It's certainly been a good year for Daniel Radcliffe.

In the 12 months leading up to his 23rd birthday today, the actor has kept himself pretty busy since saying goodbye to a certain boy wizard. (You may have heard of him?)

In addition to seeing the release of a little film called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Radcliffe dramatically shifted gears in the creepy hit flick The Woman in Black, displayed his comedic chops while hosting Saturday Night Live, took on the role of Beat Generation poet Allen Ginsberg for the movie Kill Your Darlings, and revealed he has quite the talented tongue.

Here's hoping the next 365 days are just as, well, magical!
