Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has been unveiled as the youngest actor to be immortalised as a waxwork at Madame Tussauds.

The 17-year-old actor's waxwork is dressed in a suit and tie.

"With his 18th birthday around the corner and stage roles like Equus under his belt, Daniel has become a young British acting force to be reckoned with" - Ben Lovett

It was revealed ahead of Tuesday's premiere of Radcliffe's latest film, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.

The waxwork of the actor will feature alongside Hollywood legends such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Samuel L Jackson in the museum's Blush area.

Ben Lovett, of Madame Tussauds London, said: "With his 18th birthday around the corner and stage roles like Equus under his belt, Daniel has become a young British acting force to be reckoned with.

"It's been great for the studio's sculptors to recreate someone who we've all watched growing up on the big screen."
