December Boys was Radcliffe's second non-Harry Potter film role after The Tailor of Panama. Funnily enough, Radcliffe was second choice for the part of Maps after Freddie Highmore, but was chosen because Freddie couldn't leave the UK because of his poorly grandmother.

Aside from Harry Potter, Broadway play Equus has probably been Radcliffe's most talked about project. Largely because the star gets fully naked on-stage. Nothing gets the punters in like a spot of A-list nudity!

Radcliffe swapped the big screen and stage for the small screen for TV movie My Boy Jack. It was a true story about Rudyard Kipling, who used his fame to get his 17-year-old son Jack a post with the Irish Guards in World War One, despite his son?s poor eyesight.

It's no surprise that there were tears aplenty at the premiere for the final installment Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part Two. Speaking at the London premiere, Radcliffe said: 'I don't think the end of the story happens tonight because each and every person who will see this film will carry this story with them through the rest of their lives.

A huge thank-you to all of you, first of all for giving me a job, and Jo for letting him give me a job. Every opportunity I get from now on all goes down to the fact I got very, very lucky when I was eleven.'
