Daniel Radcliffe has said he doesn't know if he is going to watch the new Harry Potter television series, as he "doesn't watch any TV."

The actor, 37, shot to fame as the lead in the film adaptations of the books by JK Rowling.

An upcoming HBO adaptation of the fantasy series stars Dominic McLaughlin as the title character.

Radcliffe told the Associated Press at the world premiere of Netflix's Steps in New York on Sunday (8 November) that McLaughlin doesn't need any advice from him, adding that he hoped to meet him in the future.

When asked if he would watch the series, Radcliffe answered: “I don't know if I will, honestly. I've watched I've, you know been in a lot of 'Harry Potter' already... I don't watch any TV... I haven't seen some of the, like the real classics."
