Daniel Radcliffe is not interested in returning as Harry Potter in “Cursed Child”

Daniel Radcliffe admitted that “never say never” regarding a return to the Harry Potter franchise in the future.

Daniel Radcliffe recently met with Rupert Grint and Emma Watson to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

In the HBO episode, the stars and directors of the beloved franchise shared their favorite memories from working on the films.

Speaking to the New York Times, Radcliffe shut down hopes of playing Harry Potter in the play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” although he didn't rule out returning to the franchise entirely. Specifically, he said.

“This isn't the answer anyone would want, but I think I was able to go back and enjoy it because it's no longer part of my daily life.”

“I'm reaching a point where I feel like I've made it as Harry Potter and I'm very happy where I am right now, and going back would be such a massive change in my life.”

However, discussing a potential return in the future, Radcliffe mentioned his experience with Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford appearing in Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015 (30 years later). He believes that for him, returning is still too early because only 10 years have passed.
