you have severe pain in your stomach area which may be pancreatitis. tell your doctor right away and stop taking januvia if you have an allergic reaction that causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or affects your breathing or causes rash or hives. kidney problems sometimes requiring dialysis have been reported. some people may develop severe joint pain. call your doctor if this happens. using januvia with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. to reduce the risk, your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of the sulfonylurea or insulin. your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment to check your kidneys. if you have kidney problems a lower dose may be prescribed. side effects may include upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, and headache. for help lowering your blood sugar talk to your doctor about januvia.

daniel radcliffe, no stranger to magic afterall he played the role of harry in the iconic potter series, now he's back as a villain actually, kind of, in the sequel, now you see me two where he plays the recruited four horsemen to steal a valuable computer chip that could potentially rule the world. take a look. >> why would i buy it when i can have you steal it for me? preview tomorrow is the various suitors. that's up to you. but, once you do, you just need to inspect it and steal it. >> that's it? >> you're magicians and thieves. >> what makes you consider you would do this.

>> oh wait, i have a reason, what was it? oh yes, if you don't, i'll have you killed. >> good to see you. >> were you a fan as a kid. >> yeah, i think a marvin's magic, like junior magic set. >> 1999. >> just trying desperately to try to get good at that. then on the set there were people that would like teach us tricks. i managed to come out with a few tricks. >> the big deal when you look at potter magic versus this, it's special effects, and this, you and your cast members you were practicing real tricks. >> yeah, dave franco is lentil matly amazing at the stuff he does in the film. and yeah, just to like have a job where you get to -- this sequence is amazing. i love this. the idea of like slight handing to steal stuff is so cool.

and yeah, we were all on set with these amazing magicians who would like give us lessons, what kind of job is that? >> the limit of my magical talent is when i pull the penny out of my kid's ear, and they're 15 and they still don't get it. >> that's a great trick. talk about the character here, i call him a villain, do you go out after being known as the good guy and the fun protagonist, do you go out looking for a role like this. >> i think it definitely fulfills a long held ambition to like play that sort of classic bad guy. there's a rich tradition of britts being bad guys. i've always wanted to do that. i don't know if i'll do it all the time, but the chance to do it now, woody and michael and incredible actors was too good to pass up. >> things are going well for

you will be encouraged to keep your phones turned on for the duration of the performance. it's called "privacy," but it, and it's really, i think it's something very, very special and fun. >> we've got a potter prequel movie coming out. a play going in london. have you been able to remove yourself from that phenomenon? >> it's not that i'm like unemotional about it, but i don't -- yeah, i mean, i'm sort of now in a straeng position of anyone assumes i have a lot of information or, you know, i'm going to be very involved in these things, but like i'm genuinely not. like i wish them nothing but obviously success, i'm sure they'll be great, but i'm kind of like finding out with everyone else. >> you're a spectator with the rest of us. things going great. what a pleasure. and i want to tell people that now you see me two hits theaters
