Lately the Tyla team's love of all things Harry Potter has sent us in search of Potter-inspired spa days, tours of the Slytherin common room and even a Harry Potter subscription box, perfect for Hogwarts nerds.
So it goes without saying that when we heard Daniel Radcliffe discussing the possibility of a Harry Potter reboot with IGN, we were ready to binge-watch the whole franchise all over again.
Any excuse, tbh.
Talking about the Potter movies in an interview with the American entertainment site, the actor said: "I'm sure there will be some other version of it.
"I know I'm not the last Harry Potter I'm gonna see in my lifetime."
"We've already got a few more," he added, referencing the stage actors Jamie Parker and Gareth Reeves who took on the world-famous role in the theatre production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Commenting on the legacy of the eight-film franchise - which spanned an entire decade of Daniel's career - the screen star said: "It will be interesting to see how long those films stay...
"It feels like there's a sacredness around them at the moment, but that'll go, the shine will wear off at some point."
On the subject of how the Potter movies might be reimagined, Daniel said: "It'll be interesting if they reboot them and just do the films again or do a series. I'm fascinated to watch."
Fans are likely to be split down the middle when it comes to the idea of a remake.
The thought of fresh wizarding content will send fans wild - but as Daniel says, the "sacredness" surrounding the adored franchise could make a successful reboot challenging.
Then again, given that Disney has been reimagining popular classics from its archive, we could easily see the same happen to Harry Potter.
Incredibly, it's coming up to ten years since the last HP movie hit our screens. Part 2 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was released in July 2011.
Is a decade long enough to wait for a reboot? Asking for a friend.
