You know that the last of the Harry Potter movies was released nearly 15 years ago.
You haven't returned to them because the world is so complex and self-referential, and because there are a lot of problems that you didn't notice as a kid. Antisemitic Goblins? Slaves who enjoy their slavery? A headmaster who is gay, but we can never mention it on screen?
As of this writing, Daniel Radcliffe is 36 years old, with 49 acting credits. Most move him far away from Hogwarts, to worlds where gay people -- and male body parts -- exist. Here are his top 10 n*de, beefcake, and gay-subtext performances:
3. The Lost City (2022) sounds like a remake of Romancing the Stone, with romance novelist Loretta kidnapped in the jungle. It's up to her cover model/Love Interest (Channing Tatum) to rescue her. We see his backside, but only so Loretta can pick leeches off it. Daniel plays the (presumably straight) villain.
5. The Jungle (2017): in 1981, the Israeli backpacker Yossi Ghinsberg and his buddies set out to search for a lost city in the Bolivian jungle. But the jungle has other ideas.
6. Guns Akimbo (2019) was too heteronormative: a mild-mannered video game geek unwittingly signs up for a game where you fight to the death in real time. His opponent/Love Interest is a lady. Come on, dude, you've only played one "openly gay" character. Get with the allyship.
7. What If (2013): Daniel's first foray into the romcom. He plays a loser iin the romantic department who accidentally falls in love with a female friend. Problem is, she is living with her boyfriend. What to do? You could start by showing us your backside by moonlight.
9. In one of Daniel's few television series, Miracle Workers (2019-23), he plays an office-drone angel who must perform some miracles, or God will cancel the Earth and start over. Wait -- that's just the first season. In Season 2, he's a Medieval prince. Then a preacher on the Oregon Trail. WTF? Who keeps changing the premise? He falls in love with a lady in every...single....season. But at least we get some beefcake scenes.
11. Daniel's first break from Harry Potter came in a 2007 revival of Equus, the Peter Shaffer play about a boy who worships -- and blinds -- horses. While n*de. A symbolic stand-in for the Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name. Was it the gay content or his d*ck that established Daniel as a serious post-Harry actor?
12. In Kill Your Darlings (2013). Daniel plays Allen Ginsberg, the Beat Generation poet -- his only actually gay, not subtext or "we can never mention it" role. He falls in love with Lucien Carr, who murdered his boyfriend. And writes a story about it that gets him expelled from Columbia University. As he writes in "Howl"

But you still think of Daniel Radcliffe as David Copperfield...um, I mean the Boy Who Lived, and emerged from Under the Staircase to enrolle at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As of this writing, Daniel Radcliffe is 36 years old, with 49 acting credits. Most move him far away from Hogwarts, to worlds where gay people -- and male body parts -- exist. Here are his top 10 n*de, beefcake, and gay-subtext performances:
1. Merrily We Roll Along (2025), which is not about the theme song to the Looney Tunes. It's about two heterosexual chums in love with the same girl.
2. Now You See Me, Now You Don't (2025) brings the Horsemen out of retirement for a diamond heist (are we expect to know who the Horsemen are?). Daniel plays the villain. I think the guy with him is hired muscle, not his boyfriend.
3. The Lost City (2022) sounds like a remake of Romancing the Stone, with romance novelist Loretta kidnapped in the jungle. It's up to her cover model/Love Interest (Channing Tatum) to rescue her. We see his backside, but only so Loretta can pick leeches off it. Daniel plays the (presumably straight) villain.
4. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) is a biopic of the parody song performer. Entirely heteronormative -- dude even dates Madonna, which didn't happen in real life. I liked this scene:
Al: "Welcome to my house. Would you like a tour?"
Madonna: "There's only one room in this house that I'm interested in."
Al: "Oh, there's a bathroom down the hall."
5. The Jungle (2017): in 1981, the Israeli backpacker Yossi Ghinsberg and his buddies set out to search for a lost city in the Bolivian jungle. But the jungle has other ideas.
I haven't seen it, but keyword searches don't reveal any gay subtexts.
6. Guns Akimbo (2019) was too heteronormative: a mild-mannered video game geek unwittingly signs up for a game where you fight to the death in real time. His opponent/Love Interest is a lady. Come on, dude, you've only played one "openly gay" character. Get with the allyship.
But we see Daniel's prosthetic d*ck missing the toilet.
More after the break
7. What If (2013): Daniel's first foray into the romcom. He plays a loser iin the romantic department who accidentally falls in love with a female friend. Problem is, she is living with her boyfriend. What to do? You could start by showing us your backside by moonlight.
8. Victor Frankenstein (2015): From the POV of his assistant Igor (Daniel). The spineless director didn't allow them to be "openly gay," so Igor and Frankie (James McAvoy) have to depend on subtext. A lot of subtext.
9. In one of Daniel's few television series, Miracle Workers (2019-23), he plays an office-drone angel who must perform some miracles, or God will cancel the Earth and start over. Wait -- that's just the first season. In Season 2, he's a Medieval prince. Then a preacher on the Oregon Trail. WTF? Who keeps changing the premise? He falls in love with a lady in every...single....season. But at least we get some beefcake scenes.
10. A Young Doctor's Notebook and Other Stories (2012-13) sends a Young Doctor and an Old Doctor to a small village in Russia in 1917 -- just in time for the Revolution! There's some buddy-bonding, in spite of their heterosexual crushes, and a bathtub scene.
11. Daniel's first break from Harry Potter came in a 2007 revival of Equus, the Peter Shaffer play about a boy who worships -- and blinds -- horses. While n*de. A symbolic stand-in for the Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name. Was it the gay content or his d*ck that established Daniel as a serious post-Harry actor?
12. In Kill Your Darlings (2013). Daniel plays Allen Ginsberg, the Beat Generation poet -- his only actually gay, not subtext or "we can never mention it" role. He falls in love with Lucien Carr, who murdered his boyfriend. And writes a story about it that gets him expelled from Columbia University. As he writes in "Howl"
who were expelled from the academies for crazy & publishing odes on the windows of the skull.
The internet exploded in 2025 with headlines like: "Daniel Radcliffe: gay bedroom activity is painful!" Psych! He wasn't describing his own experience, he was recounting the director's instructions on how to play the bedroom scene. Still sounds homophobic.
