Daniel Radcliffe Turns 37: A Look at His Post-Harry Potter Filmography
On July 23, 2026, Daniel Radcliffe marked his 37th birthday. The English actor who first captured a global audience as the boy wizard in the Harry Potter series has since carved a niche in a wide array of film and television projects.
Radcliffe’s post‑Potter work spans several genres and formats, showcasing his willingness to take on unconventional and genre‑mixing roles. Below are seven notable projects that illustrate the breadth of his career:
1. Kill Your Darlings (2013) – Radcliffe portrays Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in this biographical drama directed by John Krokidas. The film follows the early lives of Beat Generation writers at Columbia University in the 1940s and also features Dane DeHaan, Jack Huston, Ben Foster, Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Elizabeth Olsen. It is available to stream on Prime Video.
2. Horns (2013) – In this comedy‑drama horror based on Joe Hill’s novel, Radcliffe plays Ignatius “Ig” Perrish, a young man accused of murdering his girlfriend. After the death, he wakes with horns that compel people to reveal their darkest secrets. The film, directed by Alexandre Aja, also stars Max Minghella, Joe Anderson, Heather Graham and Sabrina Carpenter. It can be streamed on Prime Video and The CW.
3. Victor Frankenstein (2015) – Radcliffe appears as Igor Straussman, a circus performer who becomes the assistant to Victor Frankenstein, played by James McAvoy. The fantasy‑horror film, directed by Paul McGuigan, is based on Mary Shelley’s novel and also features Jessica Brown Findlay, Andrew Scott and Charles Dance. It is available for rent on various streaming platforms.
4. Now You See Me 2 (2016) – Radcliffe joins the heist‑thriller sequel as Walter Mabry, a tech tycoon who hires the “Four Horsemen” of magic to steal a chip. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the film also stars Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Lizzie Caplan. It streams on Prime Video.
5. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) – Radcliffe plays the real‑life parody musician Al “Weird Al” Yankovic. The musical biopic satire, released as a Roku Channel exclusive, follows Yankovic’s life from childhood to early success in the 1980s. The film also features Evan Rachel Wood, Rainn Wilson, Toby Huss and Julianne Nicholson.
6. Miracle Workers (2019‑2023) – Radcliffe appears in a new role each season of the TBS anthology comedy series created by Simon Rich. His characters range from an angelic department worker in Season 1 to a post‑apocalyptic road warrior in Season 4. The series also stars Steve Buscemi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Karan Soni, Jon Bass, Sasha Compère, Lolly Adefope and Quinta Brunson. Episodes are available on TBS and Hulu.
7. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins (2024‑present) – In this sports mockumentary series created by Robert Carlock and Sam Means and executive‑produced by Tina Fey, Radcliffe plays filmmaker Arthur Tobin. The show follows disgraced former football star Reggie Dinkins, played by Tracy Morgan, as he attempts a comeback. The series also features Erika Alexander, Precious Way, Jalyn Hall and Bobby Moynihan. It streams on NBC, Peacock and Hulu, with Season 2 slated to premiere on November 2, 2024.
Radcliffe’s diverse portfolio demonstrates his willingness to tackle unconventional and genre‑mixing projects. While none of these roles have matched the commercial impact of the Harry Potter franchise, they illustrate a steady career that spans independent drama, horror, fantasy, comedy and television anthology formats.
As of July 2026, Radcliffe remains active in both film and television. No new releases are scheduled for the immediate future, but the actor’s continued presence on streaming platforms and network television keeps him in the public eye. The upcoming second season of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins will likely be his next high‑profile project.
Radcliffe’s birthday marks a milestone in a career that began in the early 2000s and has evolved into a varied body of work across multiple media. The actor’s willingness to embrace diverse roles continues to define his post‑Potter identity.
