Daniel Radcliffe's First Audition Tape For Harry Potter Is Adorable

Daniel Radcliffe has famously been very critical of his earliest performances in Harry Potter, although he admits he was "at a stage when you hate your face anyway, and anything it does is repellant to you". We think you were way harsh on yourself, Radders – you were decent enough in the HP films – even during Harry's irritating teenage years when he talked in SHOUTY CAPITALS all the time.

While we coo-ed over the old video, Daniel's reaction wasn't so great: "I was like: 'Oh shit! OK..." he told The Times. Guess it's not ideal to re-watch an audition for a performance you have publicly decreed you hate.

And while he said he thought he only got the career-making role because he "looked good in glasses," we think fans will agree there was something of the boy wizard in that audition tape.
