Daniel Radcliffe as the Boy Wizard, Harry Potter

"I was in the bath," answered young Daniel Radcliffe, then 12-years-old, "and I just cried," during an interview at the premiere night of the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone to other countries), when he found out he bagged the world's most famous movie role.

Indeed, who would not cry when you found out, a young down-to-earth lad would be playing the famous boy wizard Harry Potter. Inspired by the original novels of J. K. Rowling, Daniel Jacob Radcliffe turned successful, now on the title role on four Harry Potter movies (recently, the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire released 18th November 2005), and Harry Potter fans crowded the streets all over the world to have Dan signed the autographs, picture taking, or lucky, shake hands with him.

Daniel started the Harry Potter role at the age of 11, and now, at the rightful age of 16, he continues to inspire Harry Potter book fans in making Harry Potter to life. Under three directors now, Daniel and his co-stars (Emma Watson as Hermione Granger and Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley) matured regarding their acting skills and behavior.

Other co-stars Robbie Coltrane (plays Rubeus Hagrid) and Gary Oldman (as Sirius Black) stated that the three actors (Radcliffe, Watson and Grint) put concentration on their roles, unlike before on their childish actions (and turning Coltrane's phone to Turkish) was way too far into consideration that they have grown. Filming together for four movies, they have been together to places, to meeting new people, and to meeting old friends at the set, and looking back, all Harry Potter movies are phenomenon.

Radcliffe had mentioned on a TV guesting interview that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will start filming on February 2006! So, it's a must-wait for us fans. *wink, wink*
