Guillermo del Toro doesn’t have many regrets, but he does regret turning down the opportunity to direct a Harry Potter film.
There could still be a chance for del Toro to direct a film in the Harry Potter universe as the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film series will feature five films in total.
“They came to me once, for the third one,” del Toro told MTV in 2007.
One member of the audience asked, “I remember you said that you don’t lie awake sleepless about movies that you didn’t end up doing” but del Toro interjected to say, “the only one is Harry Potter, and then, I lay there and go ‘oh f**k.'”
