What do The Simpsons and the Harry Potter series have in common? For one, we have all grown up watching them. The Simpsons is the longest-running American animated series in television history. Harry Potter has been around for more than a decade now, with the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, published in 1997. They have also made a huge impact in the pop culture phenomena. The stars have now become household names. Homer and Homer (they both start with H) are included in EW’s list of The Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years, with Homer topping the list and Harry placing second. The animated series had some of the biggest names in the industry to lend their voices on the characters, while in the big screen adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s best-selling series, almost every known British working actors have appeared in the movies. Just watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows online to see who is not included.
And come this fall, just a few weeks before the first part of the epic finale of the Harry Potter series, Daniel Radcliffe is slated to guest star in The Simpson’s Treehoouse of Horror XXI. In the traditional Halloween special, the Harry Potter star will voice Edmund, a character reminiscent of Edward Cullen in Twilight, brought to the big screen by Robert Pattinson. Radcliffe and Pattinson are considered as their movies and fans were pitted against each other.
In the second segment entitled Tweenlight, Edmund is the new mysterious student in Springfield Elementary School. Lisa Simpson then gets intrigued by him. He later saves her from getting hit by the schoolbus. Even if she learned that he was a vampire, their romance soon blossomed. The pair soon decided to leave everybody behind and elope to Dracula-la Land, with Lisa being turned into a vampire. But Homer will go and save her from becoming a bloodsucker.
But if you don’t Radcliffe from becoming an emo-looking, brooding vampire and just want him to stay as an orphaned wizard, watch Harry Potter 7 Part I online. It will also be shown in theaters on November 19, 2010.
