He also revealed the character he’d like to play if he wasn’t Harry…

Harry Potter will forever be one of our favourite book series and the films weren’t half bad either, especially from the Prisoner of Azkaban onwards.

Daniel Radcliffe plays the role of HP in the movies and along with Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, they will always be Harry, Ron and Hermione in our eyes.

Laura Holland from Her.ie caught up with Daniel Radcliffe recently and discussed his latest movies Imperium and Swiss Army Man. But of course, she couldn’t leave without discussing some good old Harry Potter.

When asked who should take over his role as Harry in the movie The Cursed Child, Radcliffe had some interesting theories.

“Jamie Parker, who is doing it in the play, is fantastic,” Radcliffe said. “Other than that, I’m going to really annoy him, but I feel like Elijah Wood gets recognised as me so much that he may as well have a go at playing the part.

“Maybe Elijah, but other than that I don’t know.”

Later, he was asked if he could play one Harry Potter character apart from Harry, who would it be?

Of course the answer was Sirius Black because “he’s the coolest.”
