Harry Potter Question

When Daniel says that he does not want to be Harry anymore or says he's over him, how does it make you feel?

Is it a big slap in the face, or is he speaking his mind and you support him no matter what?

His words are always twisted to make it look like he doesn't care while that's not true. When a movie or a tv actor/actress get into a role like this, they will ALWAYS be linked to it. Daniel is only saying that he portrayed Harry for seven years and plus and now it's time to move on. They gave it all their best but there comes a time when you need to explore other things and it's only normal and fair.

It's not a slap in the face, he's not saying "I don't care about Harry Potter franchising" or "I'm sick of this, it's been awful" or something. He's just stating they've done their course..everything comes to an end. Imagine for an actor to do the same role for almost ten years..Dan has always been grateful cause HP made him known and made him able to get some roles etc (as Emma did also) but now it's done and he doesn't wanna be recognized just as Harry (even though people will probably do that). It's discouraging for an actor to be seen as JUST that role. Daniel wants to prove he can act besides HP and he will do that. So there's only support.

That's true, I the Media was just trying to twist his words a little bit. I know it's time to move on and I support that.

Are you all so harsh when people say the wrong name? I had the name David in my head, doesn't mean I don't know the real name... O.O

Daniel Radcliffe kind of melted together with Harry Potter there's no mentioning one without the other. That must be awfully disturbing for him because thus he has no space to develop and build his career. He is a grown up actor but still lives in the shadow of his child self, the one to portrayed the main character of a story for children. And adolescence wishes nothing but to be considered grown up and leave their child self behind. I do understand Dan.

I don't blame him one bit. It must be tiring playing the same role over again. Personally i can't wait to see him in other film roles where he'll be given something more challenging to work with.

I think he's just speaking his mind and I support him -- and I agree with him. Harry Potter is over. It's had an awesome run, and it'll never truly be forgotten, but it's done. I don't blame him for wanting to get out from under the shadow of "Harry" and wanting to stretch his legs (so to speak).

Well I think Daniel is grateful for Harry Potter. I think he is only saying he is over Harry because he is moving on with his acting career as are his Harry Potter co-stars. Daniel will never forget Harry as Harry Potter was a huge part of his life and He will always be remembered for Harry Potter.

He wants to get past his acting of Harry to more complex roles within the entertainment industry, all actors want to build there career, even if daniel has enough money to do nothing for the rest of his life, he wants to be seen more than Harry Potter, i totally understand his thinking, doesnt make me think less of him :)

I'm cool with it. He's done with the movies and I know for a fact that he wouldn't want to be type-casted forever. I'm sure he enjoyed playing him, but I respect his attitude about moving on.

First of all J.K. Rowling doesn't need to write anymore HP books because she has millions of dollars(or pounds in Britain I guess) coming towards her. I can understand that he wants to move onto other stuff.

It doesn't surprise me

I bet fans go up to him and say "Harry Potter OMG"

He's just tired. He's been playing the same guy for many years.

How can you blame him?

I don't blame him, if he wants to move on to other stuff, then don't pick on him if as if he turns down the role for more movies.

He's an actor. He isn't ACTUALLY Harry Potter.

If I was him, I would be a little sick of playing the same character all the time.

I'm sure he'd like to be known for just more than Harry Potter.

its just disappointing he's basicly become harry potter himself and changing the face of harry potter for the last movie would just ruin the whole thing
