"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child "has been on Broadway for over a year and a half, but do not expect to see the original Harry in the audience.

The actor Daniel Radcliffe, who grew up before our eyes as a "boy who lived," said Wednesday in "Late Night with Seth Meyers" that he had asked a lot if he would participate in the piece in two parts.

"I always give a really boring and terrible answer," he told Meyers. "I'm probably not going to see it, I do not intend to do it, not because I think it would throw me into a kind of existential crisis like," Oh, that's this What happened? & # 39; "

The real reason? No cloak of invisibility.

It would not be "a restful night," said Radcliffe. "I feel that I would be monitored for my reaction, and maybe that's totally vain and selfish and that people do not care, but I really feel so I was just surrounded by fans of "Harry Potter", it would be a little strange. "

That's enough. If you were sitting next to Radcliffe, could you resist taking a look?

As for passing incognito, we guess that the actor does not have a Polyjuice potion or even a spell to change his appearance. A disguise?

"The problem with a disguise," said Radcliffe, "is that if it stops working, then you're just a guy who was wearing a disguise."

Well said.
