What If

Rated: 5/10
What if, he was never Harry PotterIJ What if, one could get over Harry PotterIJ What if Daniel Radcliffe had a real life magic wand to take away the Potter memories of movie buffs all over the world. What if, indeed!
I don’t know about others but I could not make myself separate Harry Potter from Daniel Radcliffe — a med school dropout in this one. Where was his magic wand to make his girl fall into his spell. And why was he taking a flight to Dublin instead of vrooming on his broom in a much faster mannerIJ
Well, maybe it is time for people to forget he is Potter and give him some screen space as a you-and-me guy in a you-and-me kind of film. He tries to do his best here as a guy in love with a girl who has another boyfriend.
Sadly though, we are still to forget he is Potter and he is still to grow in stature which is bigger than his inaugural hunt. Till then, he is too short — in height as well as role play — to tide over the Potter hangover.
