Daniel Radcliffe: 'New role hard for fans'



Daniel Radcliffe admitted that he knows it will be a challenge for fans to see him in a role outside of Harry Potter.

The actor will
appear as Arthur Kipps in the adaptation of Susan Hill's The Woman In Black.

"It's one of the great challenges, to get people to buy me as something else," Radcliffe told Total Film.

Speaking about his character, he described Kipps as "a father and a widower - two things I don't have direct experience of."

He added: "I would call it a character-driven horror film, along the line of The Orphanage or The Others. It's slow-burning and it's very, very scary.

"It's about loss, family and fear... The overriding sense of death pervades the entire film."

The Woman in Black is scheduled to be released in October, several months after the final Harry Potter film.
