I wonder if they realized that they’d meandered into a culture war mine field. The Harry Potter books were extemely controversial.
Dan Radcliffe talks Equus & Harry Potter in radio interview

In it, Dan speaks about how much better the Equus production on Broadway is this year than the West End shows; how rarely he and Richard Griffiths worked together on the Harry Potter set compared to Equus; and his character Alan Strang and the relationship he has with his parents and horses. He mentions that after seeing a pantomime production of Aladdin at the age of five he wanted to be an actor, which he told his mother (who immediately said “no, you don’t”). When being cast for Harry Potter, Dan said that he first read lines two months before he was cast; he also expressed his and everyone else’s surprise at the film series’ success. Dan praises the American audience for their reaction and understanding of the play compared to the British viewers. In regards to the Equus on-stage seats, Dan states that he doesn’t acknowledge them during the play as they’re elevated twelve feet high, and therefore aren’t a distraction for him. The entire interview can be heard.
