Daniel Radcliffe

At the young age of only 12, Daniel Radcliffe entered the magical world when he was cast the starring role of Harry Potter in the first movie of the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone movie in 2001. The movies were based on a series of books written by J. K. Rowling. Radcliffe began his career as an actor in 1999 and before that was very active in school productions as a young boy. Though Radcliffe starred in a few minor rolls before taking on the job of playing a mature young character who discovers his real life at the age of 11 and living a lie until then, when Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone came out November 16th, 2001, was when his career really sky rocketed.

Since the first Harry Potter movie, Radcliffe's life has been pretty busy with the following movies of the series. He has starred in other movies but is mostly known for the courageous, intelligent, wizard Harry Potter. The story lines of these movies keeps the viewers interested in the movie by mixing in different emotions. My favorite Harry Potter movie is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. This specific film is very suspenseful, it brings happiness, and also adds sadness when Harry has to say good bye to his newly found God father who he feels is his only family member left, other then his wretched Aunt, Uncle and cousin, the Dursley's who have treated Harry like crap since the day they found him on their door step.

To some people, the movies of Harry Potter are a waste of time because they are non-fictional and they don't believe in the story line. To me, the Harry Potter movies are fantastic, they bring a sense of adventure and shows us that everyone has their own little world, and no matter how fake it is to others, to that one person, it's their safe place where they can be themselves. Daniel Radcliffe does an amazing job in playing the role of a teenage wizard going through challenges in the wizzarding world. He has won different awards for his acting and was nominated for many others. There is two more Harry Potter movies yet to be released and that will be the end of the series, the last book is being split into two movies to get all the detail needed to make it the kind of ending that is sad, but yet happy because the bad guys lost. My advise is to watch the movies and develop your own opinion about the actor, but to me, I think he's the perfect Harry Potter.
