Watch Daniel Radcliffe Lose Points for Gryffindor Trying to Work as a Receptionist

Daniel Radcliffe just found out he doesn’t have the magic touch when it comes to office work.

The Harry Potter star, 25, recently went undercover as a receptionist for a hidden-camera prank – and soon discovered he should probably stick to his day job.

Working the front desk at Nylon magazine’s New York City office, Radcliffe managed to go incognito for a while, smiling and nodding at staffers totally oblivious to the celebrity in their midst.

But soon enough, a few employees began to notice their normal receptionist, Lauren Adler, had been replaced by the famous boy wizard – and a series of excited selfies and handshakes ensued.

After an hour of answering the phone, delivering packages and passing out the bathroom keys, the actor – who once bared all on Broadway – described the experience as “the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

One office visitor was particularly unimpressed with Radcliffe’s secretarial skills: fellow celebrity Joe Jonas.

Check out the star’s reaction when Radcliffe botches his appointment.
