Sounds like Daniel Radcliffe is looking to dabble in the dark arts.
The actor who helped bring the “Harry Potter” books to life on-screen in the early 2000s reminisced about his roles. So actually in an upcoming installment of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast.
Radcliffe, 32, joined host Josh Horowitz along with his current co-stars on TBS’s “Miracle Workers”. Including Karan Soni and Geraldine Viswanathan.
In the third season of the anthology comedy series. Radcliffe’s Reverend Ezekiel Brown makes a hapless journey on the legendary Oregon Trail. A role very different from the British actor’s turn as a half-blood wizard at Hogwarts.
But if the Harry Potter franchise were to reboot a concept that’s nowhere near becoming a reality. Radcliffe joked he’d want an even greater departure from his original role still.
“I would probably want to go with like, Sirius [Black] or [Remus] Lupin,” Radcliffe told podcast host Josh Horowitz, according to PopCulture.com
. “Those were always the two characters that I was like, ‘They’re great.’ ”
It was Academy Award winner Gary Oldman who played the vicious Sirius Black. And David Thewlis (“Fargo”, “Big Mouth”) as well as fellow Marauder Remus Lupin, making multiple appearances throughout the films.
Radcliffe added, “And also like, I’m obviously biased by my experience of filming those scenes. With those people, and they’re like some of my favorite memories.”
For their parts, his “Miracle Workers” co-stars offered their own fantasy roles in a hypothetical “Harry Potter” reboot — with Soni selecting fellow nerd Hermione Granger because he “related to [her] the most,” and so Viswanathan choosing Hagrid based on their shared love of animals.
HBO Max and Warner Bros. However, squashed rumors that a “Harry Potter” TV series was in development, telling The Post in a statement. “There are no ‘Harry Potter’ series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform.”
