Daniel Radcliffe said that he sent a warm letter to the young actor Dominic McLaughlin, who will play the new Harry Potter in the HBO series. According to Radcliffe, he does not want to loom over the new team as a “spirit of the past,” but only wished the heir to the role to feel even better in this image than he once did. The actor was touched that Dominic sent a very nice note in response, and the photos of the young performers make Radcliffe remember his own childhood on the set.
After the end of the franchise, Radcliffe resolutely abandoned the image of Harry and devoted himself to experimental cinema and theater. This path led him to Broadway, where he won his first Tony Award last year. Emma Watson also chose to develop outside the wizarding world, while Tom Felton continues to return to the role of Draco Malfoy from time to time — he recently reappeared as a grown-up character in the production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, causing a standing ovation from the audience.
Radcliffe also commented on Felton’s words that he was the inspiration for his colleague to enter the Broadway stage. Daniel noted that Tom always seemed like a “cool guy” to him as a child, so such confessions sound almost unreal, but incredibly pleasant. He added that anyone who loves acting should try themselves on stage — and is glad that Felton is now also a part of the Broadway world.
