Can you grow out of being Harry Potter, beloved boy wizard, hero to billions of children? Unfortunately, you can, if you're not just a glint in J.K. Rowling's eye, a vision of her imagination. If you're actually flesh and blood like Daniel Radcliffe, who's been playing Harry on-screen for the last nine years, mortality is a given. But, as heartthrob Robert Pattinson has proven with "Twilight," there is life after "Harry Potter." And, of course, fans still have the two installments of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
