Daniel Radcliffe kept Harry’s glasses

By Alexandra Heilbron on October 26, 2010 | 4 Comments


Daniel Radcliffe only kept Harry Potter’s glasses as a memento from series of films. The 21-year-old actor recently finished shooting the final scenes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and last of the films based on the boy wizard he played for 10 years, and said his prop glasses were the only thing of sentimental value he wanted to keep. He told fan website HPANA: “I’ve got two pairs of glasses. One from the seventh film, which were lensless. And also I have a pair with lenses from the first film which just seem like the tiniest little things now. So it’s very sweet and they both have quite a place in my heart. That was the only thing I wanted. I didn’t want the wand, I certainly didn’t want the broom, and so those were the only things I had my heart set on.” The first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on November 19.

    The wand would have been really cool to keep – I think I would have kept the sorting hat 🙂 Anyone else?

    i think he deserves to keep a momento or two, but not the sorting hat or brooms or anything, the wand and the glasses for sure, i hope they take alot of the props and either use them in exhibitions where profits go to childrens organizations or auction it all off and the profits can go to the same type of organization, after all, it is children who made these movies and books as famous as they have become, time to give something back…

    Yeah, I don’t think they would’ve offered him the sorting hat. I’d expect everyone would’ve been able to pick a personal prop. I hope the rest of the props end up in the Harry Potter Exhibition so we can all see them eventually.
