First Look | Daniel Radcliffe
He’s 22. He’s worth close to £50m. He’s among the most recognisable film stars in the world. And this month, with The Woman in Black, he makes his most dramatic bid yet to bury the ghost of Harry Potter. For our March issue, we join him on a stroll through Manhattan’s West Village, where Britain’s most unassuming household name reflects on quitting drink, finally finding a woman of his own age, coming to terms with great wealth and why he still rolls his own.

I arrived this morning in Brazil, where I’m attending a conference on luxury, having flown straight here from a rather hedonistic weekend in Berlin. [Read more...]

Want list | The new Sony Walkman
You may regard it as quaint, but some of us still like to keep our music and phones separate. The proof? There’s a serious market for high-end PMPs (portable media players) out there – just look at the iPod Touch and Samsung Galaxy Player.
