It’s been 9 years since the site opened on January 23, 2006. After the run of Harry Potter our site needed a name changed from Sparkling Illusions to Simply Daniel Radcliffe, in December of 2010 that name became effective. It’s been a wondrous journey keeping fans up to date with Daniel’s career. I’ve met and talked to quite a bit of you and some of you became my extended family. Which I am grateful to have in my life. Not only has Dan kept me busy when promoting films and the like. But he’s been a positive force in my life. Just like I hear from many of you out there that have shared their stories and lives with me. I wanna thank you all for keeping this site interesting and for making it your go to source for Dan news. <3

Spear’s Wealth Magazine sent us an article regarding Daniel’s Net Worth.
Only child of Alan George Radcliffe and Marcia Jeannine Gresham, both actors during their childhood, Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born in Fulham on July 23, 1989.
Radcliffe’s love for acting came to the fore when he was five. His childlike passion convinced his mum to allow him to play David Copperfield in the BBC TV adaptation, a role which impressed director Chris Columbus to cast him as Harry Potter for his next grand franchise. J.K. Rowling remarked that Columbus “couldn’t have found a better Harry”.
Earlier Jamie Lee Curtis who played Radcliffe’s mum in The Tailor of Panama (2001) had predicted that he would be perfect for Harry Potter.
For Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001), little Radcliffe was paid $1,000,000 (imdb.com), with the movie grossing $974 million.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Salary: $3,000,000) became second highest-grossing film of 2002.
Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) earned only $795 million; the lowest grosser of the series.

For the last two weeks we have been receiving entries for our giveaway competition. I reviewed each entry submitted and today I am announcing the winner to the contest. I thought long and hard since everyone that submitted an entry was incredibly amazing. And it was not easy to choose who should win the book.
So to announce the winner, I would like to congratulate Michele Mar-Tang. Her story not only let’s you see why Dan is special to her, but why he is special overall.
I have been a part of this website for approximately 3 1/2 years.It’s hard to sum up all the reasons why Dan means so much to me. I have never, ever, felt this way about a “celeb” before. Ever. Dan came into my life during a very down time: I was in tremendous physical pain from a small oral surgery, which even the dentist couldn’t figure out why, for 21 days. Also, a very special family member, that I was very close to, hurt me very,very badly. So I was miserable. So one day Sorcerer’s Stone was on, and I had no physical energy at all; I just lay on the couch, and I watched it. And fell in love with it. By the time I got to OOTP Dan had had my attention. Yes, I first noticed his physical attributes. But a few months later I actually met him for the first time, and was so impressed by the time and attention he gives his fans. As time went on, and I continued to follow his career, I could see such quality and genuineness in this individual. His love for his craft, his fans, and humanity became so apparent I began to wonder how everyone is not in love with him. After meeting him many times, I can see he is truly a wonderful human being, who cares deeply for the people who like, admire, and love him. To me, he is the world. This past Summer Dan helped me through an extremely tough personal crisis. All I have to do, on any given day, is look at his face, and everything is instantly made better. Also, through Dan, I have made some wonderful, caring, special friends, most of which I have never met in person, but have become my family. Actually, I love them more than my extended family. I don’t know where I would be right now had I never been introduced to his work, his art, his person. He has changed me for the better in more ways than I can enumerate. This is why Dan is special to me.
Creative Partners Publishing House announced earlier this month that it had rebooted author Randy Jernigan’s fan book series and will now be including four biographical sketches into one book and will be adding music super-star Taylor Swift to the first addition. The new title of the fan book series is Stars That Make A Difference. Celebrity sketches will include Daniel Radcliffe, Ellen Degeneres, Marie Osmond and Taylor Swift.
“I had my issues with this idea when my publishing partners and legal team first approached me about it, but after listening to their reasoning I began to see the value in it,” Jernigan said at the time. The book series has attracted a large amount of tabloid press referring to the book as a “tell-all” and sensationalizing his words in interviews regarding actor Daniel Radcliffe and television talk show host Ellen Degeneres, which the author and publishing house has repeatedly denied on Jernigan’s social media sites. “A friend once described his dealing with these tabloids by saying, ‘it’s like punching jello—it’s totally futile and you just want to give up’ and I totally agree.”
“There is nothing gossipy or sensational about this book series but is a serious look at the lives and careers of four celebrities that have made a positive impact in the lives of their fans,” said Jernigan. “We’re being very careful in our final edits not to include anything that could be interpreted as salacious or sensational so as not to give the tabloid press an opportunity to strike again. These false media reports can be mean spirited and do damage to reputations. They take your words and reconfigure them into something you never said and this is not what this book series is about.”
According to Jernigan, the changes will prolong the release date to a mid to late Fall publication date. To insure accuracy each biographical sketch will be vetted by the celebrity’s legal or management team and in some cases the celebrity themselves.
Stars That Make A Difference will be available through Creative Partners Fan Books as well as Amazon and Kindle.
Creative Partners Publishing author Randy Jernigan has taken to his Facebook page responding to several sensationalized press reports regarding his upcoming book, “The Life and Career of Daniel Radcliffe.” The first installment in a series of “fan books” being published by the company.
“Please know that this book, “The Life and Career of Daniel Radcliffe” is not a tell-all, sensationalistic styled book as some media has reported. This work has been very well researched and my sources used when gathering the information are very solid. It is an honest and forthright look at a great actor and individual. Please understand that I I have the utmost respect for Dan as an actor, as a humanitarian, and as a person. This book is one that his fans will appreciate, I’m sure.” Randy Jernigan 5/27/14
