  • National Movie Awards
  • Golden Apple Award

  • Liked to play pranks when he was 10. He took co-star Robbie Coltrane s cellular phone and changed it so all the messages were in Turkish.
  • Has two border terriers named Binka and Nugget.
  • Tried reading the first Harry Potter book when he was 8 years old, but was unable to finish it. Finally read the entire book when he was cast in the lead role of the film.
  • Has never actually seen the film The Tailor of Panama in which he appeared.
  • His favorite book from the Harry Potter series so far is number three, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
  • (February 2002) He was nominated for and won "Best Newcomer" at the Variety Club Award ceremonies.
  • Received the Sir James Carreras Award for Outstanding New Talent for his role in Harry Potter at The Variety Club Show Business Awards 2002.
  • Voted Person of the Year 2002 by Time Kids.
  • Has stated that 12 Angry Men is the first black-and-white film he ever saw and is also his favorite film.
  • David Heyman , the producer for the Harry Potter films happened to be at a play that both Dan and Dans father, Alan Radcliffe , were at. After Heyman spotted Radcliffe, since both men knew each other, he was introduced to his son and when Heyman saw Daniel he thought he looked perfect for the part.

  • [on believing in magic] Absolutely. 100 percent.
  • I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said,"Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?" and I started to cry.
  • Too many little numbers on one page! - about math.
  • I played a trick on the make-up department where I put a fake blood,capsule in my mouth, pretended to trip on the stairs and let the blood,come out of my mouth. They really fell for it, then they chased after,me with a water pistol.
  • I feel okay about my body. Not totally, of course, no one my age does. . .
  • People will always remember Harry, but I think if I work hard enough,other characters will stick in their minds as well.
  • We like tearing down our own in England. If you look at what happened to,Ken Branagh in the 1990s: all of the newspapers built him up, the new,Olivier, and then destroyed him and his personal life.
  • [on receiving the script for The Woman in Black (2012) ] It was a,page-turner. What I liked about it was that it was a horror film, but,it was unusual for a horror film to be so character-driven, to have,such deep and affecting themes - themes of loss and what happens when,we fail to move on from the loss.
  • [on occasionally being drunk while impersonating Harry Potter] I can,point to many scenes where I am just gone. Dead behind the eyes.
  • I like action movies and I feel there used to be lots of really witty,ones, like Die Hard (1988) and Lethal Weapon (1987) and,the Bourne movies, but the good ones are few and far between now.
