Harry Potter

Felix Felicis apparently wasn't the only potion Harry Potter was drinking in the movies. Daniel Radcliffe, 22, told British magazine, Heat, that he sometimes came to work, the set of the beloved movie series, drunk. Radcliffe said it was occasional, and typically the result of previous drinking still affecting him, but drunk all the same. He does defend himself by saying adamantly that he never drank while at work.

At the People's Choice Awards, fans have come to expect upsets at the last moment, but they could never predict just what the stars were going to do during Wednesday's 2012 awards show.

While accepting his award for Best Comedic Movie Actor, Adam Sandler's thank-yous included a group the actor said he had constantly forgotten: his teachers. In an extensive and entertaining list, Sandler spelled out the unique characteristics his teachers had and the few lessons he learned from them.

Numerous box office hits were among the most pirated movies of 2011.

The most illegally downloaded movie of the year was Fast Five, the latest sequel to The Fast and the Furious (2001). It was reportedly downloaded over nine million times, to the chagrin of studios.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is hoping his Potter co-star Alan Rickman will be nominated for an Oscar this year.

Rickman played the intimidating professor Severus Snape in the series, which stars Radcliffe as the title character. The last entry in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II, premiered this summer and became a huge hit.

Rickman, however, is not in the front runners of candidates for Best Supporting Actor, but Radcliffe believes that she should be when the nominations are announced Jan. 12.
