Daniel Radcliffe understands that ‘Harry Potter’ is his second name

British actor Daniel Radcliffe knows very well that he’ll always be linked to his wand-wielding character Harry Potter - because Harry Potter has “given him everything.”

He says, “It’s a reality you have to come to terms with - rather than letting it bother you, just accept the fact that there will always be some people who will forever see you for the one part you are most famous for. It’s not that I want to distance myself from it because… they’ve given me everything… it’s just a matter of being an actor rather than a character.”

There’s nothing bad about being remembered for something as good as Harry Potter but once the euphoria gradually fades away and may be it wont. If it does then he’ll be what he is at that point in time and if does not then he’ll probably be a legend like Sean Connery or Roger Moore have been from James Bond.

But he has to keep up the good work and keep acting well because people these days have a short memory – Hero today gone tomorrow.
