The fantastical universe of Hollywood franchises has never met two heroes that have a greater fanbase than the two magic boys, Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson. While one especially grew up in fame and learned acting as he went along, other too not as young but still was a new face in all its essence. There is not a single growing teen who does not love Harry Potter or the very amiable vampire from Twilight, Edward Cullen. 

The two actors are of course still at the peak of their careers and are enjoying immense fame and love from their global fanbases. Still, they are not quite as young as they were once they landed their very famous roles that would one day come to define Hollywood fictional films at their best. The Harry Potter actor now is a consistent face in the best of films we get to see these days, and Robert Pattinson has already made an impressionable mark as the Caped Crusader Batman in the DC universe's darker version of the Batman superhero. 

Of course, if you have kept on the two actors, you must know that they starred together in the Harry Potter films together, while Daniel's role in the film was cut short with his character's very untimely death. Of course, many people assume that the fantasy boys have a great relationship going, especially because they got to work together in a very hit film franchise and mostly because they can relate their immense fiction-based fandoms with each other. But the reality of their relationship with each other could not be disheartening for people who wish for the two to be "great mates."

Before the "one hundred and eight" years old Edward Cullen was ever played by Robert Pattinson in Twilight, the phenomenal actor had already become a teenage sensation with his undeniably good looks and lovable charm. The actor portrayed Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter franchise's fourth installment, Goblet of Fire. The two worked together in countless scenes as they competed together in the Triwizard Competition. The two also share a very tense and emotional last moment together, which would simply help the fact of them becoming great pals make sense. 

While the duo's fanbase would recognize the two even under the strictest disguises, Radcliffe recently let out their relationship and how when he saw Pattinson on a billboard during the star's Twilight days, he could only think that he had seen the guy somewhere before. The Harry Potter leadman went on to say that his relationship with the Twilight fame is 'strange.' Of course, that is the word to describe a relationship far from being good friends as fans hoped. 

Sharing that how he responded the first time he saw Robert Pattinson after their Harry Potter days together, the star said, "Literally the first, I was in New York about to do Equus, and I was on the Westside Highway, and I turned around and saw this billboard, and I was like, ‘What, I know that guy!’" The actor obviously was not yet familiar with the mammoth marvel that the Twilight books and films had become as he revealed,  "I hadn’t heard of the Twilight books at the time; I hadn’t been aware of that phenomenon. And so yeah, it’s odd."

Then, he went on to share what kind of relationship dynamics they have managed to maintain, saying, "We have a very strange relationship now where we basically only communicate through journalists. We haven’t seen each other in ages. Because everyone assumes we’re kind of great mates, but I’ve met him. He’s a lovely guy when I worked with him."

The two actors have, of course, have done great work out of their respective franchises. Danielle Radcliffe is an indie fame actor and has also managed to work his magic on the West End and the Broadway stages. Robert Pattinson has also worked in the indie film sphere, and apart from that, he worked in several independent productions and now is returning with the very tensely anticipated DC universe film, The Batman.
