Being constantly associated with one character isn’t good for anybody in a movie business and Daniel Radcliffe is well aware of that. That’s why he hopes that someday he will manage not to entirely get rid of the Harry Potter label, but simply become recognized as an actor in his own right.

He said: ”I do think it will be another few years before we see an article that won’t mention Potter. I’m not sure that will happen. The goal isn’t to stop Harry Potter being written about; that’s unachievable. The goal is to make myself an actor rather than just one character. I think that’s starting to happen.”

Daniel also admitted that he is probably too self-critical (he can’t bring himself to watch all the movies from the teenage wizard franchise), but he is working on changing that. ”I think it’s important to be your own toughest critic because that way you’ll always be driven to get better. But it’s important to temper that with being able to give yourself credit for something you’re pleased with. I was very bad at that before. I was unable to see anything good, but now I’m starting to.”
