Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has admitted that he was glad to be rid of the boy wizard’s school uniform.

The 19-year-old actor is currently filming the seventh and final movie in the series, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, which breaks from tradition by being set away from Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry.

Reflecting on the first six films, Radcliffe told the Daily Express:

“One of the worst things to be wearing while trying to chat up a girl is a school uniform. You look like a kid! You’re not going to score dressed like that.”

It is believed that the cast’s uniforms were packed away once filming for Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince was completed – though Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) kept his tie as a souvenir.

Radcliffe added:

“I was hoping they’d throw them on a giant bonfire. Oh my God, to be done with that uniform and those shoes, that was an exciting day.”
