Ever since becoming a wizard at the age of 12, Daniel Radcliffe has been an international star.

Seemingly tailor-made for the role of Harry Potter, the young actor went from complete unknown to superstar overnight -- and he'd barely hit puberty. Since his days in the blockbuster franchise, Radcliffe has starred on Broadway and in indie movies, earning critical acclaim and shedding his child star image along the way. This fall, the (still) young actor stars in the devilish "Horns."

London, November 9: Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that hewould never have been Harry Potter if his parents had their way as they were concerned about impact the part would have on him.

The 24-year-old English actor's parents, Marcia Gresham and Alan Radcliffe, didn't want him getting the part and had said no when he was asked to audition, and also hid the offer from him, the Mirror reported.

The 'Horns' star confirmed that he almost lost the role as his mother had tried to talk him out of it as they hadn't had great experiences as actors.

The reason his parents were apprehensive was because the deal mentioned.

It's only the second day previews for Broadway's Equus, but Daniel Radcliffe has made it clear he loves his new home. "I love New York very much, yes!

The filming of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix is returning to its original British location after the parents of Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe voiced safety fears over filming in the Czech Republic. The fifth big screen installment appeared destined to have a Czech location after Warner Bros executives announced earlier this year they were dismantling movie sets at Leavesden studios in Hertfordshire, and rebuilding them in Prague to save production costs. But Daniel's parents, Alan Radcliffe and Marcia Gresham, told producers they were concerned at letting their son - who turns 15 next month - spending long periods of time in a city increasingly famous for its wild nightlife and growing sex industry. As a result the most of the filming will now take place at the original Leavesden studios. A crewmember says, "Some of it is going to happen in Prague but we have been told that most of the filming is going to happen here. It's because of Daniel's parents, and you can see their point. Prague is not the place for a 15-year-old boy to spend several months in." The fourth movie, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, hits cinemas this November .

Teen actor Daniel Radcliffe's mother has dismissed as "rubbish" rumors that her son will not be appearing in another Harry Potter film. Marcia Gresham leapt to the defense of her 13-year-old, following persistent talk of his poor academic performance. And the protective mom denies Daniel is facing a choice between schoolwork and his role as the young wizard. She says, "It is all rubbish." Movie insiders confirm Daniel is contracted to star in the next movie based on JK Rowling's books. A source says, "Daniel will be in the fourth film, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. There is not a grain of truth in reports that his schoolwork has been suffering. He has had the best results ever. His schoolwork has never been better - he is a very hardworking young man."...
