DANIEL Radcliffe's no longer Harry Squatter.

The 13-year-old actor has shot up in height since he last starred as wizard Harry Potter last year.

And he showed off his more mature look in a shoot for July's edition of Vanity Fair magazine.

Daniel's grown eight inches to 5ft 4in since he first appeared in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

But movie producer Chris Columbus said his growing stature won't prevent him playing JK Rowling's magical creation in all seven planned movies.

Chris said: "In the books the kids get progressively older, so they could presumably play their roles for the seven films. It's up to them."

Daniel was joined by Emma Watson, 13, who plays Hermione, and 14-year-old Rupert Grint - Ron Weasley in the films - for the shoot.

They found out Scotland's weather isn't bad enough for Hollywood while filming in the Highlands.

Film makers working on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban had to bring in a rain machine.

Shooting ground to a halt - at a cost of £300,000 a day - because the dreich conditions did not produce the big raindrops they needed for crucial shots in and around Glencoe.

A Warner Brothers insider said yesterday: "The natural rain was pretty drizzly, which didn't suit, so a machine was hired."
