelsey

      They plan this stuff way in advance, probably so the guest stars have plenty of heads-up notice.

  • melissa

    sounds like they used some narnia in there as well it sounds interesting the young vampire Edmund lol
