Daniel Radcliffe acknowledges that he will not play Harry Potter again
The British actor admits that the saga has continued in a 'great' way without his famous character
At this point we are not telling you any secrets if we tell you that Harry Potter is the most famous saga of all time. The Adventures of the Magician Boy, by the writer J.K. Rowling not only turned an entire generation into readers, but also dragged children and adults into a magical world that endures today in the way you can imagine: literature, cinema, theme parks, encounters ... All for the adventures of Potter , which although they ended in 2007 for the books (except for the famous play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Legacy, written by Jack Thorne and inspired by the JKRowling universe) and in 2010 for the movies. Now, although we have a new saga, Fantastic Animals, which continues with the magical universe; fans went wild when it was announced that Warner Bros. had acquired the rights to The Cursed Legacy in order to make a new film version that would feature its original stars, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. However, they were all rumors, because none of them have spoken about the supposed project. What's more, if we have to heed the words of Harry Potter himself, it will not happen: Daniel Radcliffe has confirmed that he will not play the character in the future.
In an interview that the actor has given to Variety on the occasion of the premiere of his latest work, Escape From Pretoria, in which he plays an anti-apartheid activist imprisoned by mistake and who plans to escape from prison; The British actor has made it very clear that he intends to continue with his decision to play risky roles and, unfortunately, Harry Potter is not on that path. When asked if he would return at some point in the remaining installments of Fantastic Animals (two premieres and four more to come), the actor answered emphatically: No.
"I do not think I'll come back. I don't like to say 'no' to things, but it's not something that crosses my mind. I feel like those movies have moved on and are perfectly fine without us. I'm happy that it continues like this, I like how my life is now. I'm not saying I'll never work on a series again, but I like the flexibility that my career has right now, and I don't want to find myself in a situation where I've signed up for a series several years in advance. "
Come on, don't expect to see Daniel Radcliffe in the shoes of Harry Potter. In any case, it would not be necessary either, because if the saga has been characterized by something, it is knowing how to replace its characters very well; You just have to see how hardly anyone realized that Michael Gambon was taking over the role of Albus Dumbledore after the death of actor Richard Harris, or that this new Fantastic Animals universe is giving fans the necessary elements of the original saga. for your enjoyment.
