Daniel Turns 18: Spends the Day at Lords | The Harry Potter Blog - Harry Potter News, Movies, and Books

So the magician steps into the magic age of 18.  

With that he’s become the legal owner of a magical sum of $47 million! 

There had been much speculation about the probable ways that the screen-wizard would like to spend this very special day of his life. 

All speculation were spun around the tales of luxury, extravagance and a big bash involving big bucks. 

One of the world’s youngest millionaires has instead chosen to spend the Big Day the true Brit way at Lord’s - by watching the cricket match between India and England.  

By the way this was the first time; Radcliffe came to watch a live cricket match in the stadium. The gloomy day that rained on cats and dogs acted in advantage of the mega star - the galleries were half empty that saved him from getting mobbed in the middle of the match.  

The Harry Potter star was spotted donning England replica shirt and hugely enjoyed himself watching the
England team taking on the Indian side.  

However something funny happened. The young actor, who always obliges others with his autographs, stood in the queue himself for getting his autograph book signed by two cricketers—Andrew Strauss and Sachin Tendulkar. 

Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian legendary batsman, called the Master Bblaster by his fans went on in his signing spree, not at all realizing whom he was obliging!  

The other cricketer, who obliged the real Harry Potter with his autograph, was none other than Andrew Strauss - the
England opener who suddenly became known to the Potter-maniacs even from the non-cricket playing countries by appearing in the dream of Radcliffe - Radcliffe in a recent interview talked of having a nightmare, where he was being chased by Strauss! 

However, Strauss didn’t make the mistake that Sachin did - he signed Radcliffe’s autograph book and got the actor sign a Harry Potter book for his kid. 

As Radcliffe said in a BBC lunchtime interview, “I’ve got Andrew Strauss’s autograph and Sachin Tendulkar’s - they were not aware who it was who was asking for their autograph. They were doing the thing that I do when I am in a crowd of people, which is to just keep your head down and keep moving as you sign.”   

He himself also didn’t mind taking a moment to sign an autograph for a fan.  

The tabloids missed on a chance to make sensational stories on the birthday bash of one of the most sought after film star of the recent times; but Radcliffe makes it clear himself “I know I’m in an incredibly fortunate position… But I don’t plan to be one of those people who suddenly buys themselves a massive sports car collection.” 

May be young Dan has learnt it all from his dad Alan - who despite being the father of most famous teenager in the world, maintains the courtesy to allow a woman to board the bus ahead of him.
