Could a sequel to "Harry Potter" be in the works? If it is you can count on not seeing Daniele Radcliffe play the boy who lived. In a recent interview with TimeOut, Radcliffe said in the event of a sequel or remake he would be happy to appear as Harry Potter's father but is no longer interested in playing Potter himself.
"Even if Jo [J.K. Rowling] wrote a sequel, which is unlikely, I'd take a LOT of talking round. I've done so much work to establish myself as something outside that series I'd be really hesitant to go back. Even if they were set later in time," Radcliffe said. "I'm 23, which is too old to be running round in a school boy's cape... I'd never totally close the door for the reason that Jo's a great writer. But no more school boy stuff. A cameo as Harry's dad? That would be Perfect!"
The 23-year-old English actor also seems to like the idea of being a father in real life. He told The Independent that he hopes to start a family before he reaches his thirties.
"I want that. I don't know when or [with whom] but I want it. I like the ideal of being a youngish parent," Radcliffe said. "So I've got the energy to play football even though they'll be better than me by the time they're four."
He recently split with his longtime girlfriend, Rosie Coker but has been spotted getting cozy with other actresses like Erin Darke.
Radcliffe is currently working on writing a script for a "dark comedy" and will be starring in "The Cripple of Inishmaan," a comedic play which opens June 8 in London.
"It's a serious attempt at black comedy. A very, very, very dark comedy," Radcliffe told The Independent about his new writing venture. "I've always loved the way Martin McDonagh writes. That very economical but rhythmic way he writes the interplay between characters. You learn about their relationships through how they're talking not what they're saying. That's the kind of writing I love and I aspire to."
