Daniel Radcliffe is lining up his first post-Harry Potter movie role -- he is set to play a celebrated photojournalist who was killed in Somalia.
The 19-year-old wraps shooting on the boy-wizard franchise next year and is already looking toward his future career.
And he's determined to take a part close to his heart -- playing British journalist Dan Eldon, who was battered to death in 1993.
Radcliffe says, "I have a few projects on the boil, but the one that I am really interested in is based on the real-life story of a photojournalist, Dan Eldon, who was only 22 when he was killed by an angry mob in Somalia in 1993.
"He was a really heroic guy and we are just waiting for the green light on that one. It all depends on the funding."
