(NYT) NEW YORK -- Sept. 10, 2008 -- RADCLIFFE-EQUUS-ADV14 -- Actor Daniel Radcliffe at the Broadhurst Theater in New York in August 2008. Radcliffe recently finished filming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the sixth in the blockbuster movie series in which he stars as the young wizard. Now he is preparing for his Broadway debut in a revival of the 1970s psychosexual drama "Equus." (It is to open Sept. 25.) Radcliffe, who turned 19 in July, appears to be negotiating the tricky transition from child star to adult actor without falling prey to drug-addled delusion, insufferable narcissism or late-night reality television.
