As you may have seen, Daniel won his first ever Tony on Sunday, taking home the award for Featured Actor in a Musical for his role as Charley Kringas in Merrily We Roll Along.

In his acceptance speech, the 34-year-old held back tears as he thanked his colleagues and loved ones, specifically shouting out costars Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez — both of whom were also nominated for their performances, with Jonathan winning.

Think you’re the biggest Harry Potter fan? Let’s put it to the test.

Daniel also got a laugh from the crowd when he acknowledged just how long he’s been working in showbiz while thanking his agent, who’s been representing him “literally [his] entire life.”

As we’ve seen numerous times in Hollywood, exposure to such astronomical levels of scrutiny and wealth at a young age can sometimes be incredibly detrimental to a person’s well-being. Daniel has discussed this in the past, admitting that his childhood stardom made it more difficult for him to understand who he was away from acting.

Despite this, Daniel also told the Mirror at the time that he was incredibly “grateful” the Harry Potter films gave him the money to have “immense freedom career-wise.”

This brings us to today, when, following his milestone Tony win, Daniel is being praised for how he’s navigated his career and image on the other side of such immense childhood stardom.

One post on X with nearly 185,000 likes noted that Daniel “survived the insane fame of his childhood to become a brave and interesting artist.” In response, another user echoed Daniel’s comments about financial freedom, wagering that he “realised early on that he now had security & freedom to do whatever he wanted to do with his career & he keeps making really, really good choices.”

This sentiment was widely mirrored as other X users celebrated what “an astute, talented & grounded performer” he's become in his post-Potter career.

All in all, the love for Daniel couldn’t be stronger online — demonstrated by one post that described the actor as “impossible to dislike.”
