The
producers
of
the
Harry
Potter
were
furious
with
actor
Daniel
Radcliffe
over
his
commitment
to
appear
in
a
Broadway
show,
which
clashed
with
the
premiere
of
the
final
part
of
the
series.
In
what
is
said
to
be
a
battle
between
two
production
companies,
Warner
Bros.
have
the
bought
the
Hirschfeld
theatre
for
the
nights
he
would
have
to
miss.
Daniel
Radcliffe
had
signed
to
act
in
the
revival
of
'How
To
Succeed
in
Business
Without
Really
Trying" at
the
Hirschfeld
Theatre.
The
Broadway
show
started
its
previews
on
February
26
and
would
run
till
November
6.
Meanwhile,
Warner
Bros.
have
planned
a
lavish
premiere
of
Harry
Potter
and
the
Deathly
Hallows:
Part
2
at
London"s
Trafalgar
Square
on
July
7.
Harry
Potter
and
the
Deathly
Hallows:
Part
2
is
last
movie
in
the
series
of
Harry
Potter
and
Warner
Bros.
wanted
to
promote
it
well
before
they
go
for
its
release.
But
the
studio
bosses
were
upset,
when
they
came
to
know
that
the
Hollywood
star
will
not
be
available
for
the
promotion
of
the
last
franchisee.
Finally,
they
had
to
buy
the
theatre
after
'How
To
Succeed"
producers
refused
to
release
Radcliffe.
“This
is
the
final
film,
so
it"s
a
big
deal.
A
grand
world
premiere
is
being
planned
as
well
as
a
US
premiere
and
a
press
tour.
They
absolutely
couldn"t
do
it
without
their
big
star.
But
the
theatre
producers
dug
their
heels
in
and
said
they
wouldn"t
release
Radcliffe
unless
Warner
bought
out
the
entire
theatre
for
the
nights
they
need
him.
Studio
bosses
are
furious,
but
they
have
no
choice
but
to
pay
up
for
five
nights
costing
over
500,000
dollars,"
the
New
York
Post
quoted
a
source
as
saying.
However,
Daniel
Radcliffe
is
now
all
set
to
join
the
Harry
Potter
team
for
publicity.
Radcliffe"s
rep
said,
“Everything
is
fine,
Dan
is
promoting
the
film
and
is
happy
to
do
so.
With
all
productions
there
are
scheduling
issues
but
everything
has
all
been
worked
out."
The
rep
added,
“Warner
Bros.
is
very
supportive
of
Dan,
and
there
is
no
issue."
