ACTOR DANIEL RADCLIFFE’S original audition for Harry Potter has emerged.

The clip shows the actor before the filming prior to the filming of the Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone back in 2001.

In the clip he is seen talking running through lines, discussing his godfather Sirius Black and dragons eggs.

Speaking to The Times magazine, he said that he was recently sent a link to the footage and his reaction was, “Oh shit! OK…”
