LONDON: International sensation Daniel Radcliffe, who made his way into the industry by portraying the role of "Harry Potter", doesn't want to be associated with that character anymore! The actor has signed and been part of various projects ever since the worldwide franchise ended in the year 2011. He has finally revealed the reason for not playing that part anytime soon.
The actor was asked whether fans would get to see him be part of the 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", another franchise based on the Harry Potter universe by J.K Rowling. The actor answered, "I don't think so. I don't like to say no to things, but it's not something that I'm rushing to do. I feel like those films have moved on and they're doing just fine without us. I'm happy to keep it that way."

I'm not saying that I'll never go back into any franchise, but I like the flexibility that I have with my career now. And I don't want to get into a situation where I'm signed up for one series for years in advance."
Radcliffe was a part of the franchise for 10 years and reprised his role for all the 8 films.
