Daniel Radcliffe plays Harry Potter in the film series based on J.K. Rowling’s books. He portrays the central character across all eight Harry Potter films released between 2001 and 2011.
Harry is an orphan who discovers on his eleventh birthday that he is a wizard. At Hogwarts, he becomes close friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger while facing the continuing threat of Lord Voldemort, the dark wizard connected to his past.
Radcliffe was eleven when Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was released in 2001. The film series split the final novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, into two films. This is why the seven novels produced eight feature films, rather than seven.
