Daniel Radcliffe is sending well wishes to Dominic McLaughlin, who plays the title role in HBO‘s upcoming “Harry Potter” adaptation, but will likely sit out from watching the show.
\n\nWhen asked by the Associated Press about watching the new take on the franchise that made him famous, Radcliffe said, “I don’t know if I will, honestly. I’ve watched [and] been in a lot of ‘Harry Potter’ already. Also, I don’t watch any TV. I haven’t seen ‘Breaking Bad’; I haven’t seen ‘Mad Men’; I haven’t seen some of the real classics. So, you know. Eight hours is a lot of anything to watch.”
\n\nRadcliffe also kindly declined to offer 12-year-old McLaughlin any pointers about playing Harry. “I’m really, truly in the business of not giving Dominic advice,” he said. “He’s got it. He doesn’t need any advice from me. If I say something to you, then the next interview people have with him, they’ll be like, ‘Oh, Dan said you should do this.’ And I don’t want to haunt this poor child through interviews. so I have no advice for him. He’s gonna be amazing, and I hope that I will — I think I’ll get to meet him someday…
