15 Predictions For 2016 Movies That Everybody Got Wrong
5. Harry Potter Framing Device - Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
Daniel Radcliffe has done a good job of landing roles outside of the Harry Potter franchise, and put subtle distance between himself and the character. It will always follow him of course, but it’s gotten to the point where an audience can easily accept him playing someone else.
When Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them was announced it was naturally assumed Radcliffe wouldn’t take part since Harry wasn’t born at this point. This didn’t stop mega-fans predicting he could appear in a modern-day framing device - think The Hobbit - where Harry could be discussing the events of the past.
Radcliffe himself adamantly denied it and ruled himself out of appearing in any of Fantastic Beasts movies. He was telling the truth because Harry is nowhere to be found.
