I noticed in the section titled "2019–present: Career expansion" that Daniel Radcliffe's role as Abigail Fairfax in the 2022 film The Lost City wasn't mentioned. He even features in the movie's theatrical release poster. I have the source to the movie's website listed here: https://paramount.de/the-lost-city

I just thought it would be smart to add this movie to the list.

Done the movie is already listed there, but I've added the name of the villain he's acting as well. Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 18:33, 2 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Suggestions for the "Artistry and media image" section

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The section begins with an extended noun phrase standing without a verb:

Radcliffe's willingness to take on strange, risky, and unconventional indie projects (Swiss Army Man, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story) rather than chasing safe commercial blockbusters.

Additionally, though the claim regarding "unconventional indie projects" is self-evident from Radcliffe's filmography, the language comes off as quite strong for something lacking a direct quotation. If an appropriate source can be found, the sentence may sound better as something like the following:

Radcliffe has established a preference for indie films over more conventional projects.

I have a second point of concern regarding the sidebar quotation in this section, which appears to mix first- and third-person pronouns (emphasised in bold) in what is ostensibly Radcliffe talking about himself:

I find my early Harry Potter performances "one-note" or complacent, noting that he only feels he truly grew into the craft by the later films in the franchise. — Radcliffe on Self-Criticism

Further problems include the lack of citation and the attribution "— Radcliffe on Self-Criticism", which reads as unprofessional. Moreover, the actual quotation would seem to be the following, taken from this Daily Mail article:

My acting is very one-note and I can see I got complacent and what I was trying to do just didn’t come across. My best film is the fifth one (Order Of The Phoenix) because I can see a progression.

It would be best for this quotation to be corrected and cited, or removed altogether. Bouncybao (talk) 22:19, 14 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

please change "portraying the title character in" to "portraying the titular character in" DemonSpellChecker (talk) 02:48, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done: This (and the previous form) is a form of elegant variation, which is sometimes discouraged because it can make prose unclear. Specifically, see WP:TITULAR. I've instead changed this to the character name to be more specific. Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 06:12, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
