4.0 out of 5 stars Great Daniel Biography!!!, November 8, 2005

This review is from: Daniel Radcliffe: No Ordinary Wizard (Paperback)

I really enjoyed reading this book. I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter, the books and the movies, and I had a lot of fun reading this bio. It tells all about Dan - how he got cast as Harry, how he, Emma, and Rupert spend their time on the set, and tons of personal information about Daniel. The author also talked a lot about the filming of the first 3 movies, special effects, and what it was like for Dan to grow up in front of a camera. The book also has a bunch of full-color photos of Dan with his co-stars and J.K. All in all, a really entertaining read about one of my favorite people!

This book wasn't a lot about Daniel Radcliffe at first, but then the subject just took a huge turn to include a lot more information about his life. I knew all about him! This book was really helpful for my book report, I knew a lot of things to write. I wrote two pages! This book was very good! I loved it!

This review is from: Daniel Radcliffe: No Ordinary Wizard (Paperback)

This book was a surprise for a twelve-year-old who loves all things Harry Potter. She read this book cover-to-cover, and she is not a huge fan of reading because of so many truly haneous books being forced down her throat by ill-advised teachers, who know how to spoil the fun of reading for pleasure.

I briefly skimmed some of this book before wrapping it. In my opinion, it's not perfectly written, but clearly fills the bill for Radcliffe fans. And... Any book that can communicate that joy of reading again to a girl who used to love reading... Well, I'm all for it!
