'Harry Potter' Daniel Radcliffe: 'I'll miss being an action hero'

The actor makes his final appearance as the boy wizard in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which sees Harry take on his nemesis Lord Voldemort for the final time.
"I'll miss getting to do some of the stuff I get to do as Harry," Radcliffe confessed. "I don't really have the natural frame and stature of an action hero; it's kind of a gift for a young actor to be able to do all that stuff."
Radcliffe, who is currently appearing on Broadway, recalled: "I got to do a 40-foot free-fall down a roof when I was 15, do all the underwater stuff, bursting out of the water surrounded by a ring of fire - I will never get to do that again in my career."
The 22-year-old concluded: "So yeah, I will miss some of the opportunities playing Harry affords you."
Radcliffe joined co-stars including Emma Watson and Rupert Grint at the David Yates-directed finale's world premiere in London's Trafalgar Square last night.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 opens in cinemas next Friday, July 15.
