Four orphans, all born in December (hence, December Boys) are given a seaside holiday treat for their birthdays. What starts out as the best time they’ve ever had turns ugly when they discover that the couple next door is planning to adopt one of them. A fierce competition to win over the couple’s attention ensues, threatening to break the strong ties that hold them together.

It’s the first time we get to see Daniel Radcliffe out of Harry Potter mode. He’s already garnered rave reviews from doing Equus on the West End, with people claiming that he has successfully shrugged off the magical cloak of Potter—literally and figuratively, but we didn’t get to catch that (yeah, see, we were late for our plane for London so we didn’t get to go—not! *Sigh*). So in essence, this is the first time we’ll be seeing Dan take on a different role and judge for ourselves if the boy has a career after the Potter franchise wraps up (well, unless you caught that plane to London).
No worries, Daniel fans, he can do more than Alohamora and Wingardium Leviosa. Apart from one small blink-and-you-miss-it scene where he tried to make a point by gesturing with his hands, I didn’t feel or see Harry Potter. I saw his character, Maps. (Good on you, Dan!)
