"Nobody has said anything to me about ... revitalizing the films, so I don't know," Radcliffe told Reuters in LondonFriday.

"It's not something I think I'd be interested in, and also if they do it now I feel they should just cast the people from the play," said Radcliffe, who was just 11 years old when he was cast as Potter.

Radcliffe was in London to open a three-day entertainment festival of films and family activities, including screenings of his two most recent indie movies Swiss Army Manand Imperium.
