The 'Harry Potter' star has revealed he has the condition dyspraxia - a common neurological problem which causes sufferers to have difficulties planning any sequence of coordinated movements - and can sometimes struggle to complete the most basic of tasks. He said: "Sometimes I think, 'Why, oh, why, has Velcro not taken off?' "Despite his difficulties, Daniel admits his condition has been a blessing - because it was the inspiration for his acting career.

The 19-year-old actor - who can next be seen playing the lead character in 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth instalment in the film franchise based on J.K. Rowling's hugely popular book series - was allowed to start going to film auditions after his mother decided he needed a confidence boost because he was struggling academically.

Actors Jim Broadbent (L) and Daniel Radcliffe are shown in a scene from "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" in this undated publicity photo released to Reuters August 14, 2008. The release date of the sixth Harry Potter movie has been pushed back on Thursday to July 2009 from its original date of November 2008, movie studio Warner Bros. said

Daniel added: "I was having a hard time at school in terms of being c**p at everything." The actor's spokeswoman said: "Yes, Daniel does have dyspraxia. This is something he has never hidden.
