The casting process of Harry, Ron and Hermione in the movie "Golden Triangle" in "Harry Potter", I believe Harry fans are already too familiar with it.
So, how were other actors selected by the film crew to play this big IP? Let's learn about it today.
1. Richard Harris refused to play Dumbledore's casting three times
, which is very consistent with the affable and mature principal image in the minds of most book fans.
But Richard Harris refused again and again when he received the invitation. After hearing the news, his granddaughter Ella "sternly warned" his grandfather that if he did not play Dumbledore, he would never talk to him.
As a result, Richard Harris, the granddaughter slave, had to "behave" to take on the role. But unfortunately, he died of Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2002 at the age of 72.
2. Alan Rickman is not Snape's first choice
When Alan Rickman starred in "Harry Potter", although his age was a little different from Snape, he played this role alive, making countless Harry fans fall in love with him and Snape.
But the actor selected by the film company for Snape at the beginning was Tim Ross. At that time, he became a first-line Hollywood movie star because of his role in a series of films directed by Quentin and the male lead of the classic movie "The Pianist at the Sea".
However, since "The Sorcerer's Stone" collided with another big investment movie "Planet of the Apes", Tim Ross finally chose the latter after consideration and gave up Professor Snape. This is how Alan Rickman's version of Snape was found.
3. Fiennes was hesitant about whether to play Voldemort
Ralph Fiennes is a typical Shakespearean drama actor, which makes him prefer mature and serious roles when choosing scripts.
When he received the invitation from Voldemort in "Gop of Fire", he hesitated to take on this role again and again. The last thing that made him decide to sign the contract was his sister Martha, and Martha's three children.
Fiennes mentioned in an interview with "The Jonathan Ross Show" that his sister said to him, "What do you mean? You have to take on this role." So, with the "assistance" of his family, one of the most famous villains in film history was born.
4. Gary Oldman plays Sirius because of money
Harry's godfather Sirius. Although he does not have too many scenes in the movie, his popularity is definitely among the top supporting roles. In addition to Sirius's own character charm, the wonderful performance of actor Gary Oldman also contributes to it.
But Oldman took on this role not because he liked the original work or valued its influence as a big IP. His reason was very simple and down-to-earth, that is "money".
At that time, his career was at its lowest point. He had not had a job for several years and had children at home to take care of him. He needed to play Sirius to "support his family."
After playing Sirius, Oldman's career also returned to normal and started his second spring, and later won the Oscar for the Best Actor.
5. Helena replaces another Helen as Belacrites
Helena Borham Carter, especially good at playing the kind of role that is a bit nervous. It seems that Bella Cretes is her.
However, when the film company is looking for an actor for Bella Cretes, the most optimistic one is Helen McClurery. But McClary was pregnant at that time and was very old, so you could clearly see her pregnant belly.
The film company initially planned to invite McLori to play Bela Cretes, and then later she slid her figure. But after consideration, the decision to change the angle was finally made.
It is obvious that the film crew loves Helen McLori very much. When casting for Draco's mother, he chose McLori as soon as possible.
6. Robbie Courtlany is Robbie Courtlany's first choice actor
Although Robbie Courtlany sets hard requirements for the film's crew that actors must come from the UK, in fact, as the original author, she does not have much say in the casting of the movie. She just listed a list of her ideal casting for the film's reference, and Robbie Courtlany is ranked first.
When "The Sorcerer's Stone" was released in 2001, Rowling talked about the reasons why she chose Robbie Courtlany.
"Robbie is the perfect candidate to play Hager. Because Hager is a person who is loved, liked, and is very funny. I think Robbie's performance is perfect."
