HBO can probably count on millions of Harry Potter fans to stream his new TV series, but it seems unlikely that Daniel Radcliffe will be part of it.
In an interview with the Associated Press, the actor said he wasn’t sure if the Harry Potter the series is reportedly on his watchlist – not least because he has yet to watch some TV classics.
“I don’t know if I’m going to (watch), honestly,” said Radcliffe, who played Potter in all eight Warner Bros. films. Pictures. “I watched, I participated in a lot of Harry Potter already… and what’s more, I don’t watch TV anymore.
“I didn’t see Break the bad. I didn’t see Mad Men. I haven’t seen some of the real classics. So, you know, eight hours is a lot to watch.
Radcliffe, speaking at Netflix Measures world premiere in New York, added that he had no advice to give to Dominic McLaughlin, his on-screen successor.
“I try really hard not to give Dominic advice. He has it. He doesn’t need advice from me. If I tell you something, then the next interview people have with him, they’ll say, ‘Oh, and Dan said you should do that,’ and I’m like, I don’t want to haunt this poor kid through interviews.
“So I don’t have any advice for him. He’s going to be amazing, and you know, I hope I can, I think I can meet him one day – and I’m very excited about that.”
The new Harry Potter the series premieres on HBO on December 25.
Radcliffe, Young Mazino and Peter Dinklage join the cast of Netflix animated feature film Measures. The film is a reimagining of Cinderella story and is directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa. It will premiere on November 20.
