News about Daniel Radcliffe

Ms Rowling first came upon the idea for Harry Potter, played in the films by Daniel Radcliffe , below, in 1990 while delayed on a train from Manchester to London .

Can there be too much real life in a real-life drama? What if the true crime in a true crime series is telling too much that is true? And who owns the moral rights to anyone's life story anyway? All these questions have been thrown into focus by Baby Reindeer, comedian Richard Gadd's seven-part television series about his own experience as a ­victim of stalking. To his surprise as much as anyone's, the modestly budgeted show has become an unexpected global hit. Since it was launched two weeks ago, coincidentally - one hopes - just in time for National Stalking Awareness Week, Baby Reindeer has become the number-one Netflix streaming show around the world, topping the charts from America to Australia and beyond.

Our brilliant advice columnist Bel Mooney has answered thousands of readers' letters over the years. This week, we imagine what actor Daniel Radcliffe might write in a letter to Bel. Dear Bel, I hope you can help me with something that's become a toxic row. As a child, I was picked from thousands of hopefuls by a powerful female author and given the opportunity of a lifetime. It led to fame, fortune and riches beyond most young men's dreams. As I've publicly admitted, nothing in my life would have happened without her. But I have struggled with certain views she holds. I believe, like many young people, that trans women are women, while she argues forcefully against it. This ugly rift has led to her even saying that she wouldn't forgive me for my opinions. The whole row has made me deeply sad, and I don't see a way that we can ever make up. So Bel, do you think I should have bowed down to her views?

Daniel Radcliffe reignited a row with JK Rowling this week admitting that just because the author made him a star, his views on gender ideology do not have to align with hers. The actor, 34, initially fell out with the Scottish writer after he penned an article declaring 'transgender women are women' shortly after Rowling criticised using the phrase 'people who menstruate' rather than women. Now, the Harry Potter star and the author he owes he career to no longer speak. It comes after Rowling insisted last month that she would never forgive the younger stars of the film franchise for speaking out against her views on trans rights.

Rupert Grint cut a casual figure as he stepped out for a stroll with his partner Georgia Groome in Notting Hill, London on Wednesday. The actor, 35, opted for a laid back look for the day as he sported a black T-shirt with matching trousers and a dark jacket. Georgia also kept it casual as she opted for a grey printed jumper with blue jeans and a pair of black shoes.

Daniel Radcliffe (left) has reignited a row with JK Rowling (right) over trans views by saying his beliefs don't have to align with the author's just because she made him a star. The actor, 34, and fellow Harry Potter stars Emma Watson, 34, and Rupert Grint, 35, have been outspoken in their support of gender ideology - that biologically male trans women are actually women. Yet although Radcliffe admitted 'nothing in my life' would likely have happened if not for beloved author Rowling, 58, he said that didn't mean he didn't owes her 'the things he truly believes'. Despite the multi-millionaire's view that trans women are women, just this week it was revealed the NHS will declare sex is biological. It came after the Cass report found there is 'remarkably weak evidence' for gender-affirming techniques in children such as puberty blockers. It also said that  'for the majority of young people, a medical pathway may not be the best way' to help when they are 'presenting with gender incongruence or distress'.

Rachel McAdams , Alicia Keys , Liev Schreiber and more stars earned Tony Award nominations this Tuesday morning. Ariana DeBose , who won an Oscar for Steven Spielberg 's movie adaptation of the Broadway classic West Side Story , will host this year's Tonys on June 16. Some of the highest-profile categories were announced Tuesday on CBS, read out by Renee Elise Goldsberry and Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Daniel Radcliffe and Jonathan Groff spent their weekend being a part of their Merrily We Roll Along co-star Lindsay Mendez's wedding. The 34-year-old Radcliffe - who recently made headlines for his falling out with Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling over trans rights -  was enlisted as the ring bearer for the ceremony, according to an expired Instagram story by Dyandra Raye. The 39-year-old Groff also took part in the nuptials, serving as the wedding officiant for the ceremony.

The 58-year-old called for there to be an investigation into why political parties are embracing the opinions of 'privileged' pro-trans groups such as Stonewall and Mermaids. Her comments come just days after a review, written by leading paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass , found that teenagers in Britain have been allowed to change their gender based on 'remarkably weak evidence'. In her report Dr Cass warned that there was a 'lack of high-quality research' on the effects of giving children puberty blockers and hormones and said that the toxicity in the debate over the issue has become 'exceptional'. Tweeting her response to the report, Rowling said: 'In 2018, Stonewall literally told schools to shred a research pack saying there were risks to puberty blockers. We, in the strongest possible terms, denounce and condemn this publication. If it lands on your desk, do the right thing: shred it.'

The Harry Potter author has been in the vanguard of opposing the obsessions of transgender extremists, seeing them for the existential threat to hard-won women's rights that they are. This week's Cass Review on managing gender-related distress in the health service has entirely vindicated her warnings that the treatment of young folks confused about their gender is the medical scandal of our time. For good measure, Ms Rowling has said she will not forgive the self-entitled, virtue-signalling (now not-so-young) brats, who became global film stars only thanks to the Potter movies, for publicly dissing her over transgender issues when she was merely saying what all reasonable people now know to be the truth.

JK Rowling's (pictured left) years-long campaign for what she labels 'sex-based rights' has seen former Harry Potter stars distance themselves from her - and directly express support for transgender rights. Here, FEMAIL looks at the author's strained relationship with the former child stars Daniel Radcliffe (pictured bottom inset) and Emma Watson (pictured top inset), and how it has diminished over the years.

She won't accept any apology they - Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint - might be willing to make, now that the Cass Review has been published - which ­vindicates her views on what she calls 'the catastrophe of child transition'. The weaselly bandwagon jumpers didn't hesitate to kick Rowling to the kerb when she aired her beliefs - widely held by the British ­public - that sex is real and has lived consequences, not least that women's lives are fundamentally shaped by being female.

A rare first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone with several spelling misprints in it has sold for £56,000. The book went up for auction yesterday in New York, and had been originally tipped to sell from £64,000. Only 500 copies of the debut Harry Potter novel were printed in its first release, with 300 given to libraries and schools and 200 to private parties. The select copies all contain the same typos - including the words "one wand" printed twice on a list of items Harry needs for Hogwarts on page 53. Meanwhile, author JK Rowling 's name was accidentally listed in the novels as "Joanne Rowling."

The novelist, 58, who also writes crime novels under the male pen name Robert Galbraith, has assembled a squad of allies who fear additional legal rights for transgender people will infringe on the rights of women. Her years-long campaign for what she labels 'sex-based rights' has seen former Potter stars distance themselves from the multimillionaire writer - and directly express explicit support for transgender rights. The publication of the Cass Review, which concluded that gender services for children were not making decisions based on backed medical evidence, prompted her to say she was unlikely to forgive stars such as Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson for their views.

JK Rowling has said she won't forgive Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson after slamming celebrities who 'cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights'. The multi-millionaire author hit out at stars who use their 'platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors' after the release of the long-awaited Cass report into gender treatment in the UK. The vocal women's rights campaigner said people who supported gender transitioning in children should apologise to 'traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces'. Rowling has been vocal in her opposition of allowing children to change their gender, while Radcliffe and Watson have been outspoken in their support of the trans community. It comes after a review, written by leading paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass, found that teenagers in Britain have been allowed to change their gender based on 'remarkably weak evidence'. In her report Dr Cass warned that there was a 'lack of high-quality research' on the effects of giving children puberty blockers and hormones and said that the toxicity in the debate over the issue has become 'exceptional'.

Only 500 copies of the debut Harry Potter novel were printed in the first run, with 300 given to libraries and schools and 200 to private parties. They all contain the same typos, including the words 'one wand' printed twice on a list of items Harry needs for Hogwarts on page 53. JK Rowling's name also appears as 'Joanne Rowling' (inset). The book, which originally retailed for £10.99 (right), has been consigned by a prominent Harry Potter collector at auctioneers Bonhams New York. It paved the way for Harry Potter mania across the world with six sequels, 500 million copies sold and hit movie adaptations starring Daniel Radcliffe (left).

JK Rowling, a girl with a tumultuous mood, fought back in the face of this Orwellian nightmare, but put on the fight against God and vision, despite a small price on her own. She has spoken out where others haven't, and she has used her voice to embolden still more. We would not be able to have any kind of honest discussion about these topics without JK's column. She is, in every sense, a trailblazer. Her appearance was made even more admirable because she didn't have to do any of it. Insulated by her (well-earned) wealth and fame, she may have hopped straight into least resistance, lounging on some superyacht somewhere, secure in the knowledge that none of these topics were likely to have an effect on her or her family.

At the two-day Enter The Wizard World convention in Paris, fans are cying that it will cost £300 to speak with Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint, who is estimated to be worth £40 million. "I can't afford to leave a kidney at this first convention that I won't be able to attend," a dissatisfied fan wrote.' Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert's co-star, have previously spoken out against J.K. Rowling's views regarding the trans community.

That's wizard, Harry! As Warner Bros' TEN series about a new TV show about 'the boy who lived,' will be released in Leavesden, Herts, a £2 billion Harry Potter bonanza. Production details for the scheme, which will be based on J. K. Rowling's seven favorite books, have yet to be confirmed. However, this week, reports show that the Potter shows are absolutely intending to be shot in the United Kingdom, with British creative and technical talent front and center. The budget is expected to be about $200 million per series, bringing it into alignment with House Of The Dragon, which is also shot on the Warner Bros lot. The company revealed plans for the series in April last year and said it expects to begin filming later this year or early next year, as long as scripts and casting can be settled quickly.

On Sunday, Daniel Radcliffe appeared on the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles with long-term partner Erin Darke. In April 2023, the Harry Potter actor, 34, who was nominated for his role in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, welcomed his first child with the American actress, 38. Daniel cut a suave figure in a chic maroon jacket layered over a crisp white shirt and a black dickie bow while waiting for the red carpet.
