In a new interview from the set of his new film  The Woman in Black, Daniel Radcliffe talks about moving on from Harry Potter and his role in the horror film being released in October.

“You know, it is weird but when it’s become such a part of your life, it feels almost the same as saying goodbye to your teenage years and it is very sad but it is also an inevitability,” says the star. “And yeah, while I had an amazing time, ten years is enough to spend with one character. I loved every second of it but I’m excited about moving on more than scared or upset. I think it’s one of the great challenges to get people to buy me as something else. [I’m playing a] father and widower, two things I don’t have direct experience of.”

The stage version offered some serious thrills and chills and we’re expecting the same from the movie, which is incidentally being produced by the infamous (and newly resurrected) Hammer studios. “I would call it a character-driven horror film along the lines of The Orphanage or The Others. It’s slow-burning and it’s very, very scary. It’s about loss, family and fear,” summarises Radcliffe.
