Radcliffe was reported to have earned £1 million for the first ''Harry Potter'' film,<ref name="maincastinter" />
=== Health ===
In 2008, Radcliffe revealed that he has a mild form of the neurological disorder [[developmental coordination disorder|dyspraxia]], which sometimes prevents him from doing simple activities such as writing or tying his shoelaces. He said, "I was having a hard time at school, in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=5605093&page=1 |title=Dyspraxia Explains Harry Potter's Klutziness |first=Emily |last=Friedman |work=ABC News |date=19 August 2008 |access-date=26 May 2011 |archive-date=6 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180306232529/http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=5605093&page=1 |url-status=live }}</ref>
While on the set of the 2013 film ''Horns'', Radcliffe accidentally drank [[antifreeze]], which caused him to become "horrendously ill" for "a disgusting, feverish three days."<ref name=":0" />
Radcliffe has expressed his fondness for hip hop music and admitted to having "an obsession with memorising complicated, lyrically intricate and fast songs".
