When the credits rolled on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, fans of the series thought they’d seen the last of Daniel Radcliffe playing the boy who lived. But they’d also thought they’d seen the last of the Harry Potter series, period—so with the new play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child now in previews in London, is it possible Radcliffe could return to the wizarding world, too?
“It would depend on the script,” the actor told Radio Times. “The circumstances would have to be pretty extraordinary. But then I am sure Harrison Ford said that with Han Solo and look what happened there! So I am saying ‘No’ for now but leaving room to backtrack in the future.”
Radcliffe is currently appearing in Now You See Me 2 and Swiss Army Man, which opens Friday.
