Former Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe does not plan on returning to role for reunion film

Mar 19 2022

Harry Potter fans around the world have had their hearts broken after the film star stated that he does not consider reprising his role as the boy wizard any time soon.

The 32-year-old actor recently took part in an HBO Max reunion special, but does not consider returning to the original role amid rumours of a ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ adaptation. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone director Chris Columbus stated that reuniting the old cast would be ‘cinematic bliss’ akin to what J.J. Abrams did with Star Wars years later.

Radcliffe stated that such a role isn’t something he is interested in doing right now and, while not being the answer that anybody wants, going back to it would be a massive change in his life.

Net News alleging Robert Abela promised Castaldi Paris Speaker role for not contesting election

Mar 19 2022

As the March 26 election approaches and political turmoil begins to unfold, Nationalist media Net News have published an article stating that Prime Minister & Labour leader Robert Abela promised Ian Castaldi Paris a Speaker role if he doesn’t contest the election.

Back in December, it was revealed that the Labour MP had to pay €300,000 in fines and taxes following an in-depth tax probe. The PN news platform claimed that Abela ‘lost control of the situation’, stating that putting Castaldi Paris in the speaking role would not only give him more control in his parliamentary group but within Malta’s parliament.

The Speaker of the House is appointed to maintain order during parliamentary sittings and see that all rules are respected. The speaker may also give rulings in the event of arising issue and while not having a vote, has a casting vote in the event of a tie.
