The Harry Potter series too long for… Daniel Radcliffe?
“I don’t know if I’ll watch it, honestly…”
Will Harry Potter watch his successor?
Nothing is less certain… The original interpreter of the young wizard is not sure whether he will take on the new HBO adaptation. Eight hours of television is a lot, even for a Hogwarts fan! This is what he just told the Associated Press:
“I don’t know if I’ll watch it, honestly. I’ve already spent a lot of time in the Harry Potter universe. And then, I don’t watch any series. I haven’t seen Breaking Bad, I haven’t seen Mad Men, or some of the great classics. Eight hours is a long time. That’s a lot of time to watch anything…”
Daniel Radcliffe was 11 years old when he was chosen to play the young wizard imagined by JK Rowling. For more than ten years and eight films, he gave his traits to the character, until the conclusion of the saga at the cinema in 2011. An adventure which therefore seems to have been enough for him, at least for the moment.
However, the actor had already rejoiced at the idea that his son could discover another version of the hero with glasses, which would not be played by his own father. “I’m really excited that when my son gets older and is interested in Harry Potter, he’ll be able to watch a version where it’s not me. I think watching it with his dad would be less cool. It would take him out of the story… And that means that at some point, someone else will be able to answer all the questions about Harry Potter, and I can pass the baton to him,” he explained earlier this year.
The Harry Potter series will launch on December 25 on HBO Max in France.
