Sometimes actors are associated with a role to such an extent that they will always be remembered as that character, no matter the projects they may take on afterward. For some time now, actor Daniel Radcliffe has found himself in such a position, being known as the boy wizard Harry Potter.

While for folks my age Radcliffe will always be Potter, it seems as if he has grown up enough to not be recognized as the sorcerer by younger children. Speaking with MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Radcliffe talked about no longer being known as Potter as well as how lucky he was to play the character.

“I do have a thing sometimes where I meet kids now and their parents will bring them up to me and they’ll be like ‘this is Harry Potter’ and the kids will be like ‘no it’s not’. It is very strange but also genuinely lovely when somebody comes up and says ‘you were a huge part of my childhood’. For me The Simpsons was a massive thing and the idea that I could occupy a similar place in someone’s else life is so crazy and wonderful. I always say I’m incredibly lucky to have got famous with Harry Potter because it is a genuinely beloved thing.”

Radcliffe has a great attitude about the situation, some actors become more and more bitter over time with roles they are famous for playing. Radcliffe realizes while he will always be Potter to most people, there’s a good chance he wouldn’t be known for anything else, without having played Harry Potter. Radcliffe was 11 when he was first cast as the wizard and is now approaching 30.
