Today Daniel Radcliffe turns a year older, celebrating his birthday on July 23. The actor has played numerous amazing roles and has given blockbusters. However, he will always be renowned for the Harry Potter franchise.
For the majority of us, he will always be a wizard who entered Hogwarts for the first time when he was 11 years old and years later killed Voldemort. That 11 year old ‘Harry Potter’ today has turned 32 and it’s impossible to believe.
But, the reality is Daniel has come a long way since then and has had a remarkable journey in the film industry that still continues. Here are some of his astonishing works (other than Harry Potter) on his birthday that never fails to impress.
