Daniel Radcliffe refused to watch the new series about Harry Potter

British actor Daniel Radcliffe, who became famous thanks to the role of Harry Potter in the original film franchise, admitted that he is unlikely to watch a new television adaptation of JK Rowling’s works. He said this in an interview with the Associated Press.

Radcliffe explained his decision by his lack of habit of watching TV series. According to him, even popular TV projects are often left out of his attention, because watching serial stories takes too much time. In addition, the actor noted that he has already spent a significant part of his life in the world of Harry Potter.

The actor also refused to become a mentor to Dominic McLaughlin, who will play the main role in the new version. Radcliffe believes that the young actor should cope with this task on his own, and does not want to impose his own recommendations on him.

The first season of HBO will be based on J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The series is scheduled to premiere on December 25.

The creators plan to film all seven novels of the writer, devoting each of them a separate television season. The second season is based on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
