Harry Potter star 'will become a heart-throb' in new movie

The director of the Harry Potter films says he thinks the new one will turn Daniel Radcliffe into a "heart-throb".

The director of the Harry Potter films says he thinks the new one will turn Daniel Radcliffe into a "heart-throb".

Chris Columbus has directed both Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.

He says Potter fans will see Radcliffe become "more of a leading man" in the new film.

"In the last film the heart-throb was Tom Felton who played Draco Malfoy, everybody loves a bad boy right?" Columbus tells The Times Magazine.

"In this film it's going to be more over to Dan. He's really matured as an action adventure hero so in that respect he's a much stronger presence".

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets is released in the UK on November 15.
