Daniel Radcliffe Says He May Skip the New Harry Potter Series
Daniel Radcliffe Harry Potter series comments: At a Netflix premiere, the actor said he doesn't know if he will watch the HBO reboot, saying he doesn't watch much TV and that eight hours is a lot to commit to. He also said he is happy the franchise is being passed on to a new generation.
Daniel Radcliffe Harry Potter series comments, Digi Mart USA News: It has been 25 years since the first Harry Potter movie made 11-year-old Daniel Radcliffe famous, and about 15 years since he began distancing himself from the franchise by taking obscure roles in original scripts. Even so, his new projects keep leading back to Harry Potter.
At the premiere of Netflix’s animated movie Steps, where Radcliffe voices the Prince, he was asked whether he will watch the upcoming Harry Potter series. “I don’t know if I will, honestly,” Radcliffe told the Associated Press.
“I’ve watched, I’ve been in a lot of Harry Potter already, and also, I don’t watch any TV. I haven’t seen Breaking Bad.
I haven’t seen Mad Men. I haven’t seen some of the real classics.
So, you know, eight hours is a lot of anything to watch.”
The HBO series has been surrounded by controversy since its announcement, largely because of J.K. Rowling.
Radcliffe and his Harry Potter co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have publicly defended trans rights for years after Rowling made her views known, and in September 2025 Rowling attacked Watson on X. Radcliffe has not shown support for Rowling’s positions.
In a 2024 interview he said, “If those are Jo’s views, then they are not the views of everybody associated with the Potter franchise.”
Radcliffe has also said he is glad the role is being passed on. Speaking on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in March, he said, “I’m delighted that when my kid grows up and is into Harry Potter, he can watch a version that is not me.” When asked at the premiere whether he had advice for his successor, Dominic McLaughlin, Radcliffe said, “I don’t want to haunt this poor child through interviews, so I have no advice for him.
He’s going to be amazing.”
Radcliffe has done his part as an alum of the franchise, but it is clear he is tired of Harry Potter questions. He will always be the Boy Who Lived, but for now he is simply the man who grew up and is doing other things.
