Who is cute enough to replace this lot?
It comes to something when a fantastically successful film series, one which only ended a few months back, and contains a pretty much perfect translation from book to screen, should already be the topic of rumours of a reboot.
And yet, in conversation with the British radio host Dave Gorman this week, Daniel Radcliffe admits that he’s fairly sure the films will be remade at some point, and while he finds the idea upsetting, he’s already marked out a possible role for himself if they are.
He said: “I’ve been kind of thinking who I’d like to play in the inevitable remakes, and I’ve decided I’d quite like to play James Potter. Just play my dad, nice two or three days work, you know. Yeah, that would be nice.”
But the trouble with reboots is they often take liberties with the original ideas, leaving fans confused and angry.
Daniel explained: “I didn’t mind the Clash of the Titans movie, you know… but the thing that annoyed me was that Pegasus was black.
It’s like ‘Why? Why?’ ‘Just change the colour just ‘cos, just because we can, because it’s a remake and it’s new, let’s change the colour’. It’s Pegasus, he’s supposed to be white, he’s always white.”
He continued: “I know that that will happen with Potter and it’ll be like, I don’t know, Hagrid will be a skinhead and it’ll all just be weird.”
Hollywood, you had better not be reading this…

I agree with you about reboots. But, if it is as popular and well
done then it will propel 3 new young stars plus other cast members
to fame.
Jo won’t let them do remakes unless she can veto certain decisions and have a role in production like she did with this series. I think the remakes could potentially be better because instead of making the films while Jo was writing the books, and therefore not really knowing the end result and what is truly important, film makers will have the whole story to go off of with a known conclusion.
At any rate, I’m glad Dan Rad has marked himself for James. It’s perfect (not to mention helluvalot better than the choice the used in these films).
I think it would be interesting for them to do one of Harry’s children with Harry all grown up.
PLEASE ! Don’t mess with Perfection !!!
I don’t think that they schould do a remake of any of the movies.But yes I do think it would be intresting if they did one with harry potter’s kids and he was all grownup!PLEASE DON’T REMAKE THEM!By the waydraco Malfoy is way hot,make sure if you do remake these movies that he’s in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
