Daniel Radcliffe isn't hopping on his Nimbus 2000 again anytime soon 🧹 The actor says a film adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is “not something I’m really interested in doing right now.”⁠ bit.ly/3Ipf03E

“This isn’t the answer that anybody’s going to want, but I think I was so able to go back and enjoy it because it’s not a part of my day-to-day life anymore,” Radcliffe told the New York Times of signing up for the HBO Max #HarryPotter reunion. bit.ly/3Ipf03E

“I’m getting to a point where I feel like I made it out of ‘Potter’ okay and I’m really happy with where I am now, and to go back would be such a massive change to my life," Radcliffe said. bit.ly/3Ipf03E

Radcliffe added, “I’m never going to say never, but the ‘Star Wars’ guys had like 30, 40 years before they went back. For me, it’s only been 10. It’s not something I’m really interested in doing right now.” bit.ly/3Ipf03E

Buzz for a “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” film adaptation skyrocketed last fall after “Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Chambers of Secrets” director Chris Columbus told Variety that he’s eager to reunite Watson, Radcliffe and Grint in a film version. bit.ly/3Ipf03E

“Cursed Child,” written by Jack Thorne from a story co-created by J.K. Rowling, is set 19 years after the final book and focuses on an adult Harry, who works at the Ministry of Magic, and his son, Albus Severus Potter, who is attending Hogwarts. bit.ly/3Ipf03E
