Which Harry Potter character was played by Daniel Radcliffe in the film series?

Daniel Radcliffe played Harry Potter in the Harry Potter film series.

Radcliffe portrayed the central character in all eight films adapted from J.K. Rowling’s seven novels. The final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was divided into two films, creating the eight-film total.

He was cast as Harry after producer David Heyman and director Chris Columbus saw him in a BBC television adaptation of David Copperfield. Harry is the orphaned wizard at the center of Rowling’s story, whose conflict with Lord Voldemort drives the series.

Radcliffe was twelve when Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was released in 2001. The films also made Rupert Grint internationally known as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. Radcliffe continued acting after the franchise, appearing in stage productions, independent films, and other major movies.
