Radcliffe: 'I'll always be Harry Potter'

Daniel Radcliffe has admitted that he may always be identified with the role of the boy wizard in the Harry Potter
movies.

Speaking to Parade, Radcliffe acknowledged that it may difficult for audiences to accept him in new roles now that the Potter series is coming to a close.

"I think to a certain extent it's true that Harry will stick to me," he said. "I think in a lot of people's minds I will always be him. It's rather like the mafia, I guess. Once you're in, you never get out."

The actor continued: "I don't think I'm being typecast so far. But I would never be anything but proud to be associated with this film series forever."

Radcliffe also explained that working with the same crew over a 10-year period helped him to discover his "passion" for acting.

"Working with the people I've go to work with, I've gained things I wouldn't otherwise have had. For example, an immense passion about the film industry and a work ethic that I might not have had otherwise.

"So it's changed me, but I don't think necessarily negatively. It's all been good."

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 debuts on November 19 in US and UK cinemas.
