Daniel Radcliffe opens up on not reprising his role in 'Harry Potter' prequels

The Harry Potter film series has been one of the highly acclaimed Hollywood franchises of all time. However, the franchise came to an end with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, which released in 2011. All the 8 films star Daniel Radcliffe as the lead actor, essaying the role of Harry Potter. These films are based on J.K. Rowling's 7 eponymous novels by J. K. Rowling. However, this did not lead to the makers of the film concluding the Harry Potter series, as they decided to continue the franchise with its prequel series of five films called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Recently, in an interview with a leading American magazine, Daniel Radcliffe admitted that he would not reprise his role in the prequels.
