The young teen who plays Harry Potter -- known to most fans as Daniel Radcliffe -- turned 15 today.
Fan sites DanRadcliffe.com
and DanRadcliffe.co.uk celebrated by raising over £1,600 (almost US$3,000) for Dan's favorite charity and separately put together some fantastic surprises for the birthday boy:
DanRadcliffe.co.uk's "A Punk Rock World" - Fans sent in over 40 pounds of punk and rock music memorabilia, including CDs, DVDs, concert posters and t-shirts. (Radcliffe is a big fan of the genres.)
DanRadcliffe.com's "Aced Magazine" - Webmistress Jenna has been hard at work since December creating a new, semi-annual magazine (not an e-zine, or a newsletter but an actual printed publication) for teens and young adults. The focus is on music, lifestyles and trends that both girls and guys can read together and relate to. (P.S. The online version of the magazine features male pseudo-models Emerson and Jamie from MuggleNet "lookin' all sex-ay".)
The character Harry Potter will turn a year older with author J.K. Rowling on their shared birthday later this month (July 31).

Lucky, lucky boy. Ugh... *is disgusted and jealous*
Well, I'm officially surprised. I thought the forums on here were going to be crazy with "Happy Birthday Dan! I love You! Marry Me!" like they were in CBBC Newsround (Where I was last year at this time).
I thank you fan girls for not going completely crazy. Well, maybe you did and I just didn't see it... Either way, thanks.
Happy Belated Dan

Thats realy nice of those sites to raise all that money for charity, a worthy cause to help people :) I always forget how young Dan is, i keep thinking hes nearly 17 like Tom! Hes so mature for his age, and it must be great to get all this attention and presents on his special day :)

Happy Birthday Dan!! (Darn it, you turned 15 three months before I will! Grrr! heehee)
I think that it was very nice what he did for the charity, they needed that.
It's interesting that Dan's born in July, same as Harry! (Like the man who played Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson's movie- his real initials were J.C.!)

Does Daniel really deserve over 40pounds of dvds, books, tokens etc...? He probably makes millions with the films. We're wasting time here, precious Goblet of Fire time.
