Radcliffe faces struggle overcoming Harry Potter label
Daniel Radcliffe admits he faces a battle moving on from 'Harry Potter'.

The 24-year-old actor starred in the wizard franchise and he insisted it will take a long time for him to stop being associated with the series.

Speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday (09.09.13) Daniel - who has 'The F Word', 'Kill Your Darlings' and 'Horns' at the annual event - admitted he hoped the new projects would help him avoid being typecast in the future.

He told E! News: ''There's never going to be one film that comes out that officially breaks me away from Harry ... It's a process.

''But I definitely think that these three films are a part of that ... You don't make a long-term plan in the film industry because it's very hard to.''

In the past, Daniel has revealed he hopes to emulate Dustin Hoffman and become a leading man in Hollywood despite his short stature.

He said: ''The person I've been looking at is Dustin Hoffman. In fact, I passed him the other day and he is absolutely on the shorter side, as am I.

''But he was in all those great roles, from action thrillers to romantic stuff. So there is a way of doing it unconventionally if you don't necessarily look like the 6ft romantic lead.'

The boy who lived is popular on screen and offscreen no doubt😆

He'll always be remembered for Harry Potter. Though, I really hope he gains recognition playing other roles too . I would love to see him and Emma paired opposite each other on screen in the future- not as Harry and Hermione, but as other characters, of course. :D

well Daniel will always be Harry Potter..
but he's a talented actor too..
while watching his other movies it never crossed my mind he's looking like Harry Potter.. he always looks like the character he's playing..

and nowadays height does not matter at all.. Dan is 5'6.. Tom Cruise is 5'7.. He's one of the biggest star of Hollywood..
even in Bollywood Aamir Khan is only 5'6.. and he's one of the most successful actors of India..

Charlie Chaplin was 5'4 n 1/2..

Looks does not matter in Industry.. talent does..

Well he has been categorized as HP, but I'm sure he'll break out of it soon.

I think all of the actors, the main ones like Dan, Emma, Rupert will have trouble breaking away from their HP image. Emma has been trying to do different things to be seen as something different rather than always being associated with Hermione. I don't know what Rupert's up to but Dan's body of work recently shows he's trying to prove that he's not just the boy who was Harry Potter but something more than that. It's commendable but I think Dan will have a tougher time because he's not what most people consider hunky and sexy unlike Tom. Tom is tall and handsome (though I love Dan as well) and he'll probably get some typical Hollywood roles like hot guy in a rom-com or something but no one sees Dan like that. But I wish all of them luck to forge new identities and be remembered for their recent work but for me, I will always love them for being in the most amazing film series ever!
