Daniel Jacob Radcliffe (born July 23, 1989), from Fulham West London, is a British actor who is best known for playing Harry Potter, the main character of the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and its sequels.

Radcliffe's parents, Alan Radcliffe and Marcia Gresham, discouraged their only child from showbusiness when, at age 5, he said he wanted to perform. However, they must have soon changed their minds, as in December 1999, he made his first on-screen appearance as the young David Copperfield in David Copperfield, the BBC's televised version of the Dickens novel David Copperfield. This was followed in 2001 by his first film appearance, as Mark Pendel in The Tailor of Panama. He has also starred in the movies Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. He is currently filming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. He is currently being educated at the City of London School in London. He lives with his mother and father in their furnished attic, which is his new bedroom. He has two dogs named Binka and Nugget.

Daniel prefers being called Dan and he plays the bass guitar and once had a bass lesson from Prisoner of Azkaban co-star Gary Oldman.
