This is probably not a real quote.

I checked on Imdb, but it wasn't there, but he seems like a really cool and funny guy.

[–]E-Step 12 points13 points ago

I wouldn't really take IMDB as the definitive answer for stuff like this. It's not very reliable.

[–]Gimli_The_Dwarf 8 points9 points ago

My favorite quote about IMDB is by Joey Lauren Adams, looking at her own page:

"Ugh, what an awful photo. They pick the worst picture of you and make you pay to replace it."

[–]iKaka 1 point2 points ago

Yes, he is a cool guy!

[–]Great_Zarquon -4 points-3 points ago

It's not.

[–]baat 44 points45 points ago

Funny lad. http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/a1c04ce68e/i-am-harry-potter

[–]kelsifer 3 points4 points ago

Hahaha "chills out a lot."

[–]Criously 4 points5 points ago

He is quite funny, he was good on QI aswel.

[–]McKoijion 82 points83 points ago

In related news, Rupert Grint used to feel confident about his height before he realized "Fuck, I'm Ron Weasley."

[–]redkey42 25 points26 points ago

Funny, but not really true. Lotsa young ladies be lovin' the gingers now.

[–]phedre 8 points9 points ago

Yeah, he's grown up into a decent looking fellow. I'm sure he has no problem getting a date.

[–]fourpac 9 points10 points ago

I'm sure "multi-millionaire" would be the real eye-catcher on his Match.com profile, though.

[–]phedre 3 points4 points ago

... there IS that.

[–]fourpac 0 points1 point ago

18 seconds to reply. Not bad.

[–]phedre 4 points5 points ago

He's no J Crew model, but he's a far cry from ugly.

Neville definitely grew into the cutie of the movie though.

[–]piratepixie[Gamekeeper] 0 points1 point ago

I was posting from my phone, and it wouldn't link.

[–]GingerDayWalker 0 points1 point ago

I can confirm

[–]godofallcowsMe dad's a muggle, me mum's a witch. 3 points4 points ago

He bought a fucking ice cream truck. That man is a hero.

[–]torpedorosie 19 points20 points ago

reminds me of this a little

[–]criticasartist 7 points8 points ago

I love that scene! I love that show. I love everything. I'm easy to please.

[–]benthejammin 4 points5 points ago

lol what the fuck is this and why is it so funny.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Great_Zarquon 14 points15 points ago

It's not so much that this is a repost that annoys me, but the fact that it has been debunked every single time it has been posted. Would someone mind just deleting this from the internet?

[–]bakersdozen13[Ravenclaw Chaser & Captain] 5 points6 points ago

It's not unlike that fake Alan Rickman quote that makes its rounds around here every month or so and rakes in the karma. The one about "When I'm 80 years old I'll still be reading Harry Potter and my family will say, 'After all this time?' and I'll say, 'Always.'"

[–]Great_Zarquon 2 points3 points ago

Uhhg. That one is probably my least favorite false quote. It's like the people who make, post, and repost them have absolutely no regard for the actors as as individuals, and just think about how they want to perceive the actors.

[–]jerrycasto 14 points15 points ago

Daniel Radcliffe used to be self-conscious about his height (5' 5") | 26coms | 332pts | 2mos | funny

He does makes a good point | 231coms | 677pts | 9mos | funny

You'll never see him the same way again. | 61coms | 200pts | 1yr | pics

Fuck it, I'm Harry Potter | 0coms | 7pts | 1mo | funny Fuck that... | 232coms | 677pts | 3mos | funny

I used to be self conscious | 307coms | 630pts | 6mos | pics

I always knew I had a reason to like him. | 19coms | 548pts | 1mo | funny

[–]SawRubThe Wizard Baruffio 1 point2 points ago

You're doing good work. I wish someone could program a bot to do this.

[–]jerrycasto 0 points1 point ago

There is, but it doesn't produce nearly the amount of results a manual one can.

[–]santiagooooo 4 points5 points ago

He is apparently 5'5" / 165cm.

http://www.celebheights.com/s/Daniel-Radcliffe-792.html

[–]SweetKri 7 points8 points ago

I actually thought he was shorter, since everyone makes such a big deal of his height. 5'5" isn't that short.

[–]Ceejae 11 points12 points ago

As some one that is 5'8" and very occasionally wishes I was a bit taller, you've made my night.

[–]yblaidddrwg 0 points1 point ago

In England, the average male is 5'9"...I'd say four inches under average is pretty short, especially since the opposite (6'1") is considered pretty tall.

[–]SweetKri 0 points1 point ago

Ah, when you look at it that way, I can see why he's considered short, but in California, there is just so much variance that he seems well within the average.

[–]Castellan_ofthe_rock -4 points-3 points ago

Sorry but that is really short

[–]SweetKri -1 points0 points ago

Most actors are around 5'7"-5'10", so a few inches just isn't that much shorter than the standard.

[–]smoothcam72 -1 points0 points ago

so you're saying chuck knorris is a couple inches away from being "really short"?

[–]askyou 0 points1 point ago

Chuck Norris is a douche.

[–]smoothcam72 0 points1 point ago

confirmed, worked with him.

[–]Castellan_ofthe_rock -1 points0 points ago

Why am I being downvoted for saying a 5'5" man is short is beyond me, but yes I'm saying chuck Norris is short also.

[–]smoothcam72 0 points1 point ago*

because you have a fundamental misunderstanding that "short" isn't a qualitative measurement. there are entire nations that (by your ignorant measure) are "really short".

[–]rahulthewallSir Cadogan 3 points4 points ago*

Thanks for your comment. I was just about to say "Dan Radcliffe does not know what being short means. I am 5'5" and that's short".

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]rahulthewallSir Cadogan 3 points4 points ago

My apologies, I do not understand what you mean.

[–]qwop271828 1 point2 points ago

even for what no in kind under the very most though

[–]Vertyx 0 points1 point ago

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[–]Ceejae 0 points1 point ago

Er... Huh?

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

i think he did say this on Graham Norton! With Djalili, i think that episode was.

[–]VixenPie 2 points3 points ago

haha, did he legitimately say this? where at?

[–]sparkplug49witherwings 1 point2 points ago

I totally thought that said "Daniel Radcliffe on being shot" I was confused.

[–]Moath 1 point2 points ago

Have you ever seen Daniel Radcliffe in an interview? That doesn't sound like him at all.

[–]Allaphon 2 points3 points ago

hoodie92 on being creative

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Did he actually say this? I see this quote all the time.

[–]inivux 0 points1 point ago

Too bad he can't cast a spell.

[–]lordsauron420 0 points1 point ago

If that was a real quote, then a round of applause for him, guys.

[–]Themsmyapples 0 points1 point ago

Finally a simple way to cope with shortness; BE HARRY FUCKING POTTER.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Smoking wouldn't help your height.

[–]redkey42 0 points1 point ago

Down to earth, realistic, and appropriately into himself. Keep it, RADcliffe. Yeah, I totally went 80's over here.

[–]ThePiggle 0 points1 point ago

Not short, party sized. :3

[–]Hilholiday 0 points1 point ago

Clearly, he is not a smoker.

[–]The_Magagkamack 0 points1 point ago

Too bad he was self-conscious enough to start smoking though :(

[–]SeisGurl9Potions Princess -1 points0 points ago

You think that's why people start smoking....?

[–]derphighbury -1 points0 points ago

If he really said that then yer a wizard.
