There’s been quite a lot of discourse concerning the upcoming Harry Potter collection. These with a Max subscription will have the ability to enjoyment of an extended, extra detailed model of J.Ok. Rowling’s standard novels being advised, however followers have had quite a lot of ideas recently about Rowling herself, in addition to recasting forged members from Emma Watson to Danielle Radcliffe and extra, and even the brand new forged names which have been coming down the pipeline. Whereas most OG’s haven’t expressed curiosity in a return for the brand new collection, there was one massive exception: Tom Felton.
How Most Forged Members Really feel About Returning For HBO Max’s Harry Potter Sequence
Whereas some followers would love among the primary forged members to return – maybe in new grownup Hogwarts roles? – quite a lot of forged members have expressed an unwillingness to return again. When requested, Daniel Radcliffe was fairly cryptic concerning the risk, noting it was extra of a “hypothetical” than a likelihood. Bonnie Wright, who performed Ginny Weasley, referred to as the chance “complicated.” Matthew Lewis was additionally ambivalent a couple of return.
For his half, Rupert Grint beforehand expressed curiosity in coming again to Harry Potter, however extra within the context of a return to enjoying Ron in some undertaking down the road – undoubtedly not a risk with the HBO Max collection.
Some forged members like David Tennant have expressed an unwillingness to return again to the collection, as J.Ok. Rowling is serving as an government producer. (Tennant solely had a small position within the motion pictures, regardless.) It’s true some forged members appear bored with a return.
Nevertheless, it is also value noting the collection is rehashing quite a lot of what followers bought to see on the massive display within the early to mid aughts, and so folks can’t return because the grown-up variations of their characters in the identical means one thing like an on-screen portrayal of Harry Potter and the Cursed Youngster may permit forged members to return again an reprise roles as a substitute of inhabiting new ones. (Although Radcliffe seems like he’d nonetheless be out in that case.)
Having stated this, OG forged members may pop in for brand spanking new roles.
Tom Felton Desires To ‘Sneak In’ To The New Harry Potter Sequence
Tom Felton, alternatively, has not been ambivalent a couple of return to the Wizarding World. Together with nonetheless interacting with Harry Potter followers on a frequent foundation, he’d stated previously he’d like to return in some capability. This, in fact, was earlier than Max revealed the opportunity of a streaming collection, however that isn’t his final phrase on the matter, both.
While doing interviews for the brand new Chicago expertise for the franchise, he expressed pleasure over the brand new collection, and already has a plan for making an expertise (through Day by day Mail):
I’m not against that in any respect. Any likelihood to be a part of the Wizarding World is an efficient one… I’ll undoubtedly be sneaking right into a background shot as an additional.
As a substitute of enjoying a serious position within the new fantasy drama, Felton simply desires to be concerned in some capability, and it seems like changing into an Easter egg of kinds within the backdrop of a scene is the precise route he want to take. There’s nonetheless a while earlier than that risk involves fruition, because the present remains to be casting and isn’t even anticipated to hit the TV schedule till 2026, however I would assume if Felton wished to pop in as a background actor he may.
We’ll have to attend and see, and we’ll maintain you abreast of any new particulars as they break.
