Harry Potter director Chris Columbus has ruled out a reunion of the original cast in a Cursed Child movie adaptation.
The filmmaker - who helmed the first two movies in the wizarding saga - insists J.K. Rowling's controversial anti-transgender remarks have made it "impossible" for the likes of Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) to return to the iconic franchise.
