From boy to man

Growing up on-screen for a decade as Harry Potter, 22-year-old Daniel Radellif has had to deal with typecasting(角色定位) his whole career. However, in a

new release called The woman in Black, the successful child actor finally escapes J.K.Rowling’s hero by taking on the lead role in a classic ghost story. The movie, which hit Chinese cinemas on Sept. 20, tells the tale of a widowed lawyer named Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) who is sent to a remote village in the north of England for a late client’s affairs. There, he discovers the town’s tragic past—children die after they see a mysterious woman dressed in black. To clear things up, he decides to stay alone in an old house, which is completely cut off from the mainland at high tide. His fears grow when he sees a woman in black looking at him from the window and hears the sound of a pony and trap in difficulty, followed by the screams of a young child. Kipps decides he must find a way to break the cycle of horror after his son is threatened by the mysterious woman.

The story pulls out every old, dark house cliché(老套路) going: demonic(恶魔的) dolls, rocking chairs, and the ghostly black-cloaked woman herself. However, it has become one of this year’s biggest box office winners in the UK when it was released there in February.

British movie critic Jamie Russell thinks what makes it so different, is how character-driven it is and how Radcliffe makes it count.

“The woman in Black works because of Radcliffe, not

There is not much conversation. Director James Watkins’s gambled on Radcliffe’s acting. He was not disappointed. “It’s an absolute joy doing the slow push in on Dan, reading his thoughts and letting the camera drift closer and closer into his eyes.” He told British magazine Total Film.

For the former Potter star who has longed for a career away from Hogwarts, this ghost movie is a step in the right direction.

“It’s mainly about working hard and proving to people you’re serious about it, and stretching (倾注全力) yourself and learning.” Radcliffe told British online newspaper The Huffington Post.

And he understands fame is fleeting. “The line that has made the most lasting impression on me was by[US
