Youth

Harry Potter success and salaries
In 2000, Radcliffe was invited to audition for the lead role in the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (released as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the US). After a series of call-back auditions and an eight-month wait, he was offered the role. It will become the eruption that brought him international fame and fortune.
The first Harry Potter movie was released in 2001, and the young Daniel received a salary of 1 million dollars. The second film of the series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, was released later and achieved a similar success at the box office. It also earned Radcliffe a $3 million fee. While these figures sound high to most of us, they are nothing compared to the salaries that Radcliffe would command for the remaining films in the series.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, released in 2004, earned Radcliffe a $6 million payday. He went on to earn $11 million for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and $14 million for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, released in 2005 and 2007, respectively. The sixth film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, brought him Daniel another 24 million dollars.

In 2006, Radcliffe and his two co-stars, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, were invited to leave their hand, foot and wand prints outside the Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

Other work
Although Daniel’s early career focused on the Harry Potter franchise, he played other roles during those years. His film debut took place in 2001, when he appeared in The Taylor of Panama, with Pierce Brosnan in the lead role.

It was a significant departure from his typical youth roles and showed the world that he had the acting talent to expand his repertoire. Advance sales for the show exceeded £1.7 million, and the role generated prior media interest before opening, in part because Radcliffe appeared in a nude scene. His performance received positive reviews, and critics were impressed by the depth of his contra role.
Shortly after the end of the Harry Potter franchise, he appeared on stage in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and again received favorable reviews. In 2012, he appeared in The Woman in Black, his first post-Harry Potter film project. He continues to sing on stage and in films.
