Interview: Daniel Radcliffe

-Hi Daniel, how are you? I know that you are a superstar and I would like to know something else about your life.

-Where and when did you born?

-Hi. I was born on 23 July 1989 in West London, England.

- Please, talk me about your experience in “Harry Potter”: Wow did you get started?

- I started as Harry at the age of eleven, I have starred in eight Harry Potter films since 2001, with the final instalment released in July 2011.

The author had been searching for an unknown British actor to personify the character. However, my parents did not want me to audition for the role as the contract required shooting all seven films in Los Angeles, California, so they did not tell me. Once the movie's director Chris Columbus saw a video of the young actor in David Copperfield, he recalled thinking, "This is what I want. This is Harry Potter". Eight months later, after several auditions, I was selected to play the part.

-How was your life at school?

-I was not very good at school, I considered it useless, and I found the work to be "really, really difficult."

- And how much did you get for your films?

- I am reported to have earned £1 million for the first Potter film and around £15 million for the sixth movie.
