Daniel Radcliffe

Following Sacha Baron Cohen's departure from the lead role in the Freddie Mercury biopic, the film's writer Peter Morgan was unconvinced the project would ever happen, but perhaps it can survive after all with a bit of magic. According to a report, Daniel Radcliffe is the next in line for the gig.

Now that the ‘Harry Potter’ film series has ended after an eight movie run, Daniel Radcliffe is a boy wizard no more. And while the 22-year old does have a fairly successful dramatic stage career to fall back on, the world will get to see if he can also do comedy when he hosts ‘Saturday Night Live’ this weekend.

"SNL"'s hosts for January are set.

Wow ... it's been going for so long. It's going to be weird not having to keep an eye out any Harry Potter stuff for all the fans. For reference the first Harry Potter movie came out in 2001. I'm getting all misty eyed. Check the last Potter trailer after the jump.
