For millions of fans around the world, he'll always be the "Boy Who Lived."
Daniel Radcliffe is celebrating his 37th birthday on July 23, more than two decades after he was cast as Harry Potter, the role that transformed him from a little-known child actor into one of the most recognizable faces in the world.
Radcliffe was just 11 years old when Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone premiered in 2001. Over the next 10 years, he starred in all eight films based on J.K. Rowling's bestselling novels, helping turn the franchise into one of the highest-grossing in movie history.
By the time Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 arrived in theaters in 2011, the series had grossed billions worldwide and cemented its place as one of pop culture's most enduring phenomena.
Rather than spend the rest of his career chasing blockbuster roles, Radcliffe took an unexpected path. He gravitated toward independent films and stage productions, earning praise for performances in projects like The Woman in Black, Swiss Army Man, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story and Broadway's Merrily We Roll Along, which earned him a Tony Award in 2024.
The actor has often spoken about wanting to challenge himself by taking unconventional roles that allow him to keep growing as a performer, even if they aren't the biggest box office draws.
Off-screen, Radcliffe welcomed his first child with longtime partner Erin Darke in 2023. While he has largely kept his family life private, he has shared that becoming a father has changed his perspective and inspired him both personally and professionally.

Even as he continues exploring new creative opportunities, Radcliffe's connection to Harry Potter remains as strong as ever. Generations of fans continue discovering the Wizarding World through the books, films and streaming, ensuring his performance as the young wizard lives on for new audiences.
At 37, Radcliffe has successfully reinvented himself while embracing the role that made him famous. But for fans who grew up waiting for their Hogwarts letter, he'll always be remembered as the boy who brought Harry Potter to life.
