No this isn’t Harry Potter 8 or 9 or whatever we got to, but it’s Daniel Radcliffe donning a similar pair of specs to the boy wizard as he shoots his latest movie Kill Your Darlings in New York.

Dressed in tweed and with a haircut which certainly isn’t as magical as it is ultra wavy, the actor is playing gay beat poet Allen Ginsberg and it’s set in the nineteen forties.

He shot scenes on the sidewalk with his co-star Dane De Haan and the pair got cozy on the ground, sharing some laughs after shooting a running scene and a loving embrace.

The role couldn’t get further from the Harry Potter series for Daniel whose new role covers the life of the Beat Generation who were experimenting with drugs and sexuality aside the poetry.

We’re happy for Daniel to be trying new stuff and wish him all the best.
