Harry Potter Auditions And How The Cast Landed The Role

[@ceceliatruscott4588]

You missed the fact that the actors of the Weasly twins didn't tell their parents they were auditioning and skipped school to attend the audition, good job they got the part!!!!

[@samanthaaibel5501]

[@phoenixav9550]

Fun Fact : The trio was once asked to write an essay on what they like about their character. Emma wrote an essay of about 5 pages, Daniel wrote an essay of 1 page and Rupert forgot about the essay and when asked about it just improvised and said he didn't write cause Ron would probably forget about such a thing

[@minhaluqman7685]

Really?

It's amazing how each actor was perfect for their role even though some weren't originally cast and others having to audition so many times.

I might say it's not just the story, it's the writing, which has many layers. Rowling is a great writer.

[@lordvenjix3757]

Auditioning for a movie is a bit different than reading for TV or theater.Depending on the director’s experience and method of working, they may employ different methods of auditioning actors. It’s hard to know exactly what to expect. There are a few skills that are universally expected of actors when auditioning for a film.

[@thienpool]

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.
