Biography: As a young boy, he performed in many small school productions. A while later, he was cast as young David Copperfield in "David Copperfield". Actress Jamie Lee Curtis pointed out to Radcliffe's mother that he could be Harry Potter. Not too long afterwards, Daniel was indeed cast as Harry by director Chris Columbus. His role as Harry in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" caused him to become quite popular.

Daniel, like a lot of youngsters, likes to play pranks. He has two dogs named Binka and Nugget and they are both border terriers. He originally dislikes the Harry Potter books when he first read them. When he was 8, he tried to read "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" but he never finished it until he became part of the film. His favourite Harry Potter book so far is "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".

He has never seen "The Tailor of Panama" which he was a part of.

He enjoys playing on his Playstation, listening to music, writing, running, football (soccer) and some other sports. He is a fan of indie rock. Some of his favourite bands are The Stereophonics, R.E.M., U2, Jane's Addiction, The Libertines, Rage Against the Machine, Stratovarius, Huey Lewis, The News, Tom Robinson and The Darkness. He also enjoys Blur, Muse, The Music, Zwan, Brendan Benson, The Zutons, Razorlight, Bloc Party, Sex Pistols, Hope of the States, The Futureheads, Kaiser Chiefs and Red Hot Chili Peppers

In February of 2002 he was awarded "Best Newcomer" at the Variety Club 'Award' Ceremonies. At the Variety Club Showbusiness Awards in 2002, he received the Sir James Carreras Award for "Outstanding New Talent" for his role in Harry Potter. He was voted "Person of the Year 2002" by Time Kids. In 2003, he won "Best Young Actor" at the SyFy Genre Awards for his performance in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and again in 2005 for "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" in this same category.

12 Angry Men is the first black and white film that he ever saw and it is also his favourite film.

The casting agent for the Harry Potter films was one of Dan's father's friends and on seeing Dan, he thought he would be perfect for the part of Harry Potter. He auditioned for it and got it.

In February 23rd 2004, The Sun listed him as Britain's third richest teenager. He was behind Prince Harry Windsor and Charlotte Church. He has earned about 6 million pounds so far.

Daniel can rotate his arm at a 360 degree angle. He is a fan of the Fulham Football Club. He is learned to play bass guitar and is a big fan of Gary Oldman.

His favourite actors include Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller and Scarlett Johansson.

There were delays between filming Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because his parents wanted him to be able to attend normal school for a while.

He doesn't read any articles or reviews about himself or his movies.
