The world best knows Daniel Radcliffe as the boy wizard Harry Potter but will it soon know him as Bond…James Bond? That is the rumor that a website has heard and according to their source Radcliffe’s people are considering it.

According to the Joblo website Radcliffe has been approached about playing a junior age secret agent in what would be an adaptation of Charlie Higson’s young James Bond books. Higson’s novels take place in the 1930s so that the older Bond is the same era as in Ian Fleming’s novels which took place in the Cold War. If the rumor is true it is more than likely that the setting would be moved to the modern day. Another factor to consider is the age of Radcliffe. In the young Bond books the character is in his early teenage years while Radcliffe is 18-years-old now. The actor probably won’t be available until after he finishes the seventh and final “Harry Potter” movie in two years. Daniel certainly won’t be free this fall as he is preparing to star in the Broadway version of his hit stage play “Equus”.
