THERE'S MORE TO ME THAN HARRY POTTER
It's Day 2 in our amazing Hogwarts week. And today we speak to the film's star Daniel Radcliffe. Showbiz editor Rick Fulton talks to the young star of the latest J. K. Rowling blockbuster.

DANIEL Radcliffe is ready to prove to the world that he's more than just Harry Potter.

The 16-year-old actor has spent the past five years bringing J. K. Rowling's famous character to life. But he knows, if he's going to have a career outside of the Potter movies, he has to show that he can be more than the boy wizard.

His first chance will be with December Boys, which he is gearing up to shoot at the end of next year.

He will fly to Australia to play Maps, an orphan the same age as himself.

Daniel said: "He's very different from Harry. He doesn't have Harry's zest for life. But I don't feel under pressure. I just want to do the best job I can.

"I want to do a good accent so that the Australians watching the film are going: 'That's a good accent'."

It certainly seems Daniel is taking the part and the accent very seriously - he spends every Thursday training with a dialect coach from the National Theatre.


The film is about four Australian boys, Maps being the eldest, who have been brought up in a Catholic orphanage in the Australian Outback. The orphanage comes into money and the boys, who have never seen the sea before, are sent to the seaside as a birthday treat.


Daniel said: "I start filming the day after I arrive. It will be interesting with the jet lag, but it'll be great. I'm really, really excited about it.


"My dad's going with me, but my mom is coming out as well later on.


"We're down there probably for about six weeks, I think. We film part of it in Adelaide or Kangaroo Island but none of that is confirmed yet."


Despite a part in the Pierce Brosnan film The Tailor of Panama in 2001, with four Potter movies under his belt it seems Daniel is now out to prove he's got more going for him than being Harry.


With the fourth film in the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, out on Friday the lives of the boy wizard and Daniel are inextricably linked.


But each new film has people asking if it will be Daniel's last because he's getting too old to play the schoolboy. It would be difficult, however, to see anyone else in the role the actor has played since he was 11 in 2001's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.


At the moment he plays Harry as a 14 year old and, while he's already signed up to star in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, out in 2007, he said: "There is always this thing of whether we will get too old for the part. People actually play a lot younger than they are in real life.


"I don't think that it's as big an issue as a lot of people make it out to be."


It looks highly likely that he, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint will continue to star in all seven of the Harry Potter films even as they continue to mature.


Daniel said: "Ultimately, it comes down to whether we're still enjoying it. If we are, then I think it would be sort of stupid not to do them.


"As long as I'm doing enough other stuff around the same time, I think it'll be fine. Also, I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, there were bits in there where I was going: 'God, I would love to do that because it's so good'."


Despite the two-year age gap, Daniel still admits that he shares many parallels with his character - such as girls. He said: "Both me and Harry are not very good with women."


In the latest film Harry develops a crush on Cho Chang, played by Katie Leung in her debut. But Cho knocks back Harry when he asks her to the Yule Ball.


Daniel said: "I would like to say I get huge amounts of attention, but I think there's a sort of dividing thing between what people think they're going to get when they see the film and what the reality is. I think it's slightly grimmer possibly."


But Daniel is also unlike Harry in other ways - such as sport. As Harry, Daniel is in the premier league as a Quidditch player, but the actor admits that off-screen he's awful at sport, preferring to watch it on the television.


Daniel, who supports Fulham, laughed: "I'm not great at sport. I mean, I like watching athletics. Rupert (Grint, who plays Ron Weasley) is really into golf.


"But golf is not my thing. I don't think I'd be very good at it. I went putting once, which really isn't golf - it's half of golf, presumably the easier half. I used to be into football, but it's not so good now in that it's slightly harder for me to go to a match and I only like watching it live."


One thing is for sure, as anyone who saw him on Jonathan Ross's chat show recently will know: Daniel is full of beans.


An only child, he goes to the all-boys City of London School. Perhaps the world's most famous teenager, he is definitely one of the world's most recognisable people.


With the fourth film about to be released, he will spend the next few weeks going around the world promoting it at premieres as far afield as America and the Far East.


While it stars some of the UK's best actors and actresses, including Michael Gambon, Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Brendan Gleeson, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith and Timothy Spall, the film, like the books, is about the adventures of three friends: Harry, Ron, played by Rupert, and Hermione, played by Emma Watson. Each are now big stars - surely theremust be some jealousy when they go back to school?


Daniel shakes his head. He said: "I think that jealousy is sort of more an adult thing really.


"I mean there are elements of that with teens. But with particularly younger kids, like up to the age of 12, everyone's just really happy for me.


"I've come across it a couple of times at school, but it's not been a big deal and I don't pay attention to it. It's not worth worrying about.


"Basically, when you get back to school there's a sort of novelty factor. People are going: 'Ah, look who it is. It's that person.'


"It's like you're sort of running along with an extra arm or something, but after a few weeks it settles down and they say: 'Oh, that's just the kid with the extra arm.'


"So it doesn't seem to affect everyone so much. The only time that it peaks is if I'm ever at school when a film comes out. I was at school when the third came out and then it reached fever pitch again, mad. But it's not really a problem."


In the fourth helping of the famous J. K. Rowling series, directed by Mike Newell, Harry is selected under mysterious circumstances as a contestant in the Triwizard Tournament.


He must complete three dangerous tasks against the best young wizards from schools all over Europe.


But as he prepares, signs begin to point to the return of Lord Voldemort. Before long, Harry is playing not just for the Cup but for his life.


While Daniel had to train for six months for the underwater scenes, for fans perhaps the most important scene is the moment when Harry meets Voldemort, played by Ralph Fiennes.


Set in a graveyard, it is one of the reasons that the film is rated a 12A - which means that no one under the age of 12 can see the movie alone.


It's spooky, scary and has young Harry howling in pain while the evil Voldemort is laughing maniacally.


Daniel admitted: "It was a very intense experience.


"I learned from watching Ralph - the way he used his body and his hands, especially when Voldemort first regains his human form. It's fantastic."


And how was hugging Katie Leung, 18, who plays Cho?


"You know what: that was really awful for me," said Daniel with a laugh.


"No! That was great. That was fantastic. It was great fun - she's amazing."


# Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is released on Friday


DAN'S FAVOURITE ACTORS


"I LOVE Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes and Michael Gambon. I also have a lot of respect for German actor Daniel Bruhl, who is in The Educators and Goodbye Lenin. He's amazing. Gael Garcia Bernal is also a great talent. And, of course, I admire people like Laurence Olivier and Peter Sellers.


DAN'S FAVOURITE BANDS


"THE new Franz Ferdinand album is brilliant. I like that sort of indie rock. I also like more sort of orchestral stuff like Dogs. Hands up if you've heard of the band called Godspeed You Black Emperor? They are fantastic. My dad got me into stuff like David Bowie and I love Electric Warrior by TRex. What a brilliant album. I also really like We Are Scientists and The Rakes.
