Daniel Radcliffe opens up about playing Harry Potter again
LONDON -- In the years since the final Harry Potter film, Daniel Radcliffe has had an impressively varied career.
He's played a famous Beat poet, a haunted lawyer and -- unforgettably -- a farting corpse, but that doesn't mean he's going to rule out a return to where it all started.
Radcliffe was recently asked by The Hollywood Reporter about the possibility of a film based on the Cursed Child play, and whether or not he'd consider reprising his childhood role if the opportunity arose.

“I’m never going to close the door," said Radcliffe. "That would be a stupid thing to do -- but I think I’ll be happy enough and secure enough to let someone else play it."
Radcliffe went on to say that it's not a concern right now because he'd be too young to play Harry in the Cursed Child (the character is in his mid-thirties in the play's story).
"But even in 10 years' time I would still feel strange about going back to it," he said.
“There’s a part of me that’s like, some things are better left untouched. If we went back to Potter, there’s a chance we’d make what Star Wars: The Force Awakens was to the original Star Wars, but there’s also the chance that we’d make Phantom Menace.
“So I don’t want to go back to anything like that and maybe sour what people have already loved.”
Still, that's not a definite no, is it?
There's always the chance we may be getting more of that sweet Radcliffe magic, one day.
