Harry Potter: Fan-Casting The Inevitable Cursed Child Movie
1. Charlie Cox As Harry Potter
Why He's Right For The Role
Harry is confident, headstrong and loyal, but he's also rather quiet and restrained, rarely losing his temper and often being humble to a fault.
Charlie Cox has shown he can be all those things; whether he's playing Daredevil, putting other people's safety before his own and always keeping his ego in check, or in The Theory Of Everything, as a kind widower providing support to Jane Hawking and her vulnerable family.
He'd need to lose a bit of muscle and drop the comb-over he regularly sports, but he's a proven leading man in possession of the right attributes to successfully play an older Harry.
Chances Of It Happening
Cox would be our dream Harry, but in reality, it's hard to see him accepting a role like this when he's so busy with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Season Three of Daredevil is coming and The Defenders will undoubtedly get more episodes, and then there are possible film appearances to consider.
He's incredibly busy and the sparse number of film roles he's accepted since being cast as Daredevil make it clear he's strapped for time.
