LONDON , England ( Reuters ) -- Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe gains access to a reported £20 million ( $ 41.1 million ) fortune as he turns 18 on Monday , but he insists the money wo n't cast a spell on him . Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter in `` Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix '' To the disappointment of gossip columnists around the world , the young actor says he has no plans to fritter his cash away on fast cars , drink and celebrity parties . `` I do n't plan to be one of those people who , as soon as they turn 18 , suddenly buy themselves a massive sports car collection or something similar , '' he told an Australian interviewer earlier this month . `` I do n't think I 'll be particularly extravagant . `` The things I like buying are things that cost about 10 pounds -- books and CDs and DVDs . '' At 18 , Radcliffe will be able to gamble in a casino , buy a drink in a pub or see the horror film `` Hostel : Part II , '' currently six places below his number one movie on the UK box office chart . Details of how he 'll mark his landmark birthday are under wraps . His agent and publicist had no comment on his plans . `` I 'll definitely have some sort of party , '' he said in an interview . `` Hopefully none of you will be reading about it . '' Radcliffe 's earnings from the first five Potter films have been held in a trust fund which he has not been able to touch . Despite his growing fame and riches , the actor says he is keeping his feet firmly on the ground . `` People are always looking to say 'kid star goes off the rails , ' '' he told reporters last month . `` But I try very hard not to go that way because it would be too easy for them . '' His latest outing as the boy wizard in `` Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix '' is breaking records on both sides of the Atlantic and he will reprise the role in the last two films .

Earlier this year , he made his stage debut playing a tortured teenager in Peter Shaffer 's `` Equus . '' Meanwhile , he is braced for even closer media scrutiny now that he 's legally an adult : `` I just think I 'm going to be more sort of fair game , '' he told Reuters . E-mail to a friend .
