Daniel Radcliffe has admitted he is unlikely to watch HBO’s forthcoming Harry Potter television adaptation, having already spent a decade in the wizarding world
The actor, who played Harry from 2001 to 2011, said he has plenty of acclaimed programmes to catch up with first and rarely watches television
He has also urged fans not to compare the new child stars with the original cast, arguing they should be allowed to establish their own version of the characters without former actors becoming a shadow over the production
The series is due to premiere on Christmas Day.
