   Daniel Radcliffe had had a passion for acting since he was just a 5-year-old child. His parents weren’t thrilled of the idea and they did not encourage Daniel to go for movie roles. He’s first acting role, however, came in 1999 when Daniel was cast as young David Copperfield in ‘David Copperfield’ and he starred along side Dame Maggie Smith and Bob Hoskins. Daniels performance was described as 'heartbreaking'. After that, the young actor made an appearance in ‘The Tailor of Panama’ in 2001 having a change to act with Jamie Lee Curtis, Geoffrey Rush and Pierce Brosnan. But the movie that was going to make Daniel one of the most famous teenagers nowadays was yet to come. The casting for Harry Potter movies had been started long ago and many young boys had auditioned to get the role of Harry. It was Daniel, however, who got the part. Daniel was in theatre when producer David Heyman first saw him. Daniel’s father Alan knew David from work and he introduced Daniel to David. Daniel was asked to audition for Harry Potter and he went through couple of auditions and was then cast to play Harry Potter.

   After a while away from cinema world, Daniel returned to shoot the third Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in which he had the opportunity to play alongside his idol, Gary Oldman. After the release of PoA Daniel has made several TV appearances and he, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have all received many compliments of their work in the third movie.
