* IAmNotSpock: He doesn't necessarily hate being associated with Harry Potter, he just would rather be be known for more than just Harry. He does appreciate what its done for him and the people its introduced to him, but wants to focus on future roles.

* {{Adorkable}}: His performance as Harry definitely gives off this vibe.

* IAmNotSpock: Downplayed. He doesn't necesarily hate being associated with Harry Potter, he just would rather be be known for more than just Harry. He does appreciate what its done for him and the people its introduced to him, but wants to focus on future roles.

* ''Series/AYoungDoctorsNotebook'' (2012-13) (TV miniseries)

* ''Series/MiracleWorkers'' (2019) (TV miniseries)

* FormerChildStar: Fortunately, he has been making some smart career decisions to get a decent adult career going. It helps that he was mentored by Creator/AlanRickman. Radcliffe has also been very open about the fact that the pressure from his fame caused him to struggle quite a bit with feelings of depression and even some degree of alcoholism for some time during his late teens, and that he was frequently some degree of drunk during much of the filming of ''The Deathly Hallows''.

* {{Adorkable}}: His performance as Harry definitely gives off this vibe. And many fangirls have said he looks cute wearing glasses.
* DeadpanSnarker: It simply wouldn't be Daniel Radcliffe if he didn't get in a good crack at ''someone''. [[SelfDeprecation Including himself, if all else fails]].
* FagHag: Very outspoken about gay rights and one of the prominent speakers of the Website/ItGetsBetterProject. Teeters between this and CampStraight, seeing as he played Creator/AllenGinsberg.

* HiddenDepths: He can pull off [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKdV5FvXLuI Alphabet Aerobics]].
* SueDonym: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM2uXBcfLCs When he was posing as a receptionist for an hour]], he went under the brilliantly-covert alias of... Dan.
* {{Troll}}: His main target is the paparazzi, but he likes a good joke. He once wore the same outfit for six straight months, so that it would frustrate them by making it seem like all of their pictures were taken the same day.

It wasn't, of course, and Radcliffe played Harry Potter over the course of eight films, from 2001 to 2011. In 2007, Radcliffe starred as Alan Strang in ''Theatre/{{Equus}}'' on the West End, reprising the role on Broadway in 2008. While the MoralGuardians were up in arms about Harry Potter appearing naked on stage, the critics had a HeReallyCanAct reaction. In 2011, he returned to Broadway to star in a revival of ''Theatre/HowToSucceedInBusinessWithoutReallyTrying''.

->''“I used to be self-conscious about my height, but then I thought, fuck that, I'm Harry Potter.”''

The son of a literary agent and a casting agent, Radcliffe began acting in small roles before ''Harry Potter''. In the year 2000, the hunt for the right child actor to play Harry was starting to resemble the search for [[GoneWithTheWind Scarlett O'Hara]]. After seeing Radcliffe in a [[Creator/TheBBC BBC]] version of ''Literature/DavidCopperfield'', Creator/ChrisColumbus asked Radcliffe's parents to allow him to audition, but they declined. Sometime later, David Heyman and Creator/SteveKloves attended a production of the play ''Stones in His Pockets'' and encountered Radcliffe in the audience. The next day, Heyman called Radcliffe's parents and this time they agreed to let him audition. Radcliffe happened to be in the bath at the time his parents got the call that he had gotten the part and he admits to being so happy that he cried. Radcliffe woke up in the middle of the following night, causing him to wake up his parents to ask them if he'd really gotten the part or if it was AllJustADream.

* OneOfUs: Dressed up as [[Franchise/StarWars Boba Fett]] during Halloween 2014. And in 2016, he said that since he was a child, he wanted to play Franchise/SpiderMan, although he also said "The boat has sailed" after Creator/TomHolland got the role for Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, and essentially congratulating Holland in the process.

In 2012, he starred as Arthur Kipps in a [[Film/HammerHorror Hammer]] feature film version of ''Film/TheWomanInBlack''. In an odd way, he is following in the footsteps of his onscreen father, Adrian Rawlins, who played the same role on television in 1989. Radcliffe also acted alongside JonHamm as the titular young doctor in British drama ''Series/AYoungDoctorsNotebook''. More recently, he played a young Creator/AllenGinsberg in the 2013 movie ''Film/KillYourDarlings'' and starred in the 2014 RomCom ''The F Word'' (retitled ''What If'' in some countries) and the black comedy horror ''Film/{{Horns}}''. He had a lead role in the 2016 film Film/SwissArmyMan. Has been known to do the occasional side project like doing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqBqqd9-SBk dramatic readings]].
