Radcliffe as Sirius, Snape or Lupin?

Maybe? Radcliffe is so well-known as the Harry Potter that:

  1. He might not be interested
  2. It might be distracting to have him in the series for anything other than a minor cameo

I definitely agree that they should go with younger actors for Snape and the Marauders this time around though.

Oh I don't know. I don't think he'd actually do it, or even be cast, but I do think Daniel himself might find it interesting an idea to get to play "the other side" of some of those story lines.

But yes, it would be distracting for him to be there.

Definitely. Alan Rickman was 54 in the first potter, and 64 in the last, when the character of Snape was like 32 when Harry was first year. And because movie Snape was so much older, it really fucked me when I turned 32 and realised I was "Snape's age", because my mental image was of a 54 year old Alan Rickman.
