Dan Outgrowing Harry?
September 05, 2002

The perpetual problems of filming a series with the same child actors is still ongoing as the Daily Mail reports that Daniel Radcliffe has grown 6 inches in a year.

He may be getting too big for his broomstick.

Daniel Radcliffe, who played the boy wizard in the film Harry Potter & The Philosophers Stone last year, appears to be outgrowing his role.

Seen walking to a gym near there home in south west London, 13 yrld Daniel is easily taller then his mother, Marcia Gresham. He now stands at around 5ft 3in and is reckoned to have grown up six inches since last year.

Filming of the second J K Rowling adventure, Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets – out in November – was rushed through after the first movie to reduce the risk of any of the child actors growing up to much.

But if Daniel’s dizzy rise continues at the same rate, Director Chris Columbus may be forced to look for a replacement wizard for future potter films.

Daniel however still has a lot more growing up to do before he can emulate the giant American wrestling star `Stone Cold` Steve Austin who’s nickname is celebrated on his Lurid T-shirt.
