State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

Also a Rapper[edit]

Also a Rapper. Not only because of his appearance with Jimmy Fallon. But he's been writing a rap album since 2014.

Box Office Failures Section[edit]

I find it strange that this page has a Box Office Failures section, when other actors don't.

Seems to coincide with him speaking out against JKRowling. Entrydenied (talk) 16:49, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"I'm an atheist, but I'm very proud of being Jewish. It means I have a good work ethic, and you get Jewish humour and you're allowed to tell Jewish jokes. For instance: did you hear how copper wire was invented? Two Jews fighting over a penny. And so on."[1][157]

Done, also confirmed that quote does appear in the source ([1]) as it almost seems made up. Certainly an unusual sentence; agreed that the "joke" itself is not adding anything to the article about Radcliffe and not worth including. Dylnuge ^{(Talk • Edits)} 21:27, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

it’s Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone not Harry Potter and the philosophers stone 2604:2D80:9D0A:8500:6043:FF6D:6B6A:13D9 (talk) 03:40, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The title is indeed "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" – the American release uses "Sorcerer's", but as the article uses British English "Philosopher's" is correct here. Tollens (talk) 03:49, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Age of rise to fame[edit]

I realize this is a comparatively minor point, but the article currently states he "rose to fame at age 12".

Given that he had just turned 11 when he was announced to have got the part (Aug 21 2000 per https://edition.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/europe/08/22/potter.casting/index.html) and it was a press frenzy from then on, it could be argued he rose to fame at the age of 11. In fact, he was still 11 when the film concluded principal photography, per the Philospher's Stone article.

Again, I realize this is a minor point, but i'd like to see what the consensus is as to when he "rose to fame". TBicks (talk) 22:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
