My sincere condolences to the Radcliffe family. I hope that everyone who really cares about Daniel Radcliffe will understand his need to attend his grandmother's memorial service. Entertainment is his job, but his grandmother's death has got to be very painful to him in his personal life. We all expect to get time off from work for a death in the family. I certainly hope he does go to her service.
