Harry's gone bad! Daniel Radcliffe channels his wizarding arch-nemesis Lord Voldemort as he steps out in London with a buzz cut
He shot to fame playing the boy who lived, but it seems that Daniel Radcliffe is now taking style tips from his character's wizarding arch-nemesis, Lord Voldemort.
Looking more like Lord Voldemort than Harry Potter, the 26-year-old actor cut a very different figure with his shaved head when he visited the BBC Radio 1 studios in London, on Wednesday.
Having chopped off his shaggy brown hair in September, the London-born actor appeared to be channelling some of J.K. Rowling's nefarious wizard's look as he hit the capital's streets still sporting a cropped cut.

Harry's gone bad? He shot to fame playing the boy who lived, but it seems that Daniel Radcliffe is now taking style tips from his character's wizarding arch-nemesis, Lord Voldemort
The character, brought to life by Ralph Fiennes in the epic spell-slinging film series, makes it his mission to kill Daniel's character Harry; however, after a series of battles Harry slays Voldemort in a duel.
But while Daniel has clearly put his days playing the champion of Hogwarts behind him, the Kill Your Darlings star's latest look is his most extreme yet since finishing work on the films in 2011.
Having debuted the new cut in September as filming on his latest film Imperium got underway, Daniel transformed himself both mentally and physically into FBI undercover agent Nate Foster.
Stepping out in the dreary and wet British capital, the award-winning actor appeared in high spirits and, despite having finished filming the thriller last month, was still sporting his dramatic buzz cut.

Softening the harsh cut: Sporting a casual look to soften the impact of his close-cropped cut, Daniel wore a pair of boot cut jeans, a blue jumper and a black Harrington jacket
Smiling as he hit the promotional trail in his home-town of London, the star was clearly in good spirits.

Rounding his casual vibe off with a pair of trainers, the Harry Potter star added a rugged edge to his laid-back look by sporting a straggly and wispy beard.
And while he's been busy playing an undercover hardman, the star proved he's still as humble as ever when he stopped to snap selfies with some of his waiting fans.

Imperium will see newly-bald Daniel trade wizardry for undercover antics as an FBI agent trying to infiltrate a group of Neo-Nazis in order to stop them from creating a dirty bomb.
The film, directed by short filmmaker Daniel Ragussis (who is making Imperium his debut feature production), is based on the true story and experiences of undercover agent Michael German, who co-wrote the script with the director.
Filming on the hard-hitting new movie is set to begin later in autumn, but it means that Daniel has a hectic schedule ahead, as it's not the only project on which he's currently working.
Daniel has recently been seen filming scenes for another film, an India comedy-drama called Swiss Army Man, in which he portrays a hopeless man stranded in the wilderness who befriends a dead body and takes off on a surreal journey to make it back to his home.
He has also been toiling away on a handful of other projects, most notably Victor Frankenstein, in which he appears with fellow British acting stalwart James McAvoy.
