The staggering magical franchise, Harry Potter fabled Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson are two of the most desirable Hollywood male actors to date. While one boasts the title of Harry Potter, the other is no less. He has taken on the mantle of DCEU’s The Batman (a darker take on the cape crusader) and previously stolen audiences’ hearts with the titular role of favourite vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga.
The upcoming nostalgic venture of Warner Bros., Harry Potter Reunion is gaining buzz, in the meanwhile, there is more the audience wants to dig in. ‘The boy who lived’ has finally let the cat out of the bag about the brewing awkward chemistry between him and his HP mates. And let us tell you, it is shattering.
An odd dynamic
Radcliffe recently interviewed with ScreenRant, on being questioned about his dynamics with his co-stars, he says, “literally the first, I was in New York about to do Equus, and I was on the Westside Highway and I turned around and saw this billboard and I was like, ‘What, I know that guy!’ I hadn’t heard of the Twilight books at the time; I hadn’t been aware of that phenomenon.” He further adds,
And so yeah, it’s odd. We have a very strange relationship now where we basically only communicate through journalists. We haven’t seen each other in ages. Because everyone assumes we’re kind of great mates, but I’ve met him, he’s a lovely guy when I worked with him.
Robert Pattinson kicked off his acting career in 2005 with the fourth iteration of the franchise, Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, with the character named Cedric Diggory. Whereas Daniel debuted way back in 1999 in BBC’s David Copperfield. Both the actors being part of two big franchises have travelled different routes to reach the pinnacle of fame. As they drift apart, all we hope for them is to reunite.
Will Return to Hogwarts bring them together?
The upcoming reunion show does project no official confirmation for the same. Assuming some details are kept under wraps, who knows, will the coming Reunion show of magical world turn the wheels of time and do wonders?
