Daniel Radcliffe Birthday: Daniel Radcliffe has turned 31 today. The Harry Potter of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has won millions of hearts worldwide with his magical acting. The extremely talented actor began his career at an early age and grabbed the spotlight at only 11 years old when Maggie Smith (Professor McGonnagall) recommended him to the casting director of Harry Potter. He has acted in a TV mini-series, “David Copperfield”, with Smith. Since then, 17 years have passed and he is now one of the most well-known actors of this generation.

Millions of fans have taken to social media to wish the famous actor. Radcliffe took to his Instagram handle to share a post to mark his Birthday along with a caption that read, “Happy Birthday to the Talented Daniel Radcliffe.” His 2.6 million fans flooded his account with their warm wishes and blessings.

Daniel Radcliffe’s equation with other celebrities

However, no one really knows the “real” Daniel Radcliffe. In reality, as Emma Watson once said, “He was, and always will be, the perfect Harry Potter.” Why? Fans of the books fell in love with the character of Harry, not just for his heroic antics, but also his sassy, and comical, remarks. Outside of his Harry Potter role, Daniel Radcliffe also is known for his comical remarks. In a way, this makes the multi-billionaire relatable to anyone.

The 90s kids have grown up with Daniel Radcliffe and, on most occasions, had an opinion on his changing hairstyles, his unique roles, and ever-increasing attractiveness
His overall charm just increased with every public appearance, interview, and performance since Harry Potter ended.

Daniel Radcliffe in Real Life

Radcliffe is extremely philanthropically minded, offering his support to a wide range of charities and causes. He even auctioned off his ‘Hogwarts crew’ T-shirt from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in aid of Rebuilding Sri Lanka, following the tsunami.
Radcliffe showed us his selfless side again in 2017 when he rushed to the aid of a tourist who had been slashed in the face by muggers on mopeds. The incident occurred in Chelsea, London when a Louis Vuitton bag was snatched from a man in his 50s.

The victim was visibly shaken after the incident, but a witness told police, “[Radcliffe] was a really nice bloke. A lot of stars wouldn’t have stopped to help.” Good for you, Dan.
Radcliffe has a good sense of humour. He doesn’t take himself too seriously (he prefers ‘Dan’ to Daniel) and even enjoys being the butt of some jokes.
