Heres the info:

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has gone on the record about the recent rumors that he's up for the lead role of Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit.

The Los Angeles Times recently spoke with the 20 year-old actor, who dismissed the idea of appearing in the Guillermo del Toro-directed prequel to Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning trilogy. "I'd have to say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' not that anyone has asked me," the paper quotes Radcliffe as saying.

He added, "Honestly, I don't think they would want me anyway; it's just too close. Whatever I do next, I don't think there will be any wizards in it!"

Radcliffe did weigh in on who he thinks should play Bilbo: "James McAvoy is fantastic. I think he should play it. I've done the fantasy film thing. Actually, so has he, with the Chronicles of Narnia, of course. But I've done it for longer. He can take over. I'm done."

So it defintley wont be him!

Ozy out.

Really?

I don't know about McAvoy. I'd really have to see that to believe in it.

ugh, all i could think about when watching the latest Harry Potter movie is how bad his acting was! when he smiles, frowns, looks sad - they all look forced and fake like a kid in a school play. if he's in the movie, ill give it a miss! DO. NOT. WANT.

Please no more Radcliffe even in Harry Potter. I predict he'll do a movie about a male prostitute and then vanish from the lime light. He's got it written all over him.

I saw this earlier this week. I was happy he said something to debunk the rumors that have been going around for over a year.
