Daniel Radcliffe, famously known for his role as Harry Potter in the beloved film series, has dashed the hopes of fans eagerly anticipating his return to the wizarding world. In an exclusive interview with E! News at the Drama League Awards, Radcliffe revealed that he is unlikely to make an appearance in the upcoming Harry Potter TV series set to premiere on Max in 2026.
The 34-year-old actor expressed his belief that producers are aiming for a “clean break” between the original film franchise and the new TV series, indicating that he does not foresee himself reprising his iconic role. Despite this, Radcliffe remained cryptic about the possibility of a return, stating that he would not deal in hypotheticals.
While Radcliffe may not be donning his Hogwarts robes again anytime soon, he is currently focused on his flourishing career in theater, with a Tony Award nomination under his belt for his performance in the musical “Merrily We Roll Along.” Additionally, Radcliffe recently embraced fatherhood after welcoming his first child with partner Erin Darke last year.
Reflecting on his new role as a father, Radcliffe expressed admiration for women and highlighted the incredible journey of parenthood that his partner has embarked on. As he navigates this new chapter in his life, Radcliffe continues to captivate audiences with his talent and humility, proving that he is much more than just the boy who lived.
