But David was slightly more realistic about what the family movie can get away with: "No, Harry Potter nudity doesn’t really work, we’ll see what happens in the seventh book, who knows?"

Daniel: I don’t see myself as a celebrity - July 2 2007
He may be Britain’s richest teenagers with a whopping £23 million fortune to his name - but Daniel Radcliffe still insists he doesn’t see himself as a celebrity.

The Harry Potter idol says "Our culture is very much centred around this celebrity thing and, personally, I define a celebrity as somebody who is famous but the things that they enjoy most about the fame are the parties and all the glamorous stuff.

"That’s fine and it’s fun, but the thing that I love doing is the work and the acting, rather than all the peripheral stuff that goes with it - anyway, I don’t see myself as a celebrity, I’ve known me all my life!" he laughs.

The tales of the Harry Potter idol’s imminent coming of age, both on and off screen, is exactly the kind of splash that the world’s paparazzi are praying for on a daily basis, but Daniel insists that he’s simply not going to play ball.

"Since day one the press have been, on the whole, really, really nice and supportive, but you get the sense that half of them are always wishing for the story about kid stars spectacularly going off the rails," Daniel grins.

"But I think that we’ve all been pretty set on the idea of just not giving them that - that would be too easy."


Daniel in final Potter flicks - June 29 2007
Daniel Radcliffe has apparently signed up for the final two Harry Potter films, in a deal worth 50 million dollars.

The 18-year-old will earn 25 million dollars to star in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince and the same again for The Deathly Hallows, the Daily Mail reports.

The actor insists he’s not in it for the fee though, saying: "The money is absolutely fantastic and I’m very grateful, but it’s not the main thing that drives me. I am my own person."

He added: "Obviously, I’m in a very fortunate position where I don’t have to do things for the money. I can simply do them because there’s an interesting character and a good director involved."

Daniel’s also due to star in First World War drama My Boy Jack alongside Kim Cattrall and David Haig.

And, after wowing audiences in the West End with his performance in Equus, he’s set to take the play to Broadway between filming commitments.

"It would be very hard to turn it down," he said.


Daniel’s ’comfortable’ kiss - June 26 2007
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe says his first on-screen kiss was a doddle compared to stripping naked on stage.

The 17-year-old has a love scene with fellow Hogwarts pupil Cho Chang (Katie Leung) in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.

It follows his West End debut in Equus, a role which included full-frontal nudity.

"Once you’ve been on stage naked in front of 1,000 people you really feel you can do most anything without inhibition," he said.

"Being naked was possibly not as complicated as kissing - although belt buckles can give everybody a bit of trouble at times - but kissing Katie was a very, very comfortable experience, especially when compared to being naked on stage and blinding horses.

"And Katie will be relieved to know that I preferred kissing her."
