The 25 Best Harry Potter Characters 26 IMAGES

"Any project that the script is good for, I would be into," he told IGN during an interview while promoting his new TBS comedy series Miracle Workers. "I can completely understand why some directors would be hesitant about putting me into a franchise because I have a lot of baggage from another franchise, so I can see why that would make people not want to do that necessarily. But I would be very happy to."While we were discussing how quickly characters such as Spider-Man and Batman are being recast now , as well as the rise of huge TV franchises like Amazon's Lord of the Rings adaptation , Radcliffe mused that a reboot of Harry Potter is almost inevitable - whether that means a TV show or new adaptations of J.K. Rowling's books at some point."I’m sure there will be some other version of it; I know I’m not the last Harry Potter I’m gonna see in my lifetime - we’ve already got a few more," he pointed out, since Jamie Parker and Gareth Reeves have already played the role on stage in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child."It will be interesting to see how long those films stay… it feels like there’s a sacredness around them at the moment, but that’ll go, the shine will wear off at some point," he laughed. "It’ll be interesting if they reboot them and just do the films again or do a series; I’m fascinated to watch."In the meantime, Radcliffe continues to take creative swings in his work - his next role brings him to TV for anthology series Miracle Workers, where he plays a neurotic angel working in the Answered Prayers department of Heaven. Blockers' Geraldine Viswanathan plays his ambitious new coworker, Eliza, while Steve Buscemi is a hapless, potentially illiterate version of God, who is more interested in opening a restaurant than paying attention to Earth. The series is created by Man Seeking Woman's Simon Rich, based on Rich's novel What In God's Name?In Miracle Workers, Eliza makes a bet with God that she and Craig can answer an impossible prayer - to help two awkward humans fall in love - and if she fails, God will destroy the Earth and start fresh. (No pressure.) But one of the most interesting aspects of the series is that the show is structured as a self-contained story, and if the show is renewed for Season 2, Rich will create a new plot.For Radcliffe, the anthological nature of the series was a big selling point: "There was something exciting about the possibility of being able to commit to an American TV series but without playing the same character. If we are lucky enough to get a second [season], we’ll be playing different characters, different settings, all that, so for me that was a huge draw because essentially if we do get more than one [season] I just get to do a new Simon Rich piece every year, which is ideal."As for the theme of a potential second season, Radcliffe isn't sure, but he trusts in Rich's grand design. "I’m certain that he has a plan; he’s hinted at a time period for us but nothing really beyond that at the moment," he said. "I think the second [season] would not be based on a book, but Simon will still find some way of making the title of Miracle Workers thematically pertain to the show."Radcliffe also serves as an executive producer on the series alongside Buscemi, which he said gave him a new appreciation for the process. "I was involved in the production - I suppose I preexisted TBS and I was involved very, very early with the development of it and that allowed me to… Simon’s an amazing writer so it wasn’t like I felt like I had to give notes, but it’s like you have some say and involvement in the direction of the series overall, and particularly in casting," he revealed. "That was the other thing I really got into in terms of finding all these other people to play all these parts, which was really awesome and amazing and I’ve never had more respect for actors than watching them when you’re on the other side of the audition process. And to be honest, when filming started, I was just an actor."You can check out Radcliffe in TBS' Miracle Workers, which premieres Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 10:30 p.m. For more on Harry Potter, here's something we wish we didn't know about the Potter universe
