Daniel Radcliffe’s Current Path & What Comes Next
Radcliffe’s path since leaving the Harry Potter world in 2011 has seen many turns. But a musical film of this quality will surely add a feather to his rich filmography. His next screen stop will not be another movie but a TV comedy called The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, starring Tracy Morgan. There is no sign, however, of Radcliffe returning to the Wizarding World, especially with Dominic McLaughlin stepping in as the new Harry for the upcoming HBO series.
