British actor Daniel Radcliffe, is convinced that the his upcoming role in the horror ‘The Woman in Black’ will free him from the shadow of ‘Harry Potter’. The 21-year-old played the role of young wizard ‘Potter’ for over a decade. He recently completed filming for the final installment, Harry Potter and the ‘Deathly Hallows: Part II’.

Already Radcliffe lined up numerous new projects, including a leading role in the spooky new adaptation of Susan Hill’s classic novel, ‘Woman in Black’ .

He says in an interview with the LA Times that it will be a challenge to look like a dad and a young father, but that if he gets it right, it will immediatly seperate him from Harry.

The movie will be the first new Hammer horror picture since the 1970s. Hammer Film Productions is the legendary British company responsible for classic movies including ‘The Curse of Frankenstein and ‘Dracula’. And Daniel is proud to be a part of that. He tells the Times ‘it’s wonderful to see that company, that name, in a resurgence’.

For Radcliffe, lets hope the name ‘Harry Potter’ will stop haunting him after this spooky movie.
