10 Actors Who Hate Their Own Movie Performances

Look, we love the Harry Potter movies to bits, but let's call it how it is: the three main leads - Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint - didn't always deliver engaging or convincing performances.

Of course, that's to be expected, considering that they were young and inexperienced when they were thrust into one of the biggest movie franchises on the planet, and unfortunately, this means that there are a couple of points throughout the eight-film series where the acting... well, it isn't great.

Don't just take our word for it though - Radcliffe himself also agrees with this.

In a 2014 interview, the actor singled out Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince as being "hard to watch", because he's "not very good in it." He thinks that his acting in that film is "one-note", and admitted that he got "complacent."

On a more positive note, he thinks that his best performance came in The Order Of The Phoenix - mainly because he saw a "progression" in his acting skills.
