Daniel Radcliffe at photocall for the theatre play ' Equus' at Gielgud Theatre. London, England - 22.02.07

Radcliffe, 17, has been hailed by critics for his performance in the provocative PETER SHAFFER-written show, but urged his friends to keep clear of the West End production - much to their relief.

Potter co-star RUPERT GRINT says, "He told us he didn't want us at the play.

"I was glad because it would be a little weird and uncomfortable to see."
