Daniel Radcliffe further recalled the moment when the producer told him to maintain the Harry Potter hairstyle until they finish working on the final movie, he said, “We’re like, ‘No, no, no, no, no. You’re not leaving us like this? We’re supposed to be becoming teenagers and dating girls in this film! That’s not what it’s going to be, is it?’ So, I think we were pretty devastated as we realized that it was.”
Meanwhile, the only person missing from the reunion will be J.K. Rowling, the author of the books on which the films were based. Rowling has been under attack for remarks she had made about the trans community.
