 Daniel Radcliffe is being a selfish little mudblood right now, and I don't like it. He was recently asked by a publication that I can't remember, and I'm not professional enough to look up, if he would come back to play Harry Potter again in The Cursed Child. Director Christopher Columbus, who, yes, is the very same explorer that traveled across the Atlantic Ocean several times in 1492, has expressed interest in a Cursed Child screenplay adaptation to the big screen. And of course he wants Daniel back. He's eyeing him up. Nothing's been put to parchment yet on this though, and Daniel Radcliffe doesn't outright dismiss the idea of coming back to the character, just maybe not for a couple more decades. He mentioned how the main Star Wars cast didn't have to do this again for like 30 years, so he wants a little break. And it's understandable, the kid spent like 14 or so years working on Harry Potter. He lost a lot of childhood there. He probably wants to do other things before going back into that massive spotlight again. Now, of course this does pain me because I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter movies, and I would love to see more with the original cast. But then there's another larger part of me, the rational one that says Adam. It's not gonna happen. Even if they do make more movies with the original characters, they're probably gonna be trash. They're probably gonna be really bad. Like, look what happens every time they try to pull these old dogs out of retirement for one last ride, decades later. It loses half of the charm, most the likeability, all the creativity. It's just nothing but a product, a shell of its former self. I did a joke video a couple years back where basically they do make another Harry Potter where he's 30 years separated and he's grizzled, he's got a scar down the eye, he's wearing like the house robes and he's pissed. He's essentially Luke Skywalker thinking it's time for the wizarding world to die. Turns his back on him. I did the video as kind of a jab at Last Jedi, believe it or not. Just saying how completely off character it would be to see that like we did with Luke. It was just kind of me justifying my feelings about Last Jedi and how, hey look, what if this happened to Harry Potter and he had all this character development that we didn't see and so what we're left with is a character who's completely separated from what we knew before. It just, it rubs people the wrong way. Now if you gave him a movie or two to build into this new character, it softens the blow. It still hurts, but at least it makes sense in the story and we're there for the ride. Anyway, I'm not mad at Daniel Radcliffe. He's got some good stuff in the works. He likes to do indie things, but he's also getting into some blockbusters lately with Weird Al. Anyway, I totally get where Radcliffe's coming from. It hurts as a Potter fan because I want to see more, but I also have the sneaking suspicion. It's just not gonna be good. And I did hear bad things about the Curse Childs, whatever that thing was, the play, I guess. Again, I didn't read it, so who knows? Maybe it's great. I do know this. The franchise is a massive cash cow for Warner Brothers. They're not gonna let this thing die. They have fantastic beasts. I think there's two more of those scheduled and once that's done, they're gonna turn their sights back on old Potter. They're gonna want to get back to the glory. Personally, this is a massive world. Do something new. Tell new stories. Take it in a different time period. Set it in a different location. New characters. Just kind of be done with Harry Potter altogether. That's what the wise part of me is saying to do. But I have a feeling that Hollywood's gonna be like, nope, gotta get Granger back. Gotta get the Weasleys in there. Maybe the character makes a massive time turner and he goes back. So we get all the characters that died again in the film. We got Sirius Black in here, Mad Eye Moody. Man, the nerdgasms people would be experiencing would be off the charts. All right, those are my thoughts. I'm sure you have your own. Do you think that this is crap, that Danny Radcliffe is turning his back on the franchise that made him all that money and fame? Or do you think, hey, he put in the work, he put in the time, he did a reunion, he can come back to it later? Let this kid do his own thing for a bit. To me, he didn't disrespect the films or the franchise. He didn't say he was never coming back, so I think this is fine. Let's just pour out some butter beer for the idea that we might never see him in the role again. And that does kind of bum me out, but at the same time, we have what we have.
