As much as we were all delighted to see a new line-up of actors for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, in any HP fan's heart, there is only one Harry Potter, and that's Daniel Radcliffe.

We grew up along with the movie's actors and actresses, and no matter what other work Daniel, Rupert or Emma take on, they'll always be the world's smartest wizards to us.

Many A-listers tend to shy away from roles that made them famous, but in a recent interview with Radio Times, Dan said he'd be more than happy to step back into the role… Once the terms were right.

"It would depend on the script. The circumstances would have to be pretty extraordinary," he said.

"But then I am sure Harrison Ford said that with Han Solo, and look what happened there! So I am saying no for now, but leaving room to backtrack in the future."

That answer is practically a 'hell yes', right?!

We don't know about you, but if we were prepping for a prime-time television appearance as an 11-year-old the last person we'd want advice from is someone who appears to have a dead rodent on their head.

But you can't always get what you want as Daniel Radcliffe swiftly found out before his very first chatshow appearance a whopping 16 years ago.

While speaking to Seth Meyers this week, Daniel explained that while preparing to make his debut on American television all those years ago, he was accosted by the American billionaire who imparted some very questionable advice.

"It was my first time in New York and I was doing The Today Show," the actor explained. "I'd never been on live TV before and just terrifed."

Remembering being 'marched' over to meet Mr. Trump, Daniel continued: "He was like 'How are you?' and I was like 'I'm really nervous. I don't know what I'm going to talk about on the show. And he said 'You just tell them you met Mr. Trump."

Clearly lolling at that aspiring president's attitude, Daniel joked: "To this day I can't even relate to that level of confidence. Imagine if I said to Billy 'Just talk about me when you do your interview. I'm interesting enough to be everyone's story'."

Daniel's memory of the moment is adorbs!

Last week after the Orlando shootings, author JK Rowling took to Twitter to express her grief at learning Harry Potter worker Luis Vielma had been killed in the attack at Pulse nightclub.

At the time the author was praised for the compassion she showed towards 22-year-old Luis and his family but according to People the Harry Potter creator did more than just send a tweet.

JK Rowling also sent a wreath of red roses and carnations to the deceased’s friends and family with a handwritten note attached which said: “To Luis, who died for love…You will never be forgotten.”

A friend of Luis, Alma Almaraz Retana told BuzzFeed: “It was a beautiful gesture to see JK tweet about him…and when I walked in to church and saw the beautiful flowers that she has sent I knew he was in heaven dancing of happiness.”

Luis worked at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios while also studying to become a physical therapist.

According to his obituary: "Luis loved Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and science fiction."

"He loved being able to go and be part of that every day he worked.  There was no greater experience for him at this time." 

This is not the first time the British writer has offered her support to those affected by extreme violence.

In 2014, she sent a letter from Albus Dumbledore to Texas shooting survivor Cassidy Stay who lost her parents and siblings in the attack.

Since the Orlando gun attack on Saturday night, people around the world have been expressing their shock, grief and condolences online.

Now, author JK Rowling has shared her devastation over the death of Luis Vielma – a 22-year-old victim who worked on the Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios.

The British novelist tweeted: “Luis Vielma worked on the Harry Potter ride at Universal.  He was 22 years old.  I can’t stop crying. #Orlando.”

A colleague of Luis then tweeted the author letting her know that Luis was a Gryffindor and that another Universal staff member is still in intensive care after the attack which left 50 people dead and 53 injured.

The message read: “I worked with Luis he was a gryffindor who would make you proud.  We have a slytherin who’s still in icu.  His name is Tony.”

The Harry Potter creator responded by saying: “I’m praying Tony pulls through.  My thoughts are with all of you #LoveIsLove #Orlando."

 

Harry Potter fans are now showing their solidarity with victims of the attack by sharing quotes and images online accompanied by the hashtag Orlando.

So, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione and their children have all been revealed, and now it's time to see what Draco Malfoy looks like in today's world.

The slow reveal of the cast has us super excited for the upcoming debut of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, as it takes place 19 years after the events of the Deathly Hallows.

We never knew Draco had a son, until now, and he's everything we imagined he would be, with white blonde hair and a rather evil stare.

Here you go, guys! What do you think of the Malfoys?

Yesterday, the Potter family were introduced to us on Twitter, ahead of The Cursed Child's upcoming release.

But now, the people we have all been waiting on (because let's be honest, Ron and Hermione's love story was SO much better than Harry's) have finally shown what their future selves look like.

Pottermore released photos this afternoon of an aged Ron, Hermione and even their daughter, Rose.

Paul Thornley will play Ron in the theatre-version of the new book, and Noma Dumezweni will proudly take on Hermione's role.

Rose Granger-Weasley looks just as cheeky as her father and as smart as her mother! We LOVE!

The craze of Harry Potter is not yet over – not by a long shot. JK Rowling even revealed last week that her eighth HP book, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a total tear-jearker.

But something that might bring a little tear to your eye (kinda) is the photos that Pottermore has released of Harry and his family in today's world.

With the Cursed Child set to debut on July 30 (JK Rowling and Harry's birthday FYI), the fan website released a family portrait of Harry, Ginny and their son, Albus to give HP followers a little taste of what's to come.

And even though they're not the same as the flash-forward in the last film, the family still look on point and as we always imaged.

We're getting excited to enter the world of Harry Potter again!

It seems that JK Rowling is never going to be finished surprising us with new Harry Potter material.

Last February, the author revealed that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be making its way to bookshelves this July. And on top if that, fans are eagerly awaiting the play version which will hit London around the same time.

But now JK's publishing and entertainment company, Pottermore have announced some even better news.

On November 19 fans of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be able to own their very own screenplay of the movie.

The book is due for release the day AFTER the movie's November 18 premiere so anyone totally in love with the flick can keep up with Newt Scamander both on and off screen.

Can we love JK anymore than we do now?!

We all remember him as Draco Malfoy's aide Gregory Goyle in the Harry Potter series, but now the actor has taken on a different career.

Josh Herdman looked completely different as he made his debut in the fighting ring this week; winning his first match against Polish fighter Janusz Walachowski in London.

The 28-year-old actor starred in all eight films but now trains in mixed martial arts. 

He told The Mirror: “I’ve been training traditional Japanese jujitsu for nearly five years and hold a shodan black belt."

“It’s raw, exciting and unpredictable. I find it more interesting than boxing although I appreciate the beauty and art in boxing. It also made sense to move onto MMA because of my jujitsu training.”

However, the former HP star also admitted that he hasn't given up on acting just yet.

“I haven’t fallen out of love with it, I still have an agent and still go for auditions. It’s just a little bit like playing the lottery for a living.

“I don’t see it so much as a career change, I am passionate about both acting and fighting," he added.

Every Harry Potter fan dreams about entering the wizarding world and going behind-the-scenes of the film.

And for the most part, Warner Bros Studios in London is making that happen with opening up the Great Hall for special dinners.

But now, the studio is letting you in where nobody has gone before – 4 Pivet Drive.

Yep, Harry's muggle home is open to the public for the first time ever. For one week only, fans will get a glimpse into Harry's childhood, where he lived in a cupboard under the stairs.

And, the studios have even recreated the famous scene when Harry receives his Hogwarts letter, with hundreds of envelopes hanging from the ceiling.

The exhibition wil be open from May 27 to June 6 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It's OK, we're feeling old too.

It seems that Harry Potter fans are more against each other than Gryffindor and Slytherin. Some fans went mental yesterday when JK Rowling revealed who her favourite character was in the book.

One fan asked the author who she liked the best (apart from Harry, obvz) and she replied, Dumbledore.

We love Dumbledore, he practically took Harry under his wing and saved him countless times. And yes, it was heartbreaking when he died in the arms of Severus Snape (even though we knew he was going to die because he was wearing a cursed ring).

Put all that together, along with some angry fans (who really hold a grudge) and JK Rowling was bombarded with disgust: 

You can't please everyone!

Irish Harry Potter star Devon Murray has been ordered by a judge to pay €260,000 in commission fees to his former agent.

It was heard in the High Court yesterday that the actor made more than €1 million for his work in the wizarding flick and he apparently spent it on drinks, cars and girls.

“It wasn’t all women, cars and drink,” Devon told the Independent.

According to the site, the actor said he was ”gutted but there’s not a lot we can do now” after the judge ruled.
