Death Threats Against Daniel “Harry Potter” Radcliffe

There are multiple reports coming out that some threats have been made against Daniel Radcliffe, and while no real details have been made public, it is being taken quite seriously. So much in fact that Radcliffe is now being guarded by former Special Air Service. That is the same protection given to the princes!
From the Herald Sun
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “There is a real concern for Daniel’s welfare. No one has said what has been going on. It’s all hush-hush - but security has been massively ramped up. Daniel has the four guards with him at all times.”
The 18-year-old star is filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and although the nature of the threat - which was received via Warner Bros. who are producing the movie - is unclear, bosses aren’t prepared to take any chances.
The actor switched cars three times on Saturday night as we went to and from the film set. His regular driver - used by the star for seven years and considered “part of the family” - has been temporarily replaced. Daniel has now been given a “chase car” which follows the vehicle in which he is travelling in case of emergency. The source said of the SAS guards: “They are all experts in evasive driving, threat assessment and close protection. This isn’t about keeping an eye out for the paparazzi - these guys are looking for something far more sinister.”
Impressive. Most impressive.
