“I hope you have the best time.”
The Boy Who Lived is ensuring the next boy to wear the lightning scar feels supported.
Daniel Radcliffe has revealed he personally wrote a letter to Dominic McLaughlin, the young actor cast as Harry Potter in HBO’s upcoming television series.
Radcliffe, who defined the role for a generation across eight films, shared the heartfelt gesture on Good Morning America.
He explained that while he doesn’t want to be a looming “spectre” in the new cast’s lives, he felt compelled to reach out.
“I wrote to Dominic and sent him a letter and he sent me a very sweet note back,” Radcliffe said.
His message was simple and supportive: “I hope you have the best time, and an even better time than I did.”
Seeing photos of the new, young trio, Radcliffe reflected on his own journey with a sense of awe and protectiveness, hoping they are having a “great time” navigating the magical world he knows so well.
