Harry Potter actors will be asked about their roles in the movies for their entire lives. Jason Issacs was recently asked about the upcoming Harry Potter reboot, to which he quipped that he’d like to play Hermione. He also revealed that he had originally auditioned to play the role of Gilderoy Lockhart and was frustrated when he was asked to read for Lucius Malfoy instead. He was already about to play one of the most iconic childhood villains, Captain Hook, in Peter Pan (2003) and didn’t want to play two similar villains back to back. 

If I were Jason Issacs, I would probably get pretty sick of people asking me if I would return to Harry Potter for the TV show to do a million-dollar cameo as Nearly Headless Nick. While the actors have moved on, most of us fans haven’t, so allow yourself to indulge in these Harry Potter memes.
