How's your reaction to the star of Harry Potter doing mature roles?

He's 18, whats the BIG DEAL? I'm pleased that he wants to continue in his acting career. Frankly, there's only so many roles for a young man his age. He'll be continuing and getting more parts as he gets older.

I thinks it's ok if he thinks it's for his growth as an actor then we can't stop him. He's mature enough to decide for himself. And whatever decisions he may have may it be good or bad, it was his choice and his responsibility.^_^

Daniel Radcliffe is acting too mature for his new stage play... I hope he finished the Harry Potter series first before he took mature roles. It is because children are still patronizing Harry Potter and it is not right for them to know that Harry is getting nude publicity this time.

i think its fine. He has grown up and he cant physically portray a young boy anymore. the only logical choice is to take roles that are more mature.

taking a mature role also helps to try and distance himself from the Harry Potter character..otherwise he will end up type-cast and that almost never gets an actor more work.

besides its a play geared towards adults. any parent that feels their child shouldnt see "harry potter" naked shouldnt be taking their child to a play where ANYONE is featured naked.

we all grow up, its just that Radcliff has been in the spotlights for all his growing years. and when the movies are said and done, and we see him again, its just a shock to realize how much time has actually passed.

He's mature enough to understand the role and besides being 18 and legal,he knows he's got to move on with other roles besides harry potter.So..if he's ok with it..then i see no problem with that.

After all Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliff is growing up. He has to take up matured roles. In the Potter movies themselves, he is different in the first movie than what he is acting in the current part of the movie. He is growing and his roles are getting matured part by part of the Potter Movie. Romance entered later, he became ferocious slowly. Acting is performing all sorts of roles. So why not Daniel takes up mature roles?

Well when you see the star doing mature roles as well then the achievement of harry potter in his films look artificial you are not able to corelate him with the role, so it does makes a difference.

It's fine with me. There is life after Harry. Daniel needs to move on and see what else he can do. I say go for it. Otherwise he will always be known as Harry Potter.

To be honest I think people are blowing this way out of proportion and drawing more attention to it than need be.:) The killing blow to any actor or actress' career is to get typecast into a role. The Fonz was THE Fonz and when henry Winkler made guest appearances on seperate television shows he either had to give his trademark gretting or was addressed by the show's regular cast as "Hey! You're The Fonz!" As a result a perfectly talented actor's career was pretty much shot. Due to all the fame and notoriety of the HP movies I think it's a wise decision on his part to move away from HP and to establish himself as Daniel Radcliff, talented actor, rather than Harry Potter.

On top of that he is taking up a truely ardurous task. Acting on stage in front of an audience is nothing like acting in a movie and this will give him a true challenge and test of his abilities. I appluad Daniel's decision. To me, to be opposed to an actor's decision to expand their horizons and challenge themselves to their fullest potention is to reject them as an individual and an actor.

I really don't think it should matter what roles he takes on. Do people care that the star of Inspector Gadget and several other movies for kids stared in Torch Song Trilogy? Many, many actors who do movies for kids also do adult orientated movies. It shouldn't matter what other roles he does. He's an actor and should be allowed to act. He needs to earn a living just like anyone else. I think the people who have a problem with it should really rethink things over. They are putting way too much into it and need to worry about more important things then what an actor is doing in a movie.
