Harry Potter & The Cursed Child Can't Happen Without Daniel Radcliffe
If Daniel Radcliffe isn't ready to return to the role that made him a star, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will have to wait. TheHarry Potter film series is 20 years old and still one of the world's biggest and most beloved franchises. While the Fantastic Beasts films try to keep the magic alive for audiences, nothing can compete with a trip back to the enchanted halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. As such, a big-screen adaptation of The Cursed Child seems like an inevitability, and in order for that film to meet diehard fan expectations, Daniel Radcliffe's return as Harry Potter is required.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a theatrical play set 19 years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The play follows a new generation of Potters, Granger-Weasleys, and Malfoys as they enter adolescence and their first year at the famed wizarding school. The play is critically acclaimed and has won several Laurence Olivier Awards and Tony Awards, including Best Play. In addition to the play's success, the script's printed edition is a best seller, with 4 million copies sold in the first week alone. The play begins at the memorable epilogue of the final film, in which an adult Harry and Ginny Potter see their son Albus off to his first day of school, where he develops a deep friendship with Scorpius Malfoy. Together Potter and Malfoy eventually plot to use Harry's Time-Turner to travel back in time and prevent the death of Cedric Diggory. They aim to do this along with the help of a mysterious girl named Delphi, who is serving as a caretaker for Cedric's elderly dad Amos and claiming to be his niece.
