DANIEL RADCLIFFE TALKS TO GEEK
With the fifth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, being released to theatres this summer, star Daniel Radcliffe realizes that he is on something of a strict deadline to establish himself as something more than the boy-turned-teen wizard.
“I think that’s absolutely right, that there is a timetable,” Daniel tells Geekmonthly.com.

I need to get as much work between now and the end of the series and the immediate aftermath of the series as I can to prove to people that I can do it. That’s why I’m constantly on the look out for scripts and things to do. That’s why I’m doing two things between Harry Potter 5 and 6, if and when that happens. I do feel a need to say to people that I am capable of more than Harry Potter. That being said, I don’t pick roles specifically because they are very different from Harry Potter. You have to judge each role on what it is and who you’ll be working with. It just so happens that the films that have come my way are very different from Harry, and that’s a nice bonus, really. Having said that, Harry Potter is a very demanding part and really challenging. I don’t mean to make it sound like Harry is an easy ride, because it’s not. But with doing things like Equus and My Boy Jack, which is a World War I story about Rudyard Kipling and his son, and I did December Boys last year - hopefully all of these projects should begin to let people see me in a different light.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix appears in theaters worldwide this July and My Boy Jack will be on British TV in October. Radcliffe makes his stage debut in London next month with Equus.

Good luck to Daniel

Thanks for the article! I hope he continues as Harry. It wouldn't seem right if he quit before the movies were done. I mean, they only have two more to go.

P.S. I love your avater!

After Harry Potter, Dan will definitely be burdened with the label of being the Boy Who Lived until he gets another memorable role.
