The boy wizard is all grown up, but he’ll always have us under his magic spell.

Move over, Harry Potter. There’s a new chosen one in town and, yes, it’s Daniel Radcliffe. The post-Potter Dan is so much more than a mighty combination of beard, butt and blue eyes; we’re also all about his bold acting choices and winning charm. Oh, and did we also mention that, despite being the richest Hollywood hottie under 30, he’s probably also the humblest? Be still our beating hearts.
This month, the 26-year-old actor (and recipient of this year’s UK Rear of the Year award) shares the screen with another blue-eyed Brit, James McAvoy, in a thrilling retelling of the classic Frankenstein. Daniel takes on the role of the archetypal assistant Igor, trading in the character’s typical hunchback and hooded cape for a flowy Victorian mane and three-piece suit.
If that’s not enough Dan for you, you’re in luck – he’s also got four more films in the pipeline for next year. Most of all, we can’t wait to see him step back into the world of magic with Now You See Me: The Second Act. The Four Horsemen squaring off against Harry himself? That’s something we’d pay to see.
A WHOLE LOTTA DAN
After stripping down for three of his recent films, Dan’s apparently saying no to nudity (for now). Oh well, guess we’ll just put these on repeat.
KILL YOUR DARLINGS
Dan plays a poet who undergoes an artistic and sexual awakening.
WHAT IF
The only “what if” worth asking here is: what if Dan was our real-life boyfriend?
HORNS
We’re pretty sure the only crime Dan is guilty of is being tempting as sin.
