'Harry Potter' Star, 55, Wants to Be in Upcoming Reboot
Harry Potter star Warwick Davis, who played Griphook and Professor Filius Flitwick in the original films, says he'd like to appear in the upcoming Max reboot series.
While speaking to Entertainment Weekly on May 21, Davis said he has not been asked to film for the upcoming Harry Potter series. He said, however, that he would like to appear in the show if given the chance.
"It would be lovely to return to that magical place," said Davis to the publication.
He also shared that he is a fan of the franchise, created by J.K. Rowling, because of its messaging.
"I loved the Harry Potter stories. The whole concept of what Harry Potter stands for. So to see a whole new retelling of that story can only be a good thing," said Davis during the interview.
In addition, Davis said he has remained close to his Harry Potter co-star, Tom Felton, who famously played Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe) rival, Draco Malfoy.
"Tom introduced me to Twitter when we were on the movies and we just kept in touch ever since," said Davis.
He also noted that Felton recently "presented [him] with [his] BAFTA fellowship." The Willow actor described the experience as "really lovely."
"He gave me a lovely speech. So me and Tom are quite close," said Davis to the publication.
Davis discussed his time as a Harry Potter star during a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"What an amazing series of films to be involved with," said Davis in the interview.
He also said he enjoyed playing both Griphook and Professor Filius Flitwick in the final Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which premiered in 2011. He shared he liked filming Griphook's death scene.
"It's always lovely to have a scene death in a film. Fortunately for me, I was alive as the other character beyond that, so it was kind of a win-win," said the actor.
The upcoming Harry Potter reboot series does not yet have a release date.
