Daniel Radcliffe, who shot to fame for playing Harry Potter in all eight movies, took on the challenge of ranking all the movies.

Radcliffe sat with Josh Horowitz to record an episode for his podcast Happy Sad Confused, where he made a confession that he has not yet watched any of the movies in a long time.

He shared, “When I was 18, I would cringe watching the earlier films. Now, I think the early films are sweet and now I cringe watching myself when I was 18 or 19.”

“But I assume that those dates will just keep changing as to what I find palatable of my own work,” the 36-year-old English actor added.

Changing the whole discussion into a fun competition, Horowitz went on to ask Radcliffe to rank his favorite Harry Potter films.

Accepting the challenge, The Lost City star said he would always choose 2002’s Chamber of Secrets over 2001’s Sorcerer's Stone, explaining, “I would take Chamber of Secrets out of those two ’cause I love the Basilisk [the huge snake-like creature that hid within Hogwarts].”

When it came to choosing between 2004’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and 2005’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, he went with the Goblet of Fire because he loved the stuff he “got to do on the fourth movie; it was awesome.”

It is pertinent to mention that Daniel Radcliffe is a fan of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, while Half-Blood Prince “is probably the bottom of the bracket” for him.
