Daniel Radcliff BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Daniel Radcliffe has had quite the week in the spotlight. On December first, the thirty-six year old actor reunited with his former Harry Potter co-star Tom Felton in New York City at a special screening of Merrily We Roll Along. According to People magazine, which was on site for the moment, this marked their first public appearance together in over a decade, since two thousand eleven. The two shared a warm embrace and posed for photographs at the Hudson Theatre, reigniting nostalgia among fans of the wizarding franchise. Radcliffe and Felton, who played Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy respectively, first met on set nearly twenty-four years ago while filming the original Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Despite their characters' on-screen rivalry, the actors have maintained a genuine friendship off-screen.

The reunion comes as Radcliffe continues his Broadway momentum. His filmed performance in Merrily We Roll Along, the acclaimed two thousand twenty-three revival, is set to hit theaters on December fifth. During a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Radcliffe described watching the filmed performance as both cringeworthy and rewarding, particularly when viewing scenes with his co-stars Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez.

Meanwhile, Felton is currently starring in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway, reprising his role as Draco Malfoy in the stage sequel. The production recently posted record-breaking box office numbers, earning more than three point one five million dollars during Thanksgiving week. On Good Morning America in November, Felton revealed that Radcliffe inspired him to pursue theater, crediting the Tony Award winner as a significant influence on his career trajectory.

On the Harry Potter front, Radcliffe has been extending his legacy to the next generation. The eleven-year-old actor Dominic McLaughlin, who has been cast as Harry Potter in HBO's upcoming adaptation, revealed on BBC's Saturday Mash-Up Live that he received a heartfelt letter from Radcliffe. McLaughlin described the moment as surreal, stating he was going mad when he discovered the signature Dan R at the bottom. Radcliffe explained on Good Morning America that he wanted to pass the torch to the young actor and wish him well, hoping McLaughlin would have an even better experience than he did. Radcliffe emphasized he didn't want to be a spectre in the light of these children, but expressed genuine excitement about the next generation taking on these iconic roles.
