The release of ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'' took place in 2001.

A year later, Radcliffe starred in [[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']], the second installment of the series. Reviewers were positive about the lead actors' performances but had polarising opinions on the film overall. ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' (2004) was the third film in the series. Radcliffe's performance was criticised by ''[[The New York Times]]'' film critic [[A. O. Scott]], who felt that co-star [[Emma Watson]] had to carry him with her performance.<ref>{{cite news |title=Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Film review |work=The New York Times |first=A.

The future of the franchise was put into question when Radcliffe, Watson, and co-star [[Rupert Grint]] hesitated to sign on to continue their roles. By March 2007, however, Radcliffe had signed for the final ''Harry Potter'' films; his signing put an end to weeks of press "speculation that he would be denied the role due to his involvement in ''[[Equus (play)|Equus]]''", in which he had performed nude onstage.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1553722/20070302/story.jhtml |title=Harry Potter Will Be Played By Daniel Radcliffe in Final Two Flicks |date=2 March 2007 |publisher=MTV |access-date=28 May 2011 |archive-date=10 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090510132047/http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1553722/20070302/story.jhtml |url-status=dead }}</ref> Radcliffe reprised the role of Harry for the fifth time in ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'' (2007).
