Daniel Radcliffe:
Daniel Jacob
Radcliffe was born on July 23rd, 1989 to Alan Radcliffe and Marcia Gresham. He began performing in small school productions as a young boy. Soon enough, he landed a role in David Copperfield (1999) (TV), as the young David Copperfield. A couple of years later, he landed a role as Mark Pendel in Tailor of Panama, The (2001), the son of Harry and Louisa Pendel ( Geoffrey Rush and Jamie Lee Curtis). Curtis had indeed pointed out to Daniel's mother that he could be Harry Potter himself. Soon afterwards,
Daniel was cast as Harry Potter by director, Chris Columbus in the film that hit theaters in November 16, 2001, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001). He was recognized worldwide after this film was released. Pleasing audiences and critics everywhere,
filming on its sequel, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) commenced shortly afterwards. He appeared again as Harry in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) directed by Alfonso Cuarón, and will also be in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005).
Now being one of the world's most recognizable people, Daniel leads a somewhat normal life. He
has made friends working on the Harry Potter films, which include his co-stars Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Hopefully, he will continue his blossoming acting career and be truly brilliant.
Emma Watson:
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was
born in Oxfordshire, England on April 15, 1990. At school, she took the lead role in several plays, including 'Arthur: The
Young Years' and 'The Happy Prince'. Along with plays, Emma participated in many other school productions, including the Daisy
Pratt Poetry Competition, in which she won first place for her year at age seven. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), is Emma's debut into the world of professional acting. Competing against many other girls for the role of Hermione Granger, she didn't expect
to get the part.
Away from the cinematic world, Emma enjoys playing hockey most of all, and she also likes debating.
Although her hair is brown in the movie, she's naturally a blonde. She once dressed up as a witch for Halloween, but she had
no idea that years later, she would be playing one in the Harry Potter movie. Her parents, Jacqueline and Chris, who are lawyers,
are divorced. Emma lives with her mother and younger brother Alex. Her role models are Julia Roberts, Goldie Hawn, John Cleese and Sandra Bullock.
Rupert Grint
Rupert Michael Grint was
born on August 24, 1988 in Hertfordshire, England, UK. Although only acting in one school play before being cast in the popular
wizard series, "Harry Potter", Rupert has already proved himself one of the most recognized actors on the big screen. When
he heard that there was going to be auditions for "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", he decided to go for it.
Unlike
the other children who were auditioning, Rupert came in with a rap that promoted the character he was auditioning for, Ronald
Weasley, and was chosen soon afterwards. 'Sorcerer's Stone' was a big hit, as was the follow-up, 'Chamber of Secrets', and
he has already filmed episode three, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), which was released on Friday, June 4, 2004. He is currently filming the fourth movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005).
Tom Felton:
Tom Felton has been acting since
he was eight-years-old. He stumbled into the entertainment industry at the suggestion of an actress friend of the family who
recognized Felton's theatrical qualities. Felton met with an agent, and two weeks later, after auditioning with over four
hundred other children, he landed an international commercial campaign and went abroad to work.
Tom is a talented singer.
He started singing in a church choir at the age of 7 and has been a member of four choirs at school and was even offered a
place in the Guildford Cathedral Choir. He is a keen sportsman enjoying football, iceskating, roller blading, basketball,
cricket, swimming and tennis.
