Video: Daniel Radcliffe might want to play James Potter if Harry Potter series reboot
 
While promoting the release of The Woman in Black (which made an estimated $8.3 million on Friday in the U.S. and Canada), Daniel Radcliffe admitted that he would like to portray Harry Potter's father, James, if the book series were ever rebooted for the big screen. In the past Dan said he would consider portraying Sirius Black in the past, but with James the actor found that he would get to be back in the series but not have to work for the entire duration of the series. Dan also noted that Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban held the most meaning for him, given that it was the one where he decided he wanted to become an actor, and got to work with Gary Oldman for the first time.

Dan has mentioned in the past that he got to keep two sets of Harry's glasses as personal souvenirs, but keeps them locked away in a London vault, given how "precious" they are.

that might be nice comeback!

AshleyWheat 02-05-2012 07:00 AM

I would absolutely love that! Bring the whole trio back, as well!

RonaldX 02-05-2012 09:47 AM

that would be an excellent idea. The entire series reboot. But Im afraid that wont be happening soon.
Speaking of the idea of Daniel playing James Potter, I would like to know what Rupert and Emma would like to play

ShiningStar 02-05-2012 09:48 AM

I'm probably in the minority of people who would prefer the books never be rebooted for the big screen. I just can't imagine anyone else playing Harry,Ron and Hermione. Now if everyone came back as their original character for some kind of sequel...I could maybe get into that.

bonnieginnyfan1 02-05-2012 10:26 AM

I wouldn't imagine anyone else playing any actor. It just wouldn't be right for me.

HarryPotterGirl 02-05-2012 01:29 PM

Wow Dan can be a good singer. Great interview!

hpluvr037 02-05-2012 02:12 PM

That would be great, especially if his son played Harry! :xd:

Steelsheen 02-05-2012 02:24 PM

im actually not thrilled with the idea of a reboot. unless JKR herself writes something for the Marauders era i would hope that the studios learn to leave this alone.

TilsoWilso 02-05-2012 02:56 PM

the precious glasses and then singing. You're killing me with your charm, Dan!

xHazel.Eyedx 02-05-2012 03:02 PM

I hope they never remake these films, too many good movies have been ruined by remakes! Just leave them and their magic be :) although if JKR wishes to write a prequel book then I'm all for it coming to the big screen! It could end with Dumbledore leaving Harry on the Dursely's doorstep with the words 'Good luck, Harry Potter'....I've thought about this far too much!!

Prof. McGonagall 02-05-2012 05:10 PM

Excellent!

Devina Wellheart 02-05-2012 05:34 PM

I think he should play the part of Serius....I think he'd be brilliant in that roll. :)

Bree 02-05-2012 08:08 PM

Lovely interview! :D

XenoLongbottom 02-05-2012 08:35 PM

LOL! But what about playing Dumbledore????????????

midnight_thestral 02-05-2012 09:43 PM

I don't believe this is a good idea. It would be nice to end the Harry Potter franchise now as the final film has taken place and JK Rowling said she wont' be writing anymore Harry Potter books. Just leave the magic of the finale of Harry Potter as it is :)

HogwartsHokage 02-05-2012 09:48 PM

I don't like the idea of a reboot either, but if Dan wants to play James, that's perfectly a good role for him in a reboot. :)

Expecto-Penguin 02-05-2012 09:59 PM

i loved this interview! but i think that is a good thing he locked away the harry potter glasses :D. they are too precious

George Watson 02-05-2012 11:31 PM

Where is she
 
OK this is a good sign so all is needed is someone to send this artical to JKR and hope she get's started and if she could another ten years would be great. I don't know about the other 2 stars(Emma and Ron) but I think alot of the other stars would come back beacause it would be a shame to put their kids in the spot light for just a couple of seconds,give them a chance to prove their selves

Riku Masen 02-06-2012 12:36 AM

Like everybody else, I don't like the idea of a reboot, but if Dan played James that would be awesome.

FreeDobby 02-06-2012 01:45 AM

Daniel Radcliffe is just AMAZING!!

Paint.the.Limelight 02-06-2012 03:05 AM

Hmm, like many others I don't know how I feel about remaking the HP films. Maybe in 20 or 30 years, but I think they're fine how they are now. And if they do end up redoing them, it would be so adorable if he would be James! I'd much rather have him than anyone else.

Gerard 02-06-2012 03:43 PM

i wanna be the Dark Lord

purebloodprincess87 02-07-2012 03:10 AM

as soon as he started sing i just fell more in love w/dan

Patronus Charm 02-08-2012 06:00 PM
