Radcliffe spoke to Variety to discuss his Emmy nomination, during which he was asked about his thoughts on the upcoming Harry Potter series. Earlier this year, in April, HBO Max announced the development of a TV series based on J.K. Rowling’s beloved Harry Potter book series. The show aims to be a “faithful adaptation” and will introduce a fresh cast. It has been reported that the show has received a 10-year commitment, with multiple seasons planned for this reboot.

Speaking about the show, Radcliffe said that he was excited for it, and hopes that people will be less disappointed with it, as they were with the films for cutting chunks out of the books in the adaptations.

“I’m excited for it as a viewer. I’ll be able to enjoy it with everyone else possibly, with a slightly different perspective,” Radcliffe said. “It’s a nice thing that a whole new generation is going to get introduced to the stories in a new way. They’ll see it as a TV series, so they’ll probably have time to go into all the things. So for the people that were angry about things that were cut from the film, hopefully, they will finally be able to see the full version they wanted.”

According to reports, each season of the show will centre around one of the books from the Harry Potter series. It is also stated that J.K. Rowling herself will be deeply involved with the series, ensuring that the adaptation maintains faithfulness to the source material.
