'It Was Inevitable'; Daniel Radcliffe's Thoughts on Harry Potter Recasting

The creation of a new version of Harry Potter's adventures is something that could not be avoided. Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the lead role, is of a similar opinion.

It will soon be 12 years since the release of the last installment of Harry Potter's cinematic adventures. During this time, fans of the universe created by J.K. Rowling have received three spin-offs. However, their magic was not good enough and Warner Bros. decided to re-make the story of the young wizard and his friends.

The creation of a TV show based on the adventures of Harry Potter was, in fact, inevitable. The actor playing the role, Daniel Radcliffe, is of a similar opinion. The actor admitted this in a recent interview, during which he compared the character he has played so far to another iconic hero (via Screen Rant).

"I think Harry Potter was always going to become someone like Sherlock Holmes. People watched Basil Rathbone in the role and said likewise: 'No one else can play him.' But you know, it's going to happen anyway. The character will be passed on to someone else. I now have a strange thought about an eight-year-old boy whose life will change dramatically in the coming years. My brain goes in that direction.... But it was inevitable, the creation of new films and series."

It's impossible to disagree with Radcliff on this point. Harry Potter is too powerful and too profitable a franchise for Warner Bros. to let it end in failures, which must undoubtedly be called the three parts of Fantastic Beasts.

Recall that Daniel Radcliffe has played Harry Potter in eight films. For ten years, fans around the world have associated him with this character. So it's not surprising that many of them can't get over the creation of a new version and casting another actor in the lead role.

Finally, let us remind you that all Harry Potter movies can be watched on HBO Max.

Although he is not a typical gamer, and has only Football Manager on his computer, he finally ended up on GRYOnline.pl. There is not a day when he wouldn't watch reviews of new smartphones, that's why he initially wrote about all kinds of technology. Over time, however, he shifted his interests more towards cinematography.
