Daniel Radcliffe Says HBO’s New ‘Harry Potter’ Star Will “Be Better Than Me”

Daniel Radcliffe praised Dominic McLaughlin as HBO prepares to reboot Harry Potter, urging media to respect the new cast and avoid pressuring original stars.

  • Last year, Daniel Radcliffe revealed on Good Morning America that he sent a supportive letter to HBO's new Harry Potter lead, Dominic McLaughlin.
  • Wanting to be supportive, Radcliffe said the letter was meant to wish McLaughlin all the best as he steps into HBO's Harry Potter reboot, hoping he enjoys it even more than Radcliffe did.
  • Rupert Grint likewise wrote a letter to Alastair Stout last year as he took over Ron Weasley, and Dominic McLaughlin replied to Radcliffe saying support felt `insane`.
  • Recently, Radcliffe urged the press not to ask about the original cast and asked people to avoid being 'weird spectral phantoms' in the new cast's lives.
  • The series is expected to premiere in 2027, and Radcliffe said he plans to show his children HBO's Harry Potter series because he is intrigued by the reboot.
