Harry Potter fans shall always think of Daniel Radcliffe as the quintessential Harry Potter. But that hasn’t stopped the actor to play varied roles after the end of his super famous Potter franchise.

Daniel Radcliffe will be soon seen in a thriller ‘The Woman in Black’ this year.

Insiders have claimed, Daniel Radcliffe has definitely come of age in this movie with a brilliant performance. Radcliffe fans will see the star in a different and a more mature role where he plays the role of a young lawyer in the super natural thriller, who travels to a remote village to organize a recently deceased client’s papers and discovers the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance.

Directed by James Watkins of Eden Lake fame, the movie definitely claims to be in one of the top positions in the must see list especially for the people who love horror movies.

Once co-stars (and quite tragically so) in the “Harry Potter” series, Daniel Radcliffe doesn’t envy his former Hogwarts classmate Robert Pattinson.

While Radcliffe just finished starring in the biggest film franchise of all time, he told Access Hollywood, as picked up by The Hollywood Reporter, that his gradual introduction to fame made life a lot easier for him, which wasn’t the case for Pattinson.

“I think he’s had to do with kind of a lot more,” he said. “I had a very gradual easing in to the idea of fame, because I was doing the first two films back to back almost. So, while the whole ‘Potter’ film franchise was exploding, I was in studios filming and kind of unaware that this thing was going massive outside. Where as Rob, [he] was suddenly the most famous guy in the world. I think that’s a lot harder to deal with.”

There’s also the matter of how their characters are portrayed, as well as the public’s perception of the actors themselves. Radcliffe’s Harry Potter is a boy wizard, steely and determined, but dressed in scarves and long black robes, not to mention his iconic rounded glasses. His love life in the books and film series is a late addition, and generally takes a backseat to the main action, which involves saving the entire world.

Meanwhile, Pattinson’s Edward Cullen is described in the books as an adonis, a smoldering romantic of a vampire who is both sexily complicated and wildly devout to his virginal teen girlfriend. In short, the perfect man, undead or not. The entire series is predicated on their love and his willingness to take on all obstacles to defend her; in the end, all of his problems come from this undying love.

As for the actors themselves, the public watched Radcliffe grow up on screen, going from a 10-year old child to the 20-year old man he is today. In many ways it casts him like a friend or brother, more than sex symbol. Meanwhile, Pattinson was sprung onto world fully grown, and his secretive relationship with co-star Kristen Stewart was the total wish fulfillment of everyone who wanted to believe in the movie — or gawk at two beautiful people.

With Radcliffe now done with Potter and starring on Broadway, and Pattinson wrapping up his saga in the next year and branching out his film career, it will be interesting to see which young Brit has more staying power — both in show business, and the tabloids.

“Dan has appeared nude in the past,” Yates told The Telegraph. “There are a couple of scenes in the new film in which he will undress, but we’re still thinking about how we present it.”
