Potter's plea for prezzies
By JAMES TAPPER

HARRY Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has caused a flood of donations to a children’s hospice — after begging fans to send Christmas gifts to the charity instead of him.


Daniel, 13, and his family have been plagued by well-meaning fans who flock to his London home to deliver gifts.

It started after Daniel starred in the first movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

In the film Harry has been deprived of gifts by his foster family and gets his first prezzies when he goes to Hogwarts.

Ever since, fans have confused the movie with real life and sent Daniel presents on his birthday in July and at Christmas.

But this Christmas Daniel announced on his website that he wanted fans to give donations to a children’s hospice in Sittingbourne, Kent, instead.

He said on his website: “In the past my fans have been truly generous in sending me fantastic presents.

“I appreciate these and feel very fortunate to have such loyal fans.

“However, this Christmas, I would like to ask instead of sending me a gift they make a donation to Demelza House, a fantastic children’s hospice that I support.

“The spirit of the place is amazing and the people who work there are extraordinary. I feel very humble when I visit it.”

The hospice, which gives terminally ill kids a holiday, refused to comment last night.
