Child Stars Grown Up: Daniel Radcliffe Turns 20

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has well and truly left his schooldays behind him - in real life at least - turning 20 on July 23. The actor and co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are currently on top of the worldwide box office with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and the trio will return to Hogwarts School twice more before the movie franchise ends for good in 2011. Take a trip down memory lane in our gallery of child stars, some of whom made the transition to adult star with ease, and some who weren't so lucky.
