They say it's never too late to reinvent yourself, but is it too early? Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe says it is, at the world premiere of the "The Woman in Black", his first movie after the hugely successful franchise. SOUNDBITE: Daniel Radcliffe, Actor, saying (English): "I don't know reinvention. It seems a little early in my life to be reinventing myself. But yes obviously it's the first film after Potter. I look very different -- it's a very different type of film. I don't really think of it as a reinvention, it's just more of like the first step in the rest of my career." The boy wizard is all grown up in his latest endeavour - a horror film. It tells the story of a young lawyer and father mourning the death of his wife. He's forced to look into the legal matters of the recently deceased owner of a creepy mansion. During his research, he discovers a dark family secret, that helps explain the appearance of a mysterious phantom woman dressed in black. The movie is vastly different from the boy wizard character which defined him in his youth but does he feel critics are out to get him? SOUNDBITE: Daniel Radcliffe, Actor, saying (English): "I don't know. I don't really spend my time thinking about what they're thinking about. It's not a really constructive way for me to think. I just have to do my job on set the day I do it." His co-star Ciaran Hinds says of Radcliffe: watch this space. SOUNDBITE: Ciaran Hinds, Actor, On Radcliffe's Future Career, saying (English): "He's many strings to his bow, he's a lot of arrows in his quiver I think and more to come and of course he's so young but that gives him time for development. And to me, you know I haven't seen him tonight, but to me he doesn't seem to be sitting on where he is already, he's having to push and keep developing and that can only augur well for him as an actor in the future." Radcliffe has starred on stage and won rave reviews for his performance in Equus. With the end of the Potter franchise, the actor is hanging up his wand for good and hoping audiences will grow with him. His next project "Kill Your Darlings" sees him playing the American poet Allen Ginsburg. "The Woman in Black" hits cinemas in Britain on February 10th and a week earlier in the United States.
