Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe Says He Wants to Play Gary Oldman’s Role in Reboot

As HBO’s reboot of the Harry Potter series progresses with casting, Daniel Radcliffe, who played the lead character in the film adaptations of JK Rowling’s books, has shared his desired role for the new show. Since his stint as the boy who lived ended with 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Radcliffe expressed a preference for taking on the character of Sirius Black in the upcoming series.

Daniel Radcliffe says Sirius Black would be fun to play in Harry Potter reboot series

In a recent conversation, Daniel Radcliffe shared his desire to play Sirius Black in the upcoming Harry Potter remake. However, despite his enthusiasm, he acknowledged that making this idea a reality might not be possible.

During conversation with The Movie Dweeb, Radcliffe mentioned, “A challenging character study? I’m pondering on something exciting but not too lengthy. I’ve always admired one of the other intriguing characters from the series – Sirius Black. He certainly seems quite charismatic and cool.

Although Daniel Radcliffe expressed his excitement about portraying Harry Potter’s godfather in HBO’s upcoming reboot, he clarified that it wasn’t going to transpire. He explained, “However, let me assure you, there is no universe where I will truly enact that character. But feel free to use the title ‘Dan Radcliffe suggests Sirius Black would be enjoyable to portray, but he won’t actually be taking on the role.’
