Very exciting for the fans, I imagine. Curious whether he will bring in more money than Tom.

You better condition yourselves to hate Daniel Radcliffe once he’s inevitably cast as Harry Potter in the stage version.

The general public wouldn't care at all and the show would make a ton of money like it's been doing. That being said, he made his stance pretty clear and he does not need the money.

Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are not doing this show. Their stipulation for even doing the reunion was that JK not be involved. She has only gotten worse in the years since making the separation of art and artist near impossible.

I am sure the producers have courted Radcliffe extremely hard for this. Him stepping in would be an unpalatable step backward for a career he has brilliantly cultivated following the films.

You constantly make it your business when it's somebody or something you happen to dislike.

Yeah, that's never been true but feel free to not comment on my posts, your opinion never has nor ever will matter to me even though you comment on everything I post like a stalker :)

That's awesome Quibbler but my comment still stands :)

I guess millennials who were obsessed with this sh*t as kids are now showing their kids? I don't know, a child wizard book never appealed to me but clearly, millions (billions?) of people just cannot get enough.

Daniels career alone is enough of a reason for him not to do it. He's built a diverse and successful career and is pretty well respected as an actor. He is one of the few to have broken the child actor curse.

Emma i dont think has much interest in acting anymore and seems to be very comfortably off, and to be honest I cant think of anything worse than her attempting to act on stage

Tom and Rupert aren't in the same situation career wise, and possibly not financially either. Tom especially embraces the HP random so him doing it wasnt a surprise.

Re: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD 2021 Previews

We can sit here all day splitting hairs over the optics and how the legady of things has held up or not, but calling the books that inspired a vast majority of a generation to get back into literacy and reading sh*t feels a bit insane to me. I was around 10 when the first book came out - I vividly remember Rosie O'Donnell having the author on her show and singing it's praises which only continued when the book came out in the US.

I loved the boioks and despite everything she has done to tarnish her own image, I hold the memories of the books [and the films] for the magic it allowed me to feel as a kid.

Everyone's entitled to feel how they want about the books/ that woman and her as a person, but there's no denying the signficiant impact [in a good way] those books had on a generation.

And you should enjoy them and the memories they hold for you. Having another opinion is not "insane" though. And I acknowledge I'm in the minority of our generation that didn't absolutely love them.

Ps: I love your profile picture, Ali is such a doll.

Re: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD 2021 Previews

Absolutely and while we disagree, I fully support you having your own opinion. I guess what didn't come across in the original post was less calling your opinion insane and more the idea of the books being sh*t given the impact they had on our generation and many after the fact. Apologies if it that wasn't clearer.

Thank you! I've only met him in passing, but he seems like a gem.

Surprised Tom hasn't extended a final FINAL time that'd suspiciously run through Ruperts as well.

He doesn't seem to me to be the type to think so cold-heartedly about his career strategy. He just follows his heart. It wouldn't surprise me if he would indeed love to play Harry again. He just has a conscience, and knows the difference between right and wrong, so stays away.

I thought the same thing. I suspect ticket demand would be close to insane. But I also suspect Rupert will do quite well selling tickets on his own. JMO
