The casting process of the "Golden Triangle" Harry, Ron and Hermione in the movie "Harry Potter" is believed to be too familiar to Fans.
So, how were other actors selected by the filmmakers to star in this big IP? Let's take a look at it today.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >1, Richard Harris rejected Dumbledore three times</h1>
Dumbledore's casting in the first two films is very much in line with the image of the amiable and old-fashioned headmaster in the minds of most fans.
But Richard Harris, when he received the offer, repeatedly declined. When his granddaughter Ella heard the news, she "sternly warned" Grandpa that if he didn't play Dumbledore, she would never speak to him.
As a result, Richard Harris, the granddaughter slave, had to "obediently" take over the role. Sadly, he died of Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2002 at the age of 72.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" >2, Alan Rickman was not Snape's first choice</h1>
When Alan Rickman starred in Harry Potter, although there was a slight gap in age with Snape, he played the role and made countless Fans fall in love with him and fall in love with Snape.
But the actor the filmmakers picked for Snape at the beginning was Tim Rose. At that time, he became a first-line movie star in Hollywood because he starred in a series of movies directed by Quentin and the male protagonist of the classic movie "The Pianist of the Sea".
However, because "Philosopher's Stone" collided with the shooting schedule of another big investment movie, Planet of the Apes, Tim Rose, after consideration, finally chose the latter and abandoned Professor Snape. Thus, there was an Alan Rickman version of Snape.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" >3, Fiennes was hesitant to play Voldemort</h1>
Ralph Fiennes is the typical Shakespearean theatrical actor, which makes him prefer mature, serious roles when choosing scripts.
When he received an offer from Voldemort in the Goblet of Fire, he hesitated to take over the role. The last person to make him up for the contract was his sister Martha, and Martha's three children.
In an interview with The Jonathan Ross Show, Fiennes mentioned that his sister said to him, "What do you mean?" You have to take on this role." Thus, with the "assist" of his family, one of the most famous villains in the history of film was born.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" >4, Gary Oldman played Sirius for money</h1>
Harry's godfather Sirius, although there are not too many scenes in the movie, his popularity is definitely among the best in the supporting roles, in addition to sirius's own role charm, the wonderful performance of the movie emperor Gary Oldman is also indispensable.
But the reason why Oldman took over this role is not because he likes the original book, or values its influence as a big IP, his reason is very simple and very grounded, that is, "money".
At that time, his career was at its lowest ebb, he had not worked for several years, and he had children to take care of at home, and he needed to play Sirius to "support his family".
After playing Sirius, Oldman's career also got back on track and opened the second spring, and later won the Oscar.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" >5, Helena replaced another Helen as Bella Cretes</h1>
Helena Bonham Carter is particularly good at playing roles that are a bit neurotic. In this way, Bella Crettus is none other than her.
However, when the filmmakers were looking for actors for BellaCretes, the most optimistic was Helen McCrory. But McCloll was pregnant at the time, and the month was so large that it was obvious that she was pregnant.
At first, the filmmakers planned to still invite McCloll to play Bella Cretes, and then later thinned her figure. But after consideration, the decision to change corners was finally made.
Obviously, the filmmakers are very fond of Helen McLaughery, and when casting Draco's mother, they chose McCloller for the first time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" >6, And Roby Courtrani is Rowling's preferred actor</h1>
Although Rowling set a mandatory requirement for the film to have actors from the United Kingdom, in fact, as the original author, she did not have much say in the casting of the film, but listed a list of her ideal cast list for the filmmaker's reference, and the first in line was Roby Kotrani.
When The Philosopher's Stone was released in 2001, Rowling spoke in an interview about her choice of Robbie Courtrani.
"Robbie is the perfect person to play Hagrid. Because Hagrid is a character who has love in his heart, is liked, and is very funny. I think Robbie's performance was perfect. ”
