Daniel Radcliffe, hot off stellar reviews for his performance in controversial play 'Equus,' has signed on for the final two films in the 'Harry Potter' franchise, reports Reuters. His publicist released the announcement earlier today. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" begins filming in September. Radcliffe has been playing the world-famous wizard on the big screen since 2001, and his face has become the face of the character for millions of fans. Alongside Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, Radcliffe has enchanted audiences as the world has watched him (and Harry) grow up. Recently, Radcliffe has endured some criticism for his choice to perform in Peter Shaffer's Equus, in which Radcliffe's character blinds horses and appears nude on-stage. However, theatre critics have greeted his performance warmly, giving hope to everyone who wants him to have an independent career once the "Potter" hype is finally over.
