Daniel Radcliffe shared the two characters in “Harry Potter” that he wants to portray aside from the lead if the franchise were to have a reboot.

The 32-year-old actor revealed in an interview on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast this week that he wants to portray Sirius Black or Remus Lupin when asked about a hypothetical revival of the film series. The famous "Harry Potter" lead star loved those characters because of his experiences when he filmed with the actors who played them, Gary Oldman and David Thewlis, respectively.

"I would probably want to go with, like, Sirius [Black] or [Remus] Lupin," Radcliffe was quoted by Entertainment Tonight as saying. "Those were always the two characters that I was like, 'They're great.' And also, I'm obviously biased by my experience of filming those scenes with those people, and they're like some of my favorite memories. I thought those guys were really cool."

Meanwhile, his "Miracle Workers" co-stars Geraldine Viswanathan and Karan Soni, who were present during the interview, also shared the characters they want to portray in the hypothetical reboot.

"I want to play Hermoine. That's the character I related to the most," Soni said. On the other hand, Viswanathan picked Hagrid.

It wasn't the first time Radcliffe spoke fondly of his memories when he filmed with Oldman and Thewlis. According to him, their scenes were unforgettable for him because they made him realize something about him.

"I have really, really fond memories of all my scenes with Gary Oldman and David Thewlis," he told ET. "They were some of the first scenes on the third and the fifth film where I started to feel like I was a young man who was just starting to figure out what acting was, and they were pretty cool people to be around."

In his previous interview, Radcliffe shared his favorite scene that happened in the fourth film "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." It was when Harry competed in the Triwizard Tournament.

"They let me do the craziest stunt I was ever able to do. It was like a 40 foot fall down on a roof. I was on a wire, but I was properly in free fall. It was only there to catch me at the end. And I was absolutely terrified," Radcliffe said.

"I worked a lot with the stunt department by then, and they were like, 'You can do this. Do you want to try it?' And I said yes. But then I got up there and was absolutely terrified."
