The LA Times Hero Complex blog has posted a new interview with Daniel Radcliffe where he talks about the end of the Potter series and even about Pottermore (though he knows nothing about it). Read the full interview here!
Radcliffe has possessed — and been possessed by – the role of Potter for half his life, and right now he’s experiencing an intense jumble of emotions. ”It is bizarre; we’ve been talking about it for so long, and now it’s finally here.”

“Not particularly. I think that would be a bit odd [to play Harry again in the future],” said the actor, who celebrates his 22nd birthday the week after the eighth film opens. “I’d be very skeptical about that. First of all, I don’t think that she will” write another Potter installment, “and second of all, oh, I don’t know, the idea of going back to something after 10 or 20 years? At that point, I will have worked 20 years to establish a career outside of it, and at that point to go back to it would feel a little self-defeating.”
Perhaps, but Radcliffe is already wise enough to know that you can never really say never. There may be some magic moment when someone offers him a magic wand and the perfect script. “I could feel completely different at that time, but at this moment, it feels like it would be strange and not the way it would or should go.”
