“For a while,I thought,if I do all of them,will I be able to move on to other stuff or should I start doing other stuff now?,” he added.

However,Radcliffe decided to stay back because he realised the value of his role.

“But in the end I decided I was having way too much fun. And actually there aren’t many great parts out there for teenage boys,certainly not as good as Harry Potter.”
