Harry Potter Auditions And How The Cast Landed The Role

The only actor I believe did not fill his role's shoes, was the late Michael Gambon. His Dumbledore is well below the Richard Harris's one. There were many better choices in my opinion. Michael Cane for example, would do a much better job playing the character.

That's so crazy!

Voldemort his nose its there!!!

I could not picture Harry Potter without this Trio and Alan Rickman as Severus, and Ralph as Voldemort. They were just PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT for the role.

Tom Felton would’ve been good as Ron. Just look at his live-streaming of the first Harry Potter movie, with his reactions. He does a really good Ron face.

Alan Rickman was fabulous!

iiiiiilllllllloooooooooovvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt

can you do more golden trio bloopers?

I can’t picture Harry Potter Without these actors in their roles!

I “ used to be so much in love with this little lady ❤” not anymore after I found out the real person that she became! So sad 😭 and sickening 😢😢

Rip Alan rickman , richard harris and Robbie Coltrane
They played a good character in the movie

The casts are so perfect. Because of that, it turned out to be great movies of all time.

I Love Harry Potter ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Few of them past away already, Rip dumbledore 1, dumbledore 2 snape, hagrid

'Emma was a lil too pretty to play Hermione' wow JK Rowling, wow

My favorite audition story is Rupert Grint's. Auditioning with rap, that's just like him.

additional tidbits on the Phelp Twins - and the crew and cast - not being sure which one was playing which twins, it was a last minute decision before the first table reading that James would be Fred, and Oliver would be George. Much like the Weasleys, the Phelps would often switch places without anyone knowing the better, so the times that Molly mistakes one for the other and they correct her, the reactions are so authentic because the actors did in fact switch places.

I said u all 2 3 percent people r dead for me bye..

plot twist: We are so glad that (other person from the characters picked) where picked instead of the others.

WHO KNOW. THE GIRL BECOMES THE FAMOUS EMMA WATSON. BUT THE QUESTION IS. IS SHE A LEGEND. I THINK IT IS STILL TIME TO MAKE HER LEGEND.

Did the narrator ever actually see the films? It's "Ginny Weasley," short for "Ginerva," not "Jenny."

Why would Tom Felton be good as Harry or Ron bc he is blonde and Ron is ginger and Harry has black hair but Daniel Radcliffe does have blue eyes and the actor for Lily has brown their meant to have green eyes

He is perfect

WOAH, INFORMATION ABOUT THAT HELENA AND HELEN

Another good one is how David Thewlis originally auditioned for Quirrell and got a call back couple years later for Remus.

The first dumbledore was by far the best

We are not potter heads

Why am I always late for each fascinating searies 😅.. and I'm gonna watch the last episode of Harry Potter and now here i become one of the fan 😭🤞

I liked Emma's auditions

easiest way how to become voldemort: cut your nose off :D

Somebody: " nothing is impossible "
Me trying to picture the harry potter characters with different actors
💀💀🙅‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Ginny is spelled with a g not a j. Please get it right.😠

HERE ME OUT Everyone says it's a crime if they weren't the actors. But... if I were to turn back time and make sure someone else was casted I'm 100% sure you guys will say the exact same thing

There's no Hogwarts without you Hagrid.
We miss you Robbie Coltrane 😢

Three slight miscasts (in my opinion): Dumbledore (Richard Harris), Ginnie (older), and Neville (older). I preferred Michael Gambon's rendition of Dumbledore, and Ginnie and Neville, while perfect in the first few films, were not as great in the latter ones. Everyone else was spot on for me. It's a miracle that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were so perfect in their roles even in every single film.

i like the draco audition the best, because he auditioned for all of his enemies at the start of the franchise 🤣

i swear jk rowling took inspiration from evanna lynch writing luna lovegood

Rowling may not be the best person but her helping Luna’s actress get over an ED is very kind

Richard Harris is the PERFECT Dumbledore. I am still heartbroken he didn't get to finish the franchise. The Dumbledore from 3rd film onwards is a little too agressive and talk brashly. Up until now when rereading the book I always imagine Dumbledore as Movie 1 & 2 Dumbledore. I can't really see Movie 3 - 6 as the book Dumbledore. 😥

Jeremy Irons would have made a better Snape and Alan Rickman would have made a better Voldemort.

They'll never be those kids again.
Their all growing up.

I think I would have to go with mr. Haris’s. I think it’s just hilarious that his granddaughter had to practically threaten him before he agreed to do it.

My fav audition story was definitely Rupert's

The does "i did a wrap" means? Please

ILOVE HARRY POTTER 💖

What I realized was that most of them, their family or friends talked them into playing them.

If you watch the series from the start. The acting was not great. Most of the kids could of been changed without it making any difference to the films. I see people saying they can not see anyone else doing the part. But they would of said the same for any other actor if they see them growing up in the role. I believe only harry potter (daniel) was vital casting. I also believe robbie coltrane was vital too. without them 2 i think it would of not been as popular.

Wow.. It's nice to hear something about the actors from their side, I was literally surprised Tomorrow even wanted to audition for the roles of Harrpy Potter or Ronald Weasley! It's good to know about them! But I must admit.. I was shocked to hear that Evannah Lynch had been Pen friends with JK Rowling!
