Radcliffe won't be reprising his role as Harry Potter in the near future

When asked at the Television Critics Association summer tour about the idea of resurrecting Potter in a new movie based on the short story, the 24 year-old actor said, "My inclination is to say no. I don't think it's a question that's even - not even hypothetical," via The Hollywood Reporter.

"I haven't read it yet, though I will," he confessed. "But my understanding is that it's a very short piece, not of itself worthy of adaptation to film."

"I think it is connected to Potter, but maybe not in the way everyone thinks," he said. "What it is, I played only one character for such a long time, I think there's a little bit of envy and desire to try as many different things as possible. Now that I'm in that position, I'm trying to while the getting is good."

Rowling's new story was written as a Daily Prophet article through the eyes of gossip columnist Rita Skeeter, detailing Harry, Ron and Hermione reuniting at the 2014 Quidditch World Cup, all aged 34.

But he still remains married to Hermione, who has achieved a "meteoric rise" to Deputy Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. They duo are parents to two children, Hugo and Rose.
