There’s a certain amount of pressure on Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway, but Radcliffe revealed why he hasn’t and likely won’t.

“It would not be a relaxing evening at the theater,” Radcliffe told Seth Meyers on Late Night. “I feel like I would be being watched for my reaction.”

The script was released in conjunction with the original West End production, so Harry Potter fans the world over could read the new installment if they so chose. It was a new tale springing from the minds of J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, which was turned into a script by Thorne.
