Actor Daniel Radclifferevealed he's collected quite a few props during his nearly three decades in the entertainment industry.
In a February 2026 interview with Collider, Radcliffe referenced that he famously played the titular character in the Harry Potter film franchise, which consisted of eight movies. He told the publication that he kept two pairs of Harry Potter's famous glasses, one from the first film, 2001's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and one from the final movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, released in 2011.
"I think I've got two pairs of Harry Potter glasses actually. One from the beginning and one from the end. And they're not at my house, so don't come and rob me. They're safe somewhere else," said Radcliffe to the publication.
He then shared that he was allowed to keep a fake arm from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002). In the film, the fraudulent Professor Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh) attempts to cast a spell to mend Harry's broken arm following a Quidditch match. Unfortunately for the Gryffindor student, Lockhart accidentally removes his arm bones, leaving the limb looking quite rubbery.
"I had some weird s--t from Potter actually that I really liked. Like, they let me keep a prosthetic arm that I had made for when all the bones got removed from my arm in the second film," said Radcliffe in the Collider interview.
While speaking to Collider, Radcliffe said that he used to take his characters' IDs from sets. He also said that he has quite a few shoes from a couple of his characters.

"What I'm saying is yes, I've stolen quite a lot over the years," quipped Radcliffe.
Daniel Radcliffe Opened up About His Post-'Potter' Career
Following the release of the final Harry Potter movie, Radcliffe appeared in several unique projects like Horns (2013), Kill Your Darlings (2013), Swiss Army Man (2016), and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022). In a February 2026 interview with The New York Times, Radcliffe noted that his starring role in the Harry Potter film franchise enabled him to join projects he's passionate about.
"I came out of Potter with an awareness that I was going to be in a position that almost no actors were in at the age I was, where you don't need to do anything other than for the reason that you really really like it and think it's going to be fun," said Radcliffe to the publication.
He also suggested that he has been inspired by his Miracle Workers castmate Steve Buscemi's career.
"[Buscemi] pops up in every genre and everything. And you just when you look at that, to me, you see somebody having fun and enjoying their career," said the father of one.
