In a new interview
with Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe, Dan talks about his future plans, how he'll feel in 19 years and comments on how he reacted to the last book in the series, Deathly Hallows, and other subjects.
Dan on continuing his education:
What will be great is it's without the pressure of exams and deadlines. He's going to take me through the books you need someone's help with, like Paradise Lost and Ulysses stuff I would never be able to read without help to illuminate it for me.
When asked where he would be in 19 years (paralleling the timeframe in HP7 epilogue):
Hopefully, I'll still be acting. I'll be writing and maybe along the way or further that than, I'd like to direct something. But this is all very hypothetical, so I don't know; I couldn't possibly say.

Wherever he is in 19 years I'm sure he will be very successful and will have probably fulfilled all those thing he says he want to do.

I hate those kind of questions. " Where are you going to be in X amount of years". How could anyone possibly know where they are going to be in the future. People should ask "Where would you like to be in X amount of years" or "What would you like to be doing in X amount of years"...

He has such a promising future ahead of him... i only hope fame doens't ruin it, or rather him. But i think he seems to quite level headed, expect to see him succeed at whatever he does.

I want to hear him sing - I saw a vid of him singing Happy Birthday to JK Rowling quickly in the HP5 premiere.

The_girl_who_lived89, no offence, but, it's technically impossible. Firstly, it takes 18 months for 2 kids. If it's 9 months, you most certainly are aiming at a 25% chance of twins. So, FORGET BOUT DAN RAD COZ HE'S MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

love u DanRad, Dan will be 37 in 19 years and so will I. I can understand why you (or I) can't have 2 children in that time! Sorry but it was only a joke. Dan belongs to himself...:P

It would be good for Daniel to write and direct, but also keep acting. It would be cool seeing him in blockbusters other than Harry Potter.

Very nice interview. He seems so well put together and mature for his age. I really look up to him for that. As for what he will be doing in 19 years, I am sure he will still be in the business and just as successful as ever. He definitley has the potential to direct. As for musicals--- I don't know--- I guess I will have to wait to hear him sing. And I do agree with Dan--- A Harry Potter musical does not sound like such a good idea. But oh well, good luck to him and his future.

He's not planning on going to college? That's a surprise. I thought he would. He sounds genius, I don't even know why he thought that he wasn't good enogh for a University. Of course he's good enough! Everyone is, just as long as one puts his heart into it. I guess it's just different for him. :)
Oh, I am so looking forward to see him on the big screen nineteen years from now. :) That'll be so awesome!

I cant wait to see all of the things Daniel will do as he grows. I think he would have an excellent eye for directing, with all of his acting experience. I think. I think one day, will be famous for much more then the Hp movies.

Well i must say that dan is a very clever lad and would not be this successfully or wouldn't even be a big a hit to his millions of fans if he isn't rather witty. Stay in School and Stay on Set dan! ;)

Dan in a musical? I haven't seen December Boys so I don't know if he is any good at singing. But if he is, that would be really cool to see. I also agree that I don't know how Harry Potter the musical would work out.

MRS DAN RADCLIFFE says:
That's so cool!!! So what is dan going to write poems, frictions or something else? If he is going to direct in future then i wish him best. I think he is going to be superb actor in future[he IS a good now].
I would like him to sing in one of his interviews as we have never heard him sing,just to check out if he is as good a singer as he is an actor. I have heard that dan also plays guitar so i think thats musical for him.
NKKKKKKKK
