Daniel Radcliffe, who became a household name as the original Harry Potter, knows a thing or two about the magic and madness of stepping into such an iconic role.

Radcliffe shared that he wrote a touching letter to McLaughlin, expressing his hopes for the young actor's journey. "I wrote to Dominic. I sent him a letter, and he sent me a very sweet note back," Radcliffe fondly recalled. "I just wanted to write to him to say, 'I hope you have the best time, and an even better time than I did. I had a great time, but I hope you have an even better time.'"

"I just see these pictures of him and the other kids, and I just want to hug them. They just seem so young. I just look at them and say, 'Oh, it's crazy I was doing that at that age.' But it's also incredibly sweet, and I hope they're having a great time." – Daniel Radcliffe
