Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the Deauville Film Festival, Radcliffe said, "I'm never going to close the door; that would be a stupid thing to do."That said, he went on to note that he'd be "happy enough and secure enough to let someone else play it" in the event Warner Bros. found another actor to star as Potter in the rumored adaptation of J.K. Rowling's new stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.The role calls for a much older Harry, so "it's not even a concern" for Radcliffe at the moment, as he's too young to play Harry as he is in Cursed Child. He added that "even in 10 years' time I would feel strange about going back to it."The Harry Potter star went on to suggest the franchise could come back in a way similar to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, saying that while he believes "some things are better left untouched," it's possible they could do the franchise justice by returning to it. He jokingly highlighted the fact that "there’s also the chance that we’d make Phantom Menace," before adding that he doesn't want to potentially "sour what people have already loved."The world of Harry Potter will return to theaters this fall, however, with the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on November 18.
