Daniel Radcliffe Ranks His Favorite and Worst Harry Potter Movies

3 days ago 13

Daniel Radcliffe grew up in front of audiences as the Boy Who Lived in the Harry Potter film series. Potterheads love ranking their favorite books and movies, and this time around, we have a chance to see how much Radcliffe adores each movie. While on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz, he revealed that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 was his favorite, while Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince sat at the bottom of his list.

At the same time, he expressed affection for the film itself while being candid that his own performance fell short of what he was trying to achieve. Now, let’s look at how he rates other movies in the saga, and his reasoning behind the same.

How Daniel Radcliffe Ranked All Harry Potter Movies

Between Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets, Daniel Radcliffe chose the latter, and then Josh Horowitz presented him with the most difficult decision: choosing between Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire.

While many fans consider Prisoner of Azkaban to be among the best in the series, Radcliffe surprised viewers by not choosing it. He explained that he loved the material he got to perform in Goblet of Fire, one of which could be the challenges faced by Harry during the Triwizard Tournament.

His preference became even clearer when he chose Order of the Phoenix over Half-Blood Prince, because his performance was much better in the former. Finally, Radcliffe picked Deathly Hallows – Part 2 over Part -1 without hesitation.

Why Half-Blood Prince Ranks Lowest for Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe doesn’t dislike Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince due to the film’s quality, but his own performance. In an interview with the Daily Mail, he described how it was uncomfortable to watch himself on screen in the sixth installment.

I never liked watching myself on film but I do make myself sit through it. I think it comes from not actually realising I didn’t have to go to my own premieres and watch the film – that’s something I’ve only just realised you don’t have to do. I always went along and sat with everyone else watching the movie. And that’s why it’s hard to watch a film like Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, because I’m just not very good in it. I hate it. My acting is very one-note and I can see I got complacent and what I was trying to do just didn’t come across.

Interestingly, fans and critics do not feel this way, but his words highlight a universal truth about all artists: they judge their work harsher than anyone else!
