Daniel Radcliffe is lucky he was plucked from obscurity to play Harry Potter at a young age, because his professional skills aren't quite there.

The actor worked as a receptionist at the Nylon Magazine offices for an hour, and things didn't go so well. He's perfectly charming when he has to meet coworkers (and fans) who approach his desk, but when faced with any sort of clerical task, he goes into crisis mode. They don't teach you how to dial someone's extension at Hogwarts.

Joe Jonas shows up for a meeting, and Radcliffe -- intimidated by his star power -- apologizes for his poor service: "I'm very new and very shit."
