Daniel Radcliffe Haunted by 'The Woman in Black'
A Patronus charm could have come in handy if it were "Harry Potter" but quite unluckily the time for wizards and magic has come to an end. In his first ever post-Potter film, Daniel Radcliffe speaks up on his character, Arthur, and how it felt being haunted by "The Woman in Black."
The world has seen him evolve from little boy under the stairs to the boy who lived. Ten years of incomparable success with a franchise unlike any other, the stars of "Harry Potter" have come a long way. July of 2011 had marked the end of an era but the magic still continues with each of the cast of the worldwide phenomenon paving their way to Hollywood's Hall of Fame.
Leading the pack of these talented and young celebrities is none other than the boy who lived, Daniel Radcliffe. In his first ever post-Hogwarts film, Daniel takes the role of a single father, Arthur Kipps, who handles the belongings of Alice Drablow who owns a haunted estate in the isolated village of Crythin Gifford. However, things do not go as planned as Dan is constantly haunted by a vengeful ghoul dressed in black in the house on the marsh.
The film has already hit the big screen and there has already been a lot of talk about the movie. Daniel has truly out done himself this time and he has achieved the goal of scaring viewers out of their wits. He might not have conjured a Patronus charm to keep him safe during filming but Daniel reveals that his experience during the filming of "Harry Potter" aided him in portraying the role. Even director James Watkins and screenwriter Jane Goldman were quite enthralled with Daniel's performance calling it a "revelation."
Daniel might have been haunted on film by "The Woman in Black" but his performance proved he is capable of acting beyond the wizarding world of "Harry Potter." With all the fame and glory, what does Daniel have to say in all this?
"Fame won't be around at this level for ever, so the moment it goes you'll suddenly realise that you don't know who you are," says Daniel. "I'm proud that I think I know who I am and what I come down to as a human being because I don't see myself as a famous person," continued Dan. Well said Daniel.
