Things Get Harry at #1 Morton Square

Residents of the most fashionable, high-end NYC apartments have made an art of being unimpressed by the celebrities next door, even when the inevitable hijinks ensue.

After all, enduring the deranged shrieking of a high-profile nervous breakdown or stepping over the burnt-out candle stubs and puckered photographs of an impromptu shrine are minor inconveniences when compared to the sharp increase in real estate value that inevitably befalls a building brushed with greatness[NYM].

But what can residents of #1 Morton Square expect when young Daniel Radcliff moves into his $4.9 million, three-bedroom corner digs [NYT]?

Best known for his role as Harry Potter in the enormously popular movie franchise, some news sources are playfully speculating whether Mr. Radcliff’s new neighbors will have to steel their nerves for an influx of mythical beasts and otherworldly creatures--but that’s just silly, of course. With Amy Poehler and the Olson twins already living in the building, residents of #1 Morton Square have been dealing with an elf problem for a while now.
