"Why do it?" said Harris in an interview with The Independent. "I don’t understand. The films were fantastic – leave them alone." Jared Harris, like his father, is also an actor and is best known for starring in Mad Men and Chernobyl. Harris was also asked if he has any interest in reprising his father’s role and playing Dumbledore in the upcoming show, to which he simply replied: "No, thank you."
