Harry Potter Auditions And How The Cast Landed The Role

I will miss Harry's world very much, welcome back to another video, fellow Potterheads, the

cast

of Harry Potter has spoken many times about how spectacular their 10 years on the set of the franchise were for them, but did you know that many of these actors were that close? To not get the part, most of the

cast

don't have the traditional audition story and you'll never believe how some of these actors got a

role

in the movie ready to hear the stories that ten year old Daniel had in the year 2000. He had no idea how much the Harry Potter producers wanted him for this

role

.

His father actually knew some of the filmmakers from having worked with them in his day job as a literary agent, which didn't stop them from rejecting her offers to have Daniel audition. In the early days, Harry Potter was supposed to be filmed in America and actors were asked to sign up for all the films at just 10 years old. You know, you would sign up for the whole series and it would all be filmed in America. Dan's parents. They thought it was too disturbing for his son's life. They didn't know what would happen, but then a trip to the theater changed and Daniel's parents took seeing the Harry Potter writers as a sign and voila, I don't believe in destiny. but fortunately, my parents did.

He went to an audition and found out that he had gotten the role while he was bathing to this day. Dan claims that it was luck and the fact that he loved what he was doing that got him the role of Dragon Egg. Yes, Rupert's audition story is a true testament to how similar he really is to Ron Weasley. He sent out not one but two audition tapes. He never heard back from the first one so he decided to make another one and take it to the next level with a wrap I thought he made a wrap of how he wanted to repay Rome which caught the attention of the casting department and after multiple

auditions

he was officially Ron Weasley something doesn't make sense in 2011 he even made the wrap listen hi there my name is rupert i hope you like this and don't think it sucks emma watson had almost no experience when she was cast in

the film's casting directors had visited schools in london looking for the perfect hermione who got my school an invitation to get 16 of us from school aged around 11.

They obviously loved her because they called her in for a proper audition, six more to be exact, and finally offered her the role. Emma still believes she got the role. because of her determination, even without experience, how her JK Rowling's Hermione also thought so, even if she originally mentioned that Emma was too pretty to play Hermione, shut up if Phil appears around the corner at any time. Now the topic of Matthew Lewis' Neville audition. With 100 dedication, he waited in line for about five hours with his mother at an open audition just to get the chance to showcase his talent.

He was a big Harry Potter fan and needed a role. He was very lucky to be on a project like that. but he was a big fan of the books, even after his mother tried to convince him to come home, he was determined to get to the front of the line and believe it or not, Tom Felton was not in the market to play Draco Malfoy . He originally auditioned. For both Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, he obviously didn't get those lead roles, but we're pretty sure that playing Draco was the perfect decision and Tom thinks he knows the exact point at which they knew he would be a great Malfoy. .

Throughout the audition he pretended that he was a fan of the books, so when the producers asked him what his favorite scene was, he had no choice but to lie, the guy next to me said something about Gringotts and Goblins. I was like, yeah, the producers must have done it. She took it as something very drastic and got the role of Ivana Lynch. Being in the Harry Potter franchise was destiny and you can't convince us otherwise, even before she auditioned for the role, she had been pen pals with J.K. Rowling, who encouraged her. to overcome her eating disorder, so when she found out there would be an open audition for Luna in London, she flew with her father and waited hours with thousands of other girls after being examined for her appearance.

Listen to what he told the casting agents and me. It was like she didn't choose me, okay, that's her choice, but she was wrong when they called the casting director to come during her audition, she knew things had gone well and she was right just three days later. I called her back for a second audition and the rest is history, we became good pen pals before she got the part. Bonnie Wright has her brother to thank for landing the role of Ginny Weasley. She was only nine years old at the time of Harry Potter casting. and her older brother was a big fan of the series so when he mentioned to her that she looked like Jenny she decided to read the books and fell completely in love after begging her mother to get her an audition for Jenny she got the role and here.

We're almost two decades later, I mean, I started when she was nine, I guess I don't know, I think you can still vividly remember a lot of it. James and Oliver also attended an open audition together and continued to be called upon until they

landed

. the role, but the funny thing is that they had no idea who would play which Weasley twin, so they had to prepare the first day without knowing it and after getting the scripts they finally decided it was time to ask the casting director, except that she I had no idea either. She eventually came back with an answer, but James and Oliver are convinced they decided who would play who on a whim.

Tom Felton wasn't the only one who had no idea what or who Harry Potter was. Devin Murray's Harry Potter audition took a pretty embarrassing turn. After being invited to a screen test for the first film, he walked straight past Daniel to director Chris Columbus and said hello Harry, nice to meet you, we're pretty sure Chris laughed considering he was later offered the role so as not to be dramatic. but it would probably be a crime against humanity if Helena Bottom Carter wasn't Bellatrix, but that was almost a reality. I investigated because I thought she didn't go as far as reading all the books, she wasn't the original. actress chosen for the role they originally brought in helen mcrory, but helen left the role after discovering that she was pregnant and they brought in helena the two ended up playing sisters helen mcrory was recast as narcissa malfoy in the last three films the original Dumbledore was played by the iconic richard harris before he sadly passed away, but we came so close to never seeing his version of Dumbledore that the producers offered him the role several times and each time they offered him more money, but Richard just didn't want to spend his golden years. working on a franchise, but eventually relented, we have to thank his granddaughter, who hilariously told her grandfather that she would never speak to him again if she didn't take on the role.

Alan Rickman was not the first choice for Snape Let. that sink in allen only came about after tim roth turned down the role to take on the hit planet of the apes at least it worked out for both of us we have to say we're so glad they decided to go the alan rickman route just look at how much he loved the franchise I really won't miss anything because he's been an extraordinarily well-rounded character to play Rae Finds originally thought that Voldemort simply wasn't his cup of tea he was a classically trained actor and could not see himself playing the character, but his sister talked some sense into him and we got the dark masterpiece that is Voldemort.

Honestly, his theatrical training made Voldemort much more dramatic and we love being the author of the series. J.K. Rowling, of course, had some names swirling in her mind when it came to casting and Robbie Coltrane was one of them. She chose him for the role of Hagrid and said he was the perfect choice. How could anyone argue with that? Luckily he agreed and loved his experience working on The Movies, I think they're great, it's a great feeling, Gary Oldman may have been the perfect straight-laced black guy, but his original reason for getting the role wasn't because he loved the franchise. , he simply needed the money to support his family, he needed the job. the honest answer, honestly, respect after getting the role and filming the prisoner of azkaban, he fell in love with the series along with his children, it's hard to believe that we were so close to getting a completely different

cast, it makes us even more happy That our favorite actors got the roles even if they were in very unconventional ways.
