going to / will; future plans

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)“I’m going to be in a musical on Broadway in New York. I’m also going to be in a horror film called Woman in Black. I’m going to do more acting. People call me ‘Dan’ instead* of ‘Harry’ now – I like that!”

Emma Watson (Hermione Granger)“I’m going to finish studying at university in America. I have worked hard since I was ten years old so I’m going to take a break. But I will act again in the future – I hope I’ll work with Daniel again!”

Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)“I’m going to dye* my hair or shave it off* so that people won’t recognize* me! I’ll miss being Ron, but I’m going to be in a film called Eddie the Eagle about an Olympic skier! Oh, and I’m going to spend more time playing golf.”

Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy)“I’m going to be in a science-fiction film. Then, I’m going to go on holiday and lie on a beach in the sun – my character Draco had very pale* skin so I couldn’t sunbathe* for ten years!

Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley)“I’m going to get married*! I’m going to marry Jamie Campbell Bower. [He was in Harry Potter and Twilight]. I’m going to finish my film course at college in London and I’ll continue acting.
