Actor Daniel Radcliffe has revealed he will not be a part of the upcoming spin-off "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
The 25-year-old "Women in Black" star, who is excited about JK Rowling's new project, said he would not reprise his role as Harry Potter, reported Aceshowbiz.
"I still get people saying, 'Are there going to be any more movies?' And now I can say, 'There are actually are.' But I'm not going to be in them. And they're like, 'Oh sorry,' and I'm like, 'They're set in the past. Don't worry about it!'"
Radcliffe said being in all eight of original "Harry Potter" film series was enough for him, however, he would never get sick of Harry.
"Yeah, eight was cool. I don't mind talking about (Harry Potter). I would be crazy if I minded talking about it," he said.
Radcliffe revealed "Fantastic Beasts", starring Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Ezra Miller, Alison Sudol and Dan Fogler would start filming "soon."
The film is slated for a November 18, 2016 release.
