Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has been left nursing a cold thanks to the 'intense' shooting of the final instalment of the wizard franchise.

The 20-year-old is working on the series' final outing 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows', which is being split into two films and the filming conditions have left the actor sick, reports hollywood.com.

'I'm in every day, basically. I was lying in a pool of mud and dust and smoke and it irritated my throat and I developed a cold,' he said.

The film also stars Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as his Hogwarts friends.
