Daniel Radcliffe has admitted that he took his new role in 'The Woman In Black' to put an end to the constant 'Harry Potter' mania that follows him where ever he goes.
The 22 year-old finished the final 'Potter' film last summer and despite turns on Broadway and some television work, he is still widely known by his character 'Harry Potter'.
According to the Press Association the star hopes his role in ‘The Woman In Black’ will be the first step away from the boy wizard and that fans will soon forget about his most famous role.
He said: “: People are going to stop thinking about Harry Potter pretty quickly when they see this film, even if they go in thinking, 'I want to see what Harry's up to now'."
The child star admitted that he took the role because of how different it is to what audiences are used to. A ghoulish and terrifying tale, there are is no wizarding fun or Quidditch in sight.
The actor explained: "It was a great part and very different. I think this is the first step in the transition of me starting to move on and do other things and it's a really, really good first step and I'm really proud."
The Hammer horror film has so far seen success in the UK and overseas in the United States but it may be a bit longer before they forget about the boy wizard.
Die-hard fans of the saga still follow Daniel where ever he goes, with one even proposing last weekend during a TV interview with a novelty ring.
