Daniel Radcliffe wants lots of children.

The 'Harry Potter' actor is an only child and would love to have a huge family himself some day although he admitted it will be up to his partner as she will be the one who has to carry them.

Radcliffe, 25, who is currently dating Erin Darke, told People: "Maybe because I'm an only child, I love the idea of lots of kids. But it will depend to a larger part on who I end up having kids with. I think men would be a lot less excited about having kids if we had to actually do it!"

Meanwhile, Radcliffe revealed his parents have kept him grounded despite him shooting to fame as a child, by reminding him of how lucky he is.

"I'd come whine about something that happened on the set, and my dad would say, 'You're not down in a coal mine.' It's a very good way of putting things into perspective," he said.
