Doctor Strange's wizard circle is not easy to mix with. Harry Potter plays a corpse to make a living.

In November, in addition to many shopping maniacs welcoming the annual "Double Eleven" shopping spree, for the majority of movie fans, the blockbuster films with high expectations are more worthy of being targeted. In this destined to be an extraordinary month, the currently popular "Doctor Strange" is the opening, followed by "Arrival", "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk", "Allied" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", all of which are well-known and talked-about works.

In addition to Doctor Strange starring the "unprofessional detective", another "pure" magic feast has appeared in the upcoming release list: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This spin-off work is highly anticipated by fans because it was created by JK Rowling and shares the same world view with the Harry Potter series.

Some people questioned the adaptation of the novel into a film, saying it was a pure money-making move, but most people still agreed with it out of their deep feelings for Harry Potter. After all, it is the testimony of a generation's youth and the childhood memories of many young audiences.

Mentioning Harry Potter inevitably brings to mind Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the core character in the film series. Like Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Doctor Strange, his acting career is fixed in a stereotype. However, the former's deep-rooted audience impression makes it more difficult for him to break free from the shackles and expand his acting range.

In order to broaden his acting range, Benedict Cumberbatch also works very hard.

It's him! This is how I imagined Harry Potter

"It's him! This kid should be Harry Potter," Chris Columbus, the director of the first and second Harry Potter films, blurted out after watching Daniel's performance in the TV movie David Copperfield. When the original author, Ms. Rowling, saw Daniel, she was surprised and excited and said, "This is what I have always imagined Harry Potter should be like."

The 11-year-old Daniel officially starred in this huge fantasy movie as the leading actor. At that time, he probably never thought that he would become a "male wizard" envied by the whole world ten years later. But at the first moment, he was still flattered and even overwhelmed that he could be chosen for such a special role.

The former glory has become today's shackles

Benedict Cumberbatch, who is known as "Benedict Cumberbatch" in Chinese fans circles for his role in "Sherlock", has played mathematician Turing, physicist Hawking, genius painter Van Gogh, etc. (To be honest, who dares to say this is not a challenge!?) Benedict Cumberbatch, who has always played a high-IQ god, has crossed over to the Marvel Universe this time, playing a wizard and having a magic battle! It can be said that he fully demonstrated his versatile talents. Although he has successfully transitioned from TV series to the big screen, when people mention him, they still first equate him with the image of the postmodern Sherlock Holmes in the United States.

Sometimes, an actor’s sudden success does require a representative role with distinctive characteristics to show himself, but the risks brought by this are difficult to predict and control. While it is very likely to make you successful, it is also very likely to ruin your career.

The luck of becoming famous overnight in the entertainment industry may lead to a lifetime of criticism

In the film and television industry, the constraints that come with successful image creation are undoubtedly a double-edged sword for actors. Daniel Radcliffe, who has been trying to get rid of his Harry Potter image, was like other child stars who became famous overnight. He was initially frustrated and indulged himself because of this. Of course, he also tried to take on a large number of different types of films to break through himself.

The cuteness has faded, but it is still soft and tender. (Fortunately, it has not grown crooked)

To compete in acting skills, some people pretend to be old and ugly, and now there are even people pretending to be corpses.

When Daniel Radcliffe played Harry Potter for the first time, everyone was attracted by this cute little boy. In 10 years, the little boy with round glasses almost grew up ugly. Daniel also admitted that he had become a bad boy who loved drinking. Since the main plot of Harry Potter ended in 2011, whether it was participating in the stage play "The Woman in Black" or participating in the stage play "The Woman in Black", it shows that Daniel is determined to make the audience no longer blurt out "Harry Potter" to him.

But speaking of growing ugly, do you still remember the fat little (Na) ( Wei ) from Gryffindor ...

After trying his hand in the relatively stable thriller The Woman in Black, he played the villain in Now You See Me 2 and the hunchbacked youth in Victor Frankenstein. In addition, he played We Will Not Forget, which tells the story of the struggle between the world's largest hacker organization Anonymous and the Mexican drug trafficking organization Los Zetas, Dominion, which is adapted from the real experience of FBI undercover agent Michael German, and Game Changers, a biographical film about Rockstar CEO and GTA founder Sam Houser. These biographical films adapted from real events or based on reality have also become a breakthrough for him to win a relatively ideal start in his solo career. Moreover, such serious themes have always been easily recognized by authoritative film critics.

However, among all the works Daniel has participated in, there is a rather eye-catching and unique work "Swiss Army Knife Man". After completing the filming of the biopic of the founder of "Grand Theft Auto", Daniel immediately moved to the set of "Swiss Army Knife Man" to participate in the filming. And the role he played is really jaw-dropping... Harry Potter, who Voldemort tried his best to kill, finally "died" this time. As the name suggests, in the new film "Swiss Army Knife Man", he played a corpse throughout the whole process! That's right! And it is a multifunctional wilderness survival corpse like a Swiss Army Knife. It can be seen that after bidding farewell to "Harry Potter", Daniel's taste in acting is getting heavier.

Swiss Army Man premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January this year and received rave reviews, eventually winning a Feature Film Director Award. Foreign media commented that Daniel Radcliffe's role as a corpse was impressive, making the audience believe that he was dead, while also vividly showing the existence of the "ghost" and making the corpse "alive". The line "So this is the life I forgot?" is very touching.

As mentioned above, Daniel's taste in acting has become increasingly heavier after he bid farewell to the "Harry Potter" series. On the one hand, it can be seen that Daniel is eager to get rid of the shadow of the "magic boy" hanging over himself, and on the other hand, he also wants to expand his acting range and try more different roles.

Daniel has made more than ten new films after the Harry Potter series. These films are either literary dramas or weird and thrilling cult films. Each of them has mediocre box office. Many of them have not been released in China, so Chinese movie fans may not be familiar with them. However, looking at the stills and styling, you can also see how hard Daniel works, so it is inevitable that he will take a different approach from time to time.

In short, it doesn't matter if it's about broadening his acting range or growing up and transforming. If life could only be like the first sight, the feelings for Hogwarts make people miss the time 15 years ago. Unlike Benedict Cumberbatch, the Harry Potter label will definitely follow Daniel throughout his life. If he fails to surpass or cover up the role in character creation, this influence will continue in the future. Given Daniel's bold attempts in casting, as a fan, we still have expectations for this.
