After the successful award-winning run of the sixth season of "Game of Thrones," ("GOT") HBO is currently prepping for next year's seventh season. "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe expressed his interest in playing a role in the show and what he thought could happen to his character.

In an interview with Digital Spy, he talked about his current place in the industry and how he has a lot of free time right now. He said, "I've recently read a couple of really good TV pilot scripts... But then it's signing on for seven years. Right now, I have a little bit of freedom. So if I read a script for something that's filming next year, I don't have to turn it down because I'm not available — which I did, for a long time."

When the topic went to TV shows, he was asked whether he would consider working on "Game of Thrones," to which he said, "I would love to. If they want to just bring me in and f**king kill me, I would be so happy to do that."

When HBO brought in star Ian McShane, he died in the very same episode that he was introduced. Thus, having Radcliffe appear and die in one episode could very well be in the books for the show. Interestingly enough, "Harry Potter" actor Jim Broadbent has been cast for the seventh season of "GoT" and some speculated that he will play one of the Grand Maesters in the citadel where Sam (John Bradley-West) went off to study.

Some fans pointed out that the show may hold back on casting Radcliffe on the show because he would draw too much attention with his fame as the lead star of the "Harry Potter" films. But then again, "GoT" has cast some very high profile actors before and they seemed to fit their roles perfectly.

"Game of Thrones" season 7 comes out next year.
