Daniel not considering reprising 'Harry Potter' role
03 March, 2020
Within an interview with Variety magazine Daniel Radcliffe spoke about playing 'Harry Potter' in 'Fantastic Beasts' films. The actor isn't considering reprising his iconic role of 'Harry Potter' in the fantasy franchise's spin-off films, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'.
Radcliffe who fronted the movie series created by JK Rowling for a decade, said the new films are "doing fine" without the original characters.
"I don't believe so. I can't stand say no to things, but it's not something that I'm rushing to accomplish. I feel like those films have shifted and they are doing just fine without us. I'm pleased to keep it that way.
I like what my entire life is currently. I'm not saying that I'll never go back into any franchise, but I love the flexibility that I've with my career now. And I don't want to get into a situation where I'm enrolled in one series for a long time in advance,"
Predicated on Rowling's fantasy books of the same name, 'Harry Potter' series translated into eight movie installments, released between 2001-11, and starred Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in the lead which went on to become a whole generation's favorite.
A spin-off prequel series started with 2016's 'Fantastic Beasts and How to locate Them', also penned by Rowling, marking the beginning of the Wizarding World.
Led by Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander, the yet-to-be-titled third chapter will be released in 2021. Brazilian city Rio De Janeiro will serve as the setting of the brand new film and the returning cast members include Jude Law, Johnny Depp, Ezra Miller, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler and Katherine Waterston.
