His real name ::: Daniel Radcliffe 100% Sure
Early life
Daniel Radcliffe was born in Fulham, London, the only child of Alan Radcliffe, a literary agent, and Marcia Gresham, a casting agent who was involved in several films for the BBC. He has two dogs, called Binka and Nugget. Radcliffe is Jewish on his mother's side and Protestant on his father's, although he is not religious.[2] Radcliffe first expressed a desire to act at the age of five. In December 1999, he made his acting debut in the BBC's televised version of the Dickens novel David Copperfield, portraying the title character as a young boy.
[edit] Career
In August 2000, after several auditions, he was selected for his most prominent role to date; Harry Potter in the big-budget adaptations of the popular book series by J.K. Rowling. Radcliffe made his film debut in 2001 with a supporting role in the The Tailor of Panama, with the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (United States title: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), which became one of the highest grossing films of all time, released later in the year.
Radcliffe has gone on to star in four of the Harry Potter sequels: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix scheduled for release on July 13, 2007. The films have continued to produce high box office results worldwide.

In 2002, Radcliffe appeared as a guest in the West End production The Play What I Wrote directed by Kenneth Branagh (who appeared with Radcliffe in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). In 2006, he appeared in the television series Extras, playing a parody of himself. Continuing to make the transition from child to adult actor, Radcliffe's most recent film is the independent Australian drama December Boys, scheduled for a December 2006 release. Radcliffe will also appear in a revival of Peter Shaffer's play Equus as Alan Strang, a stable boy who has an obsession with horses. The latter role has generated significant media interest, as Radcliffe will appear nude in one scene in the play.[3] Radcliffe has also signed on for the ITV drama My Boy Jack as Jack Kipling, son of author Rudyard Kipling. Filming is scheduled for July 2007.[4]
At the age of sixteen, Radcliffe became the youngest non-royal ever to have an individual portrait in Britain's National Portrait Gallery. On 13 April 2006, his portrait, drawn by Stuart Pearson Wright, was unveiled as part of a new exhibition opening at London's Royal National Theatre, then moved to the National Portrait Gallery where it resides.[5] Radcliffe was fourteen at the time of the portrait's creation.
Personal life
Radcliffe previously attended the Sussex House School and is educated at the City of London School as of 2006. He achieved straight A grades in the three AS-levels he sat for in 2006,[6] and is scheduled to take a break from education in the academic year 2006-07 to focus on his acting career.
Radcliffe plays bass guitar (he was taught by Gary Oldman) and is a fan of punk rock music; he admires a diverse lineup of bands, from Sex Pistols to Hope of the States[7] He is a fan of Fulham Football Club. While on set, to keep busy, he enjoys playing table tennis and video games with his cast members.
Radcliffe's personal fortune now exceeds GB£14 million, making him one of the richest teenagers in the United Kingdom.[8] He is reported to have earned approximately £250,000 for the first Potter film, around £5.6 million for the fourth film, and is expected to earn more than £8 million for the next film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.[9] Radcliffe has been a supporter of various charities, including Demelza House Children's Hospice, to which he has requested fans make donations in lieu of sending him birthday presents.
