Daniel Radcliffe – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · April 3, 2026

The two Harry Potter films earn their spots, but Swiss Army Man, Horns and Weird prove Daniel Radcliffe has spent the years since actively avoiding typecasting, and Guns Akimbo shows he’d rather take an odd small project than a safe one. Miracle Workers shows his comic range on television, Now You See Me 2 plays against his likeable image, Victor Frankenstein reimagines Igor beside James McAvoy, and Guns Akimbo bolts guns to a mild app developer’s hands. The Woman in Black rounds out the list.
