To present a Tony is a big honor, I'm very happy for Dan.
Step by step he is having a wonderful acting career.

Presenting will be a huge thrill for Dan, I'm sure, but nowhere near as big a thrill as WINNING a Tony Award next year will be! Yes, I predict Dan will win a Tony for his role in Equus at next year's awards.

They are probably going to ceremony to start the publicity bandwagon for Equus. I am sure that Equus will win some Tonys at next year's ceremony.

Nice to see him get continued attention for his Broadway work. It gave him a nice chance to demonstrate the range of talents he has.

I absolutely cannot wait to see them two appear! I'm sure they'll share some snarky comments about the upcoming production of Equus in New York. :D

Radcliffe is certainly in a higher acting level than the rest of HP young cast. I admire how serious he takes acting and how hard he works to keep learning and improving.
The Tony Awards are the most respected acting awards in the world, so I'm happy for Daniel and also for the Harry Potter movies, because this kind of things make people take them more seriously.

Wonderful!! Great honor for Dan!I am so proud of him!
I can hardly wait to see him and hear him speak
again.Hoping next year he will be there again .....only next time to receive.
There would be no reson for Emma to be at the Tony's ,she has yet to do theatre and this is not HP related.

I am so happy for Dan! I can't wait to see him present an award! That is a very high honor, and I have to agree with the other comments, I hope he will be on the receiving end next year. I have an answer to one comment about Equus coming to Broadway. It will be towards the end of September or so I read. He'll probably be in New York again the whole of September. It would be so great to see the play.

Congratulations, Dan! He's going to have such a wonderful time and be extremely good, I'm sure of it! He really does deserve this, and it's grand that he'll be reprising his role in Equus.

What an absolute honour for Daniel! I am hoping that he will also pick-up a Tony for his work on Equus - one can only hope his talent beyond Harry Potter is recognised!

Wow, I have to watch this! I didn't realize how close that is! I find it odd that they're going to come to the US so early. I heard rehearsel and auditions(if there are any) don't start until August. Maybe they're just flying out for that day to be here.
I honestly hope Dan does a lot of theater work in his lifetime. Then we can see him live and in person more often!
