Desperate Parent Longs to Hug Missing Children
Daniel Radcliffe is poised to pass the “Harry Potter” torch to a new generation. In an interview with “Good Morning America,” he discussed the much-anticipated “Harry Potter” remake series set to debut on HBO in 2027.
A Message to the New Cast
Radcliffe shared that he has reached out to Dominic McLaughlin, who will portray Harry Potter in the remake, offering him encouragement. He expressed his hopes for McLaughlin’s experience, saying, “I hope you have the best time, and an even better time than I did.”
Fond Memories of Filming
Reflecting on his own early experiences, Radcliffe noted that he was around the same age as McLaughlin when he started filming the original series. He recognizes the unique journey these young actors are about to embark on.
- Radcliffe’s filming experience made him grow up in front of the camera.
- He acknowledged the youthfulness of McLaughlin and his co-stars.
- Radcliffe hopes the new cast enjoys their time on set.
Support for the LGBTQ Community
Despite Radcliffe’s fondness for the franchise, he has been vocal about his support for LGBTQ rights, particularly in light of comments made by series creator J.K. Rowling. In 2020, he issued a statement through The Trevor Project, advocating for the rights of trans individuals.
Radcliffe reaffirmed his commitment to supporting LGBTQ communities during a 2024 interview. He stated, “I will continue to support the rights of all LGBTQ people, and have no further comment than that.”
Excitement for the Future
With a talented new cast, including Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, excitement is building for the series. Radcliffe hopes the younger actors will embrace their roles and create their own memories.
As he prepares to step back, Radcliffe’s genuine wish is for McLaughlin and his co-stars to thrive in this new chapter of the beloved “Harry Potter” saga.
