Both artists stressed that the new generation has a chance to gain a unique experience, and their letters are a kind of «passing the baton».

According to him, watching the renewal of iconic roles is «a strange but very warm feeling».

A message from Daniel Radcliffe

The Harry Potter actor noted that the new actor «should not be afraid of the pressure of the legendary role». He emphasised that the most important thing is to keep the love for the process and allow your own interpretation of the character to unfold naturally.
Radcliffe wished the young man «to get even more joy from the role than he did».
