The Best Daniel Radcliffe Films That Aren’t Harry Potter

Starting strong, we're going for the television movie that secured Radcliffe his Emmy nomination. 

Radcliffe stars as "Weird Al" Yankovic in this biopic about the meteoric rise to fame of the musician and comedian who made a career out of changing the lyrics to hit songs.

From his conventional childhood to his early hits, 'Eat It' and 'Like a Surgeon', to his love affairs, right down to his famously excessive lifestyle, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story gets into the nitty gritty of this untold story.

What If

Joined by a stellar ensemble cast, including Zoe Kazan, Adam Driver, Megan Park, Mackenzie Davis and Rafe Spall, What If follows best friends Wallace and Chantry, who battle with the ever-green question in all of our minds about

It's a charming rom-com that's not spoken about as much as it should be, but Radcliffe and Kazan deliver great back-and-forth in the When Harry Met Sally-esque movie.

The Lost City

Radcliffe joins Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum in The Lost City, a film following reclusive romance author Loretta Sage, who embarks on a book tour with her cover model.

Things get heated when the two get swept away in a kidnapping attempt – this is where Daniel Radcliffe comes in – that lands them in the thick of an adventure they didn't sign up for.

Now You See Me 2

This would be a great one to watch, as it was recently revealed that Now You See Me 3 is in the works, with some exciting new cast members joining the original crew.

Now You See Me 2 was a follow-up to the 2013 film and follows the resurfacing of The Four Horsemen – played by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Lizzy Caplan – who are recruited by a tech wizard to pull off a ridiculous heist.

Who is that tech wizard, you ask? None other than Daniel Radcliffe. He stars as the energetic Walter Mabry, a businessman who trades magic for science and fakes his own death, an idea borrowed from Dave Franco's character, Jack Wilder.

The Woman in Black

Swiss Army Man

Perhaps the most mentioned of Radcliffe's filmography beyond the Potterverse is the 2016 film Swiss Army Man, from filmmakers Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who went on to make the Oscar-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Swiss Army Man features Radcliffe as Manny opposite Paul Dano's Hank.

When Hank gets stranded on a deserted island, he befriends the dead body of Manny, leading the unlikely duo down a surrealist path as they journey home.
