Daniel Radcliffe Opts Out of Rumored Return for Upcoming “Harry Potter” Series

Warner Bros. Discovery is planning an adaptation of the Harry Potter book series into a streaming show, but Daniel Radcliffe says he will not reprise his role as the titular character.
Radcliffe believes the new show will want to start fresh with a new cast and that his presence would be distracting.
The series is expected to run for a decade, with each season covering one book in J.K. Rowling’s series, though Rowling’s involvement is unclear given past controversies.
Radcliffe enjoyed playing Harry Potter for a decade but has since moved on to new projects and supports passing the role to a new generation of actors.
