“It’s never going to happen,” Columbus said when asked about directing another “Harry Potter” film. “It’s gotten so complicated with all the political stuff. Everyone in the cast has their own opinion, which is different from [Rowling’s] opinion, which makes it impossible.”
Columbus explained that he and Rowling don’t speak, but added he stays in contact with franchise stars like Daniel Radcliffe.
“I haven’t spoken to Miss Rowling in a decade or so, so I have no idea what’s going on with her, but I keep very close contact with Daniel Radcliffe, and I just spoke to him a few days ago,” he said. “I still have a great relationship with all the kids in the cast.”
