Daniel Radcliffe Writes Supportive Letter to New Harry Potter Star, Receives ‘Sweet’ Reply

Radcliffe says he wrote privately to avoid overshadowing the young cast.

Overview

  • Speaking on Good Morning America on Nov. 18, Radcliffe said he wrote to 11-year-old Dominic McLaughlin and received “a very sweet note back.”
  • He emphasized he does not want to be “a specter in the light of these children” and told McLaughlin he hopes he has “an even better time” than he did.
  • Radcliffe reiterated he will not appear in HBO’s series and has said he looks forward to watching as an audience member.
  • The adaptation began production in July and is slated to debut in 2027, with each of J. K. Rowling’s seven books planned as its own season.
  • McLaughlin leads the new cast with Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton, while newcomers such as John Lithgow join and Warwick Davis returns as Professor Flitwick.
