    @blix: And not just get into his pants, but stay in them.

    @Private Hangnail: But what we're reading is that you let Harry Potter get into your pants.

    A friend of mine was styling Daniel Radcliffe for a Parade shoot and borrowed several pairs of jeans from a denim company I was working for at the time. There was one pair she wanted that we didn't have in his size that I happened to have personally, so I lent her my pair. Mr. Radcliffe ended up liking them so much he paid her full retail for them (after she got permission to sell my pants, of course).



    What I'm saying here is that this box office performance is clearly a result of my magic pants.
