How many babies played Harry Potter in the first movie of Potter?

There were three babies who played Harry Potter in the first movie, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."

* Daniel Radcliffe played the older Harry Potter, for the majority of the film.

* Daniel Radcliffe also played the younger Harry Potter, in scenes where they needed to show a younger version of Harry, for example, when he was a baby.

* James and Oliver Phelps also played baby Harry in one scene, where baby Harry is crying in his crib.

It was a bit confusing, even for the filmmakers! It was difficult to get one baby to act in all the scenes, so they had to use multiple babies to play the character.
