Don’t hire Harry Potter to do your admin

Words by July 16, 2015

“Ah, yes,” Nylon said softly, “Daniel Radcliffe, our new celebrity receptionist.” The New York-based publication recently “hired” The Chosen One for a special assignment: to play receptionist for an hour.

He failed, spectacularly.

No points for Gryffindor.

Detention.

Death, or worse – expulsion.

The Trainwreck cameo actor dawdled behind the desk, snapped photos with besotted muggles and generally puppy-dogged his way through the whole shomozzle.

Highlights include Radcliffe declaring himself “a cut-price, less efficient version of Lauren”, Nylon‘s usual receptionist.

Bonus points for his #realtalk when confronted with Joe Jonas. Jonas has no clue who the useless wizard is, and asks if Radcliffe is new (“Yes, I’m very new and very shit”) and whether he’s come over from the England office.

Shout out to receptionists everywhere <3
