Radcliffe not interested in revisiting Harry Potter role

Author: Reuters

LONDON: Pottermania may be alive and well thanks to upcoming Harry Potter spinoff film ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them’ and a hit London play, but actor Daniel Radcliffe says he has no interest in revisiting his role as the boy wizard.

Asked about speculation that there could be a movie version of the London play ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,’ Radcliffe, 27, said no-one had contacted him about a new film. “Nobody has said anything to me about … revitalising the films, so I don’t know,” Radcliffe told Reuters in London on Friday.

“It’s not something I think I’d be interested in, and also if they do it now I feel they should just cast the people from the play,” said Radcliffe, who was just 11 years old when he was cast as Potter. Radcliffe was in London to open a three-day entertainment festival of films and family activities, including screenings of his two most recent indie movies ‘Swiss Army Man’ and ‘Imperium’.
