Ask Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe Joel Ryan / AP

First bursting onto the Hollywood scene at the tender age of 11 as bespectacled wizard Harry Potter, Radcliffe later sparked intrigue when he performed in the nude in the 2007 stage production of Equus in London. The actor, now 19, is currently shooting the seventh and final installment of the Harry Potter film series, which has grossed nearly $4.5 billion worldwide to date (J.K. Rowling's books, on which the movies are based, have sold more than 400 million copies). Movie No. 6, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, is in theaters July 15. Submit your questions for Daniel Radcliffe below, then read the interview in an upcoming issue of TIME magazine.

    Much of the Harry Potter story is about witchcraft and sorcery. Obviously, this includes references to hallucinogenic and shamanistic type herbs.

    As a British subject, you must have great pride in representing your country in the HP movies, they have been quite successful. Do you ever think about the fact that you indeed represent your homeland and what it means to you?

    Do you have "souvenirs" from some of the movies or do you plan to get some things to take home after the movies are done?

  • 23

    You have to know that part of your identity will always be as Harry Potter. I think it's smart that you are branching out into other areas while still filming them, so you have a different base to work from. So with that, when Harry Potter is finished, how do you see your acting career developing? Stage work? What kind of movie roles?

    Also curious about your relationship with Emma and Rupert off-set.
