A video that I took when I met Daniel Radcliffe in London in August 2013. It is crappy but you can still see and hear Daniel and get an idea of the atmosphere of that day.
The full story of how I met him:
Ok so Daniel Radcliffe had the main part in a play in London called "the Cripple of the Inishmaan". When I found out he was doing the play a few months ago while I would be in vacation in London I booked tickets immediately. So every night after the show Daniel comes out at the stage door of the theatre (the theatre's back exit) and he signs stuff and takes photos with fans. So of course I had to go and meet him. I watched the play at last Wednesday (August 21th) at noon. (Daniel comes out only after night shows but people gather outside of the theatre from very early. So I am lucky I watched a noon performance because I could wait outside of the theatre and meet him. If I had watched a night performance I would have to go back another day and wait to meet him). So after the performance I watched ended (in which Daniel was truly spectacular) I went outside of the theatre at the back door and waited for almost 5 hours to meet him. The crowd that day though was already huge although I went there very early. At 9:30 (Dan appears around 10:30) security guys put up barriers around the door that Daniel comes out from and because of the huge crowd that day my place in front of the barriers was not that good. I was near the door but I had many people around me. BUT I still took a photo with him and he signed my Deathly Hallows book! And my sister got a signature on the theatre program about the play! :D He was so nice at that day! He was so kind and he tried to sign everything and take photos with everyone! He was amazing.
The next day by chance I was near the theatre the time that he comes out so I waited again just to see what was happening. Daniel has just came out when I reached the theatre and the crowd was huge so I was very far from the stage door. But I took a few good pics of him.
And then two days before I left London (on Saturday actually) we decided with my sister to go and wait all afternoon to meet him again. My sister hadn't managed to take a photo with him the first time we met him and she wanted to try again and I wanted to see him again (because seriously when I will have the opportunity to meet him again?) and try and get a better pic with him. It was raining very hard at that day so very few people were waiting for him. We were waiting for almost 5 hours in the rain but when the security guys put up the barriers we had a perfect spot very near the door that he comes out from. When he came out the rain stopped and because we were waiting all afternoon in the rain he stayed out longer than usual (how cute is that?)! So we took pictures with him and he signed my Order of the Phoenix copy and we talked with him!! He was so nice and kind! I asked him if I could take a photo with him and he said "Yeah yeah of course". So he took my camera and he took a picture of us. He then asked to see the picture to tell if it is good and the photo was actually good but he said that it wasn't that good and so he wanted to try again and take a better photo with me. I was like "No, no I am ok Daniel thank you so much you are so kind!" But he insisted to take another photo with me. So he gave the camera to a security guy and he took a photo of us!!!! *DIES* So I now have an amazing picture with Dan, a blurry just good one, and a very nice one as well! He was so amazing! A girl at the back of the crowd shouted at him "You are amazing Daniel! And he shouted back "thank you so much"! And then a guy that was right next to me said that he is truly amazing and he said "thanks bro" and smiled! He was smiling all the time! It was so cute! And then the same guy said to Dan "Dan you are truly a wizard, when you came out the rain stopped" and Daniel laughed so hard! I love how he really was having fun with us and how he wasn't faking it. He was the best! He is so beautiful! He is eyes are crystal blue! Like ice or something! Gorgeous eyes! And he is so small! He is so short! It is so cute! And he smelled so good! (That's sounds creepy I know! :P but he did smelled good). So yeah as you may have guessed I had THE BEST TIME EVER! It was like the best moment of my life! :*) I am beyond happy! You can be jealous! :P
