The duo's views have very publicly contrasted ever since Daniel opposed and Tom supported JK Rowling, 60, in her vocal opposition to that gender identity is different from birth sex.

In 2020 Daniel joined a host of other Harry Potter stars in hitting out at the author's trans exclusionary views, while Tom has remained loyal to JK - insisting he is 'not affected or attuned' to the views of the creator.

JK has caused ructions around the world with her stance on Trans rights - which have led to her being branded a trans-exclusionary radical feminism (TERF). 

In 2020, Radcliffe released a statement through The Trevor Project, stating that transgender women are women and that any statement to the contrary 'erases the identity and dignity of transgender people'.

Tom meanwhile has remained on JK's side and kept his stance on her views guarded - something which has led to his remaining in the franchise.

Their reunion comes after Daniel recently shared his reaction to seeing photos of the cast members starring in the reboot TV show over a decade after he rose to fame playing the titular wizard.

The new series will star Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley.

Daniel shared his reaction to seeing the photos of the newcomers taking the baton to play the beloved characters in the series, which is slated for an early 2027 release date.

Speaking on behalf of some of his former costars, such as Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, he spoke about their experience with childhood fame and wanting to protect the young stars.

'We have all said, you know, you just see pictures of these kids and you just want to grab them and hug them,' he told People. 'That's the impulse that I think that we, mainly, all have.'

He revealed that he has been in touch with Rupert and Emma, and the trio have shared their thoughts about the new adaptation series set to be released in seven seasons for each of Rowling's books in the series. 

He said he and his former costars have discussed 'how surreal [it is] to watch people starting off on that journey, all those years later.'
