Warner Bros had announced they are planning a ‘Harry Potter‘ show, which will be “faithful adaptation” of J.K. Rowling’s seven novels.
The ‘Guns Akimbo‘ star, in an interview with an American news agency Deadline, said he expected a different actor to essay the character in the franchise.
“I think it’s like Harry Potter was always destined to become like Sherlock Holmes,” he said. “The people that saw Basil Rathbone play Sherlock Holmes then like ‘No one could ever do this!’ They’re gonna, though. It’ll get passed on to somebody.”
