Forget ‘Harry Potter,’ Daniel Radcliffe’s Weirdest Movie Is Officially Streaming for Free

Published

on

The doors of Hogwarts are opening once again, as HBO’s adaptation of all seven of the Harry Potter novels officially debuts this Christmas Day. Dominic McLaughlin‘s titular The Boy Who Lived, Arabella Stanton‘s Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout‘s Ron Weasley will lead a brand-new cast in the Wizarding World, which also includes Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Orson Matthews as Oliver Wood, Asha Soetan as Angelina Johnson, and John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore.

Back in March, the release of the first trailer for the new Harry Potter series earned 277 million organic views in just 48 hours, breaking a record for HBO in the process. That hype has only built since, in spite of constant controversy surrounding franchise creator J.K. Rowling, with the recent “The Best Is Yet to Come” promotional reel particularly well received. So, with less than four months to go until Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Episode 1, you might be looking for the perfect way to fill the time.

That is about to arrive in the form of Swiss Army Man, one of former Boy Who Lived Daniel Radcliffe‘s best post-Potter projects. The feature directorial debut for Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, who would go on to win seven Academy Awards with Everything Everywhere All At Once, this A24 gem features Radcliffe as a dead body befriended by Paul Dano‘s (The Batman) hopeless Hank, who becomes stranded on a deserted island. Starting September 1, you’ll be able to stream Swiss Army Man for free on Plex, joining an eye-catching catalog of other great modern and classic movies.

Gryffindor Tower · Scarlet & Gold

🦁 Gryffindor

You have nerve. Not the reckless kind, but the deep, quiet courage that shows up even when you’re terrified — especially then.

  • Gryffindors don’t act because they’re fearless — they act because they understand that some things are worth being afraid for.
  • You stand up for people when it would be easier to look away.
  • You charge toward what’s right even when the odds are terrible.
  • Harry, Hermione, Ron — the heroes of Hogwarts’s greatest chapter — all called the tower with the scarlet and gold home. And now, so do you.

Slytherin Dungeon · Emerald & Silver

🐍 Slytherin

You are driven, sharp, and utterly clear-eyed about what you want and how to get there.

  • Slytherin has long been misunderstood — painted as the house of villains when it is, at its best, the house of those who refuse to accept limits placed on them by others.
  • You are resourceful, strategic, and you play the long game.
  • You know your worth. You protect your own fiercely.
  • The dungeon common room with its view of the Black Lake is yours — and the ambitions that will take you further than anyone expects are yours too.

Hufflepuff Basement · Yellow & Black

🦡 Hufflepuff

You are the kind of person that makes the world genuinely better just by being in it.

  • Hufflepuff is not the “safe” house or the “leftover” house — it is the house of those with the greatest heart and the most unwavering integrity.
  • You show up. You work hard. You don’t need glory or recognition — you do what’s right because it’s right.
  • Your loyalty never wavers, even when tested.
  • Nymphadora Tonks, Cedric Diggory, Newt Scamander — some of the wizarding world’s finest. And now you join them.

Ravenclaw Tower · Blue & Bronze

🦅 Ravenclaw

Your mind is your greatest gift, and you’ve always known it.

  • Ravenclaws are the thinkers, the questioners, the ones who find a puzzle irresistible and a good book better company than most people.
  • Ravenclaw is not merely about intelligence — it’s about the love of learning, the pursuit of truth, and the rare courage to admit you don’t know something yet.
  • You see the world with unusual clarity and depth.
  • Luna Lovegood, Filius Flitwick, Rowena Ravenclaw herself — all extraordinary, all original. And so are you.

‘Swiss Army Man’ Is a Cult Hit

Against a reported budget of $3 million, Swiss Army Man earned just under $6 million globally, flying under the radar in 2016. However, it was a big hit with critics and those who did see the movie, ranked as Radcliffe’s second-highest-rated film since 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Called “one of the wildest films you’ll ever see” by a critic at the time, Swiss Army Man earned a strong 73% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
