There aren't many more iconic aspects of the Harry Potter character than his distinctive pair of specs, and actor Daniel Radcliffe made sure to nab himself a couple of pairs during production.

Radcliffe has stated in interviews that he received one pair of glasses while shooting the first film, The Philosopher's Stone, and another after completing principal photography on the final film, Deathly Hallows - Part 2:

"I've got one pair from the first film, which are very, very small now for my head, and the very last ones I wore in [Deathly Hallows - Part 2], so yeah. They're in a very safe place, not in my house, because that would just be foolish and I would break them."

"Jokingly," Radcliffe claimed that he stole the glasses from the set of the last Potter film, though quickly corrected himself that they were actually given to him.

Either way, he rather fittingly has props from the series' bookending entries, marking the most significant period of his career if not also his life.
