Daniel Radcliffe<\/a> is sending well wishes to Dominic McLaughlin<\/a>, who plays the title role in HBO<\/a>\u2018s upcoming \u201cHarry Potter<\/a>\u201d adaptation, but will likely sit out from watching the show.<\/p>\n

When asked by the Associated Press about watching the new take on the franchise that made him famous, Radcliffe said, \u201cI don\u2019t know if I will, honestly. I\u2019ve watched [and] been in a lot of \u2018Harry Potter\u2019 already. Also, I don\u2019t watch any TV. I haven\u2019t seen \u2018Breaking Bad\u2019; I haven\u2019t seen \u2018Mad Men\u2019; I haven\u2019t seen some of the real classics. So, you know. Eight hours is a lot of anything to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Radcliffe also kindly declined to offer 12-year-old McLaughlin any pointers about playing Harry. \u201cI\u2019m really, truly in the business of not giving Dominic advice,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s got it. He doesn\u2019t need any advice from me. If I say something to you, then the next interview people have with him, they\u2019ll be like, \u2018Oh, Dan said you should do this.\u2019 And I don\u2019t want to haunt this poor child through interviews. so I have no advice for him. He\u2019s gonna be amazing, and I hope that I will \u2014 I think I\u2019ll get to meet him someday and I\u2019m very excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Radcliffe and McLaughlin have exchanged words at least once. Last year, Radcliffe shared that he\u2019d written McLaughlin a letter<\/a>, and that the young actor sent \u201ca very sweet note back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to be a spectre in the life of these children but I just wanted to write to him to say, \u2018I hope you have the best time, and an even better time than I did \u2014 I had a great time, but I hope you have an even better time,\u2019\u201d Radcliffe said on \u201cGood Morning America.\u201d \u201cI just see these pictures of him and the other kids and I just want to hug them. They just seem so young. I just look at them and say, \u2018Oh, it\u2019s crazy I was doing that at that age.\u2019 But it\u2019s also incredibly sweet and I hope they\u2019re having a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Radcliffe became one of the most recognisable faces in the world when he played Harry Potter in eight wildly popular films released by Warner Bros. between 2001 to 2011. Since then, he\u2019s appeared in several Broadway productions, films and TV series. He can currently be seen in \u201cThe Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins\u201d on NBC opposite Tracy Morgan, and is in the voice cast of the animated film \u201cSteps,\u201d which drops on Netflix on Nov. 20.<\/p>\n
