If our parents or the eldest among us grew up with memorable sagas such as Star Wars or IndianaJonesthe most striking saga of the 2000s remains for its part, without a doubt, Harry Potter. The universe of wizards created by JK Rowling continues to expand today, and many fans hope to find their favorite actors in future projects. Daniel Radcliffe’s recent statement on this subject may therefore not sadden you.
Harry Potter: a possible return of the actors of the original saga?
If the series of books published from 1997 met with enormous success, it is above all through the cinematographic saga thatHarry Potter gained international fame. More than ten years after the release of the eighth and final film in the original saga, the “potterheads” are still millions. And if they will soon be able to plunge back into the wizarding world with the arrival of Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets they are also waiting for another movie.
In 2017, JK Rowling, accompanied by other authors, proposed on stage a play entitled Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Set 19 years after the events recounted in The Deathly Hallows, it focuses on the adventures of Albus, Harry’s son, who goes back in time to try to save the life of Cedric Diggory, killed by Voldemort at the end of the Triwizard Tournament. Nevertheless, the spectator has the opportunity to find the trio formed by Harry, Ron and Hermione, this time as adults.
However, they are played by different actors from the films. It was therefore enough for fans to hope to find Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe in a film adaptation of the play. But they will have to wait.
Daniel Radcliffe wants to distance himself from Harry Potter
In a recent interview with New York TimesDaniel Radcliffe came to talk about his cult role of the bespectacled wizard and the possibility of resuming it in a film Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. A project that would greatly interest Warner and director Chris Columbus, but not the main interested party: he declares that “It’s not something that [l]really interested right now.” The 32-year-old actor explains that he is happy to finally have broken free from his perpetual association with Harry Potter and that it suits him very well.
He also explains that he thinks that if he was able to come back during the Back to Hogwarts there is little while taking pleasure in it, it is “because it is no longer part of [sa] daily life”. As you will have understood, Daniel Radcliffe no longer wants to suffer from the syndrome that affects the actor who played a cult role and who can no longer detach himself from it.
If it can reassure you, he clarifies that he does not definitively close the door to the idea of a potential return in the skin of the sorcerer with the scar and evokes in particular the case of Star Wars, which has seen some actors make a comeback after decades away from the saga. And if that’s not enough to comfort you, maybe the game Hogwarts Legacywhose exit window has finally become clearer, will you be able to wait!
