JAKARTA - The fans' desire to watch Daniel Radcliffe play the Harry Potter series doesn't seem to materialize. Recently, the actor stated that he did not join the planned series at Max.

Daniel Radcliffe starred in Harry Potter in eight of the same-grade films that aired from 2001 to 2011.

I don't think so, replied Daniel Radcliffe when asked about the cameo news in the series. He explained that the production team seemed to want them to be away from the franchise that raised their names.

"I think they want to make a new start. And I don't know what's going to happen with us in it. I'm very happy to watch it with other people," he continued, citing Variety.

When asked if he explicitly refused to join the Harry Potter series, he chose to stay away from the project.

"I will be political about this and not go on hypothetically," he said again.

This is not the first time Daniel Radcliffe has tried to get away from the production. From the start, he hoped the Harry Potter series could be a new start for the franchise.

"Of course from everything I read about the series he said they would start new and of course it would be strange if I suddenly got there," said Daniel Radcliffe.

"I think Harry Potter is destined to be like Holmes... so it's always continued. I think out there there are eight-year-olds whose lives will change in the next few years," he said.

Harry Potter is one of the Warner Bros. franchises which is planned to air in 2026. The series is also projected to have 8 seasons and is adapted from a book by JK Rowling.

So far no directors and players have been announced.
