Daniel Radcliffe reveals his picks for best and worst “Harry Potter ”films

Daniel Radcliffe has picked his favorite and least favorite entries in the Harry Potter film franchise.

Key Points

• The titular star noted that as he's aged, franchise entries from different periods of times have gone from watchable to unwatchable for him.

• Interestingly, his favorite and least favorite picks both came toward the tail end of the eight-film series.

No one likes to play favorites with their children. But if you ask nicely, Daniel Radcliffe is happy to oblige.

TheHarry Potterstar recently weighed in on his favorites, least favorites, and everything in between when it comes to the enduringly popular young adult film franchise.

Radcliffe has noted several times in the past that he is not the biggest fan of rewatching his own work. Especially when it comes toHarry Potter, which he said just in February he was"embarrassed"to catch up with as an adult. But in a new interview for theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast, Radcliffe revealed, "I have more time now for me in the early films."

When he was 18, he explained, "I would cringe watching the earlier films. Now I think the early films are sweet, and now I cringe watching myself when I was 18 or 19."

He speculated that this cringe cycle will continue churning as he ages, but that doesn't mean he isn't up to the task of offering up a subjective ranking of his best and worst of the franchise.

Radcliffe was only nine when production commenced onHarry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. By the time he wrapped on the franchise's final act,Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2, he was 20.

From the vantage point of 2026, as a 36-year-old father with credits far and wide outside theHarry Potterfranchise to his name, Radcliffe was easily able to pick his favorite and least favorite of its entries.

Happy Sad Confusedhost Josh Horowitz paired the first and second films, third and fourth films, and so on in brackets for Radcliffe to choose between, leading to a final showdown between his two top picks. But before he even got there, Radcliffe spilled the beans, crowningDeathly Hallows Part 2as "my favorite of all of them."

When asked to choose between the fifth film,Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, andHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Radcliffe remarked, "Order of Phoenixfar and away.Half-Blood Princeis probably the bottom of the bracket for me. That's my own stuff. That's not the film."

Ultimately, the bracket-style selections yieldedDeathly Hallows Part 2andHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fireas his top two picks, which he easily ceded toDeathly Hallows Part 2.

"I'm fascinated. I wouldn't have said now if if we — interesting," Radcliffe stammered. "I don't think I knew thatGoblet of Firewould have been my second-favorite film. Although it would have survived if the bracket were different. It would have gone a different way."

Radcliffe also praisedChamber of Secrets"because I love thebasilisk," and asked for mercy fromPotterfans when choosingGoblet of Fireover the belovedPrisoner of Azkaban.

"I know everyone wants me to sayAzkaban. I know that's how everyone else feels, but I love the stuff I got to do on the fourth movie," he said.

Though Radcliffe's heart seems to be opening to rewatching hisPotterfilms, he shared in March thathe's "delighted"his son can experience the story viaHBO's upcoming seriesadaptation instead. "I feel like watching it with your dad would be less cool. It would take you out of it," he explained."

Michael B. Jordan steals priceless Van Gogh in first footage from his sexy heist thriller “The Thomas Crown Affair”

Michael B. Jordan appeared at CinemaCon to debut the first trailer for his film The Thomas Crown Affair.

Key points

• Jordan's character steals a priceless Van Gogh painting and romances an investigator played by Adria Arjona in the footage.

• "I've been daydreaming about making this movie for years," said Jordan, who also directed the project.

Michael B. Jordanis makingCinemaConswoon.

TheCreedstar took the stage during Amazon MGM's presentation in Las Vegas on Wednesday night after the studio premiered the first trailer for his steamy new directorial project,The Thomas Crown Affair, which he's starring in alongside Adria Arjona.

The teaser for the romantic crime thriller revealed that Jordan's version of Thomas Crown, likePierce Brosnan's, is an experienced art thief. He has a Gustav Klimt painting hanging in his home, and is later seen stealing one of Van Gogh's sunflower paintings out of a museum.

"Tell me something: does this billionaire thing really work?" Arjona's character says to Thomas while seated at a dinner date.

"Usually," he responds.

The trailer has an equal balance of slick action and swoon-worthy romance, showing Thomas speeding on a racetrack, opening a massive vault, and fighting off a crew of adversaries in between charged scenes with Arjona's character in multiple colorful coastal locales.

Kenneth Branaghalso appears as a grumpy, high-status villain who has presumably wronged Jordan's character, as his moments are broken up with text on screen that says "Revenge is a work of art."

The final shot of the trailer shows Thomas running up a skyscraper while attached to a cable.

"I've been daydreaming about making this movie for years," Jordan said during the presentation, explaining that he saw the 1999Thomas Crownwhen he was 12 years old. "I wanna be in a movie like that one day," he recalled thinking at the time.

Jordan explained that he later saw the 1968 version of the film, which made him appreciate the central character's personal mission. "He didn't just steal, he was making a statement," he said of the titular thief.

Jordan shared his priorities while directing the project. "I knew I wanted to bring that all together — the style, the sophistication, the rebellion —  but also give him a real mission."

TheFruitvale Stationstar also said that he needed to find an actress who could "match [Thomas'] intelligence, his intensity, his charm," and then introduced Arjona to the stage.

"I'm the luckiest actress to be a part of this movie," theAndorstar said. "I truly am."

The Thomas Crown Affairmarks Jordan's second directorial effort after making his debut with 2023'sCreed III.

Taylor Russell was originally cast as the female lead, but sheexited the projectin July over creative differences.

Jordan recentlywon his first Oscar for Best Actorfor his work inSinners, beating out Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, and Wagner Moura to take home the gold. "God is good. God is good. Yeah, mamma, what's up?" he said to his mom on the Oscars stage before shouting out his costars, collaborators, and heroes.

The originalThomas Crown Affairstarred Steve McQueen as a gentleman thief who orchestrates the robbery of a Boston bank. Directed byIn the Heat of the Nightfilmmaker Norman Jewison, the film also starred Faye Dunaway as the investigator who falls in love with Thomas as she looks into the case.

Die Harddirector John McTiernan remade the film in 1999, starring Brosnan and Rene Russo. The film moved the action from Boston to New York and made the title character a wealthy art thief instead of a bank robber.
