Daniel Radcliffe Shares Letter Exchange With HBO’s New Harry Potter Lead

The original film star reiterated he will not appear in the reboot to keep the spotlight on the young cast.

Overview

  • Radcliffe told Good Morning America he wrote to 11-year-old Dominic McLaughlin and received a “very sweet” note in return.
  • He said his message wished the newcomer “the best time, and an even better time” than he had and noted the young trio “just seem so young.”
  • He emphasized he does not want to be “a specter” in the children’s lives and has no plans to participate in the series.
  • Production began in July at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden with a 2027 debut set, adapting each of J.K. Rowling’s seven books as a season.
  • The cast includes Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout, with adults such as John Lithgow as Dumbledore and Paapa Essiedu as Snape, and a BBC report says a temporary on-set school was built for the child actors.
