In conversation with Horowitz regarding re-entering the Harry Potter universe, the actor said, “I would probably want to go with like, Sirius or Lupin. Those were always the two characters that I was like ‘They’re great.” The actor also went on to say, “I’m obviously biased by my experience of filming those scenes, with those people, and they’re like some of my favourite memories." 

Daniel Radcliffe’s openness to play characters other than the much-loved Harry Potter may seem a tad bit disappointing to fans. However, there's a silver lining here. Radcliffe not playing the role of Potter anymore would mean that he would act as a mentor for the next actor who takes his place and will have massive shoes to fill.

Even though fans would love a reboot of the Harry Potter series, there has been no official confirmation of the same. However, having said that reports hint at HBO Max working on a show revolving around the J.K Rowling series.
