Macaulay Culkin asks Rowling to cast him

Los Angeles: Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin wants to be part of J K Rowling's Harry Potter universe. The 38-year-old actor, tweeted at Rowling recently, to see if he could land a role in one of her next films.

Culkin began by defending Rowling's choice to cast a well-known snake in the Harry Potter books as an Asian woman in the upcoming Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, a choice some fans called "racist".

"Hey @jk_rowling I'm with you! Nagini can be whatever she wants to be! She's a strong woman/snake," Culkin tweeted.

"Also, can you write me into the next movie? I'm Macaulay Culkin (From Home Alone: The Movie) and I was also a Pagemaster (experienced with magic)" he added.

The actor also reached out to actor Dan Fogler to recommend him to Rowling.
