"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe would like to try his luck in direction in the near future.

The 25-year-old actor said he would like to try sitting behind the camera, rather than in front, at some point in his career, reported Contactmusic.

"I would love to direct. I do it in my head when I'm watching other directors direct. 'No, don't say that to them!' I think I'm quite good with people. Part of being a director is knowing how different actors work in different ways. I'd enjoy it," he said.

The actor admits he has picked up the tricks of being a director after working with talent such as Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell and David Yates.
 

"The mistake I see even the really good directors make is they assume they are the only creative person on that set. And actually, make-up artists are not just girls with brushes who put foundation on, and costume guys are not just there to stitch up accidents. They are all immensely creative people," he added.
