Daniel Radcliffe could be moving on from the "Harry Potter" series to "The Hobbit". Reporting on the actors rumored to be potentially cast as lead character Bilbo Baggins, Los Angeles Times through its Hero Complex blog listed the 19-year-old actor among other possible candidates, which allegedly include "Doctor Who" actor David Tennant and "Atonement" star James McAvoy.

About DR, I liked the first Harry Potter movie but think they should have replaced tHarry and his companions, since by the 3rd + movies they had aged beyond
the characters (partially due to the movies taking longer then book time to make).
Had that been done Radcliffe could have diversified more, not been typecast,
and been more credible and prepared for the role. Having said that, if he can be
suitably "aged" and "girthed" (Bilbo was never svelte
) physically he'd be
fine,but acting range wise ???
Perhaps the idea's to bring in fangirls since Legolas couldn't have much (if any) appearance in the films.
