Daniel Radcliffe, the actor famed for bringing Harry Potter to life on the big screen, is embracing fatherhood in a way that prioritizes being a dad over his Hollywood fame. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Radcliffe revealed that his 2-year-old son, whom he shares with girlfriend Erin Darke, has no idea who Harry Potter is and that’s exactly how he wants it.
“Does my son know who Harry Potter is? No, not yet,” Radcliffe said. He shared a playful anecdote: “Somebody gave me a DVD to sign recently, and it was sitting on our kitchen table for a couple of days. At one point, he was next to it, and I was just like, ‘Who’s that?’ [to see] if he’d recognize me on the cover. And he didn’t, which was great.”
For Radcliffe, the moment underscores a larger priority: preserving the innocence of his child’s early years. “For as long as I can just be his dad and he won’t know me as anything else, I will maintain that for as long as I can,” he explained.
Radcliffe has largely kept his son out of the public eye, but in previous interviews, including one with E! News in June 2024, he described fatherhood as “the best.” The actor admits that becoming a dad has transformed his life, bringing new perspectives and emotional depth. “I cry a lot more, in like a nice way,” he joked.
Though Radcliffe is preparing for a new Broadway run in Every Brilliant Thing, he remains committed to his family first. He has made it clear that he intends to allow his son to discover Harry Potter at his own pace and possibly through the new HBO adaptation rather than imposing the films he starred in.
In an era where celebrity often overshadows personal life, Radcliffe’s approach is refreshingly grounded. By keeping the wizarding world at bay for now, he can focus on the most important role of his life: being a present and loving father.
