Magic shoes help Potter star to walk tall

- By Jemma Buckley Showbusine­ss Reporter

IT IS one of the highest accolades in Hollywood, so it is no surprise that Daniel Radcliffe wanted to look on top form to unveil his star on its Walk of Fame.

The diminutive Harry Potter actor seems to have been keen to ensure one aspect of his appearance measured up – his height.

For the grand unveiling, the 5ft 5in star appeared to be sporting a pair of stack heels, often worn by celebritie­s who want to boost their standing. Others believed to use the undercover uplift include Tom Cruise and Simon Cowell.

Radcliffe chose to wear a grey checked suit for the occasion with his hair shaved very short. The 26-year-old vowed he would ‘never stop feeling lucky to be here’ and thanked his parents Alan and Marcia, who had flown out to Los Angeles for the ceremony.

He also made time to sign autographs and pose for photograph­s with fans, many of whom had turned up clutching Harry Potter memorabili­a.

Radcliffe’s career started when he was picked to play boy wizard Harry as an 11-year-old. He has gone on to star in The Woman In Black, Kill Your Darlings, Trainwreck and What If.
