Millions of fans watched him grow up and mature as an actor between the ages of 12 to 21 in eight smash hit Harry Potter movies.
But Daniel Radcliffe is clearly ready to move on from his teenage wizard role.
The new full trailer for the 22-year-old's forthcoming movie The Woman in Black has just been released and shows a very different side to the star.
Maturing: Daniel Radcliffe is all grown up in the new trailer for his first full adult role in his forthcoming thriller film Woman in Black
Dressed in a three-piece black suit and tie, complete with pocket watch, the actor looks much more grown up and mature in his role as young solicitor Arthur Kipps.
There is also mention of him in the trailer of having a young son, quite a departure from J.K Rowling's famous boy wizard.
The trailer is suitably creepy, with Daniel's character being warned against travelling to the eerily named Eel Marsh house to settle the affairs of an elderly and reclusive widow following her death.
Studious: Daniel plays young solicitor Arthur Kipps in the movie and is seen here with a glass of what appears to be whiskey
Creepy: The movie role will be Daniel's first since the last instalment of Harry Potter
Bleak: Daniel's solicitor character is warned against travelling to creepy Eel Marsh House
The excerpt shows Daniel arrive at the bleak house, sift through papers with a glass of whiskey by his side and dramatically react to a room in flames.
'I feel she's there trying to reach me,' he says at one point about the mysterious figure, whose curse hides an even darker secret, it emerges.
The film is written by Jane Goldman and co-stars Ciaran Hinds as local landowner Sam Daily.
Spooky stuff: Radcliffe gazes out of the window to see a shadowy figure by a grave in the grounds
The beginning of hell: Radcliffe arrives at the town unaware of the supernatural presence which awaits him
Co-star: The film, which is released next February also stars Ciaran Hinds as a local landowner
Daniel recently told The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye that the role of Arthur Kipps is 'the first time I've played older than myself.'
'It's my first grown-up role,' he said. 'I'm supposed to be 24 in this. And I've got a son.'
The star, who is currently appearing in Broadway musical How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, admitted he was nervous about moving on from Harry Potter.
'I will have to work hard to stay busy, and try to separate myself from that character. So, I am slightly trepidatious. But whatever cannot be avoided, must be accepted.'
Warning: Arthur is told to stay away from creepy Eel Marsh House, which turns out to be haunted
A candle and a weapon: The young solicitor encounters an angry spirit of the undead whose curse hides an even deeper secret
'The Woman In Black is very different from Harry Potter,' he said. 'But it's different enough without me having to go all extreme and play a drug- dealing rent boy, or something where people go: "Oh, OK, he's trying to shock us now." I was simply after a good role.'
And fans will have a fright in store if Daniel's reaction to the screenplay is anything to go by.
'It's scary on the page - absolutely terrifying! And I must have freaked them out on the plane because I was pretty jumpy. By the time I landed, I knew I had to do it.'
Film of fear: The new movie will be released in the U.S. on February next year
