In a blog post on Blizzard's battle.net forums, Metzen thanked his Blizzard colleagues and explained that he's stepping away from the company he's worked for since he was 21 to focus on his family.

Following reports that Warner Bros. is looking to get Daniel Radcliffe back for another Harry Potter film, the actor has come forward to address whether he'd be up for reprising his iconic role as "the boy who lived."
