If you’ve been missing the original cast of Harry Potter, you might be in some luck! Chris Columbus, who directed the first two Harry Potter movies, has expressed wishes to unite the original trio for a Cursed Child movie. With 10 years since the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, it’s been a decade since Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint took on the mantles of Harry, Hermione and Ron.
With Fantastic Beasts already up and running, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was a massive hit on Broadway and the West End, with millions in tickets sold and earning critical acclaim. During an interview, Columbus was asked whether there’d be any more films in the same universe. ‘I would love to direct The Cursed Child. It’s a great play and the kids are actually the right age to play those roles. It’s a small fantasy of mine’ he revealed.
The play takes place 19 years after the events of the final book, seeing the trio joined by a brave new generation coming into Hogwarts. However, whether the actors wish to return or not is still up in the air. Radcliffe expressed his concerns about not being old enough, whereas Grint can’t imagine it. Watson said she had no plans to reprise Hermione, so it seems as though it might remain a ‘small fantasy’ for Columbus. Only time will tell!
