You can tell the director cared about these kids and did his job of protecting them. Because if he hadn't they would've disappeared and re-amerged 10 years later talking in code and high on drugs. So God bless that man.

[@Mal1050E]

Yep also Harry, Emma and Rupert were from good families they were already quite well off so I think they were shielded from greedy parents etc

[@anyamelissa3006]

as much as I would love to agree, Daniel himself has been open about his addiction to alcohol during the last few movies

[@Mal1050E]

@@anyamelissa3006 yes I don’t think that’s because of his parents though - I mean imagine if Emma, Daniel or Rupert had a family like Britney Spears did !!

period, like look at the way justin bieber, billie eilish or many other young ppl became celeb at such young age have to suffer. im very impressed how the harry potter’s casts were protected and encourged

[@keriddunk1520]

All of them are the same as their characters. 1) Harry : a little akward, but calm and wise . Reluctant chosen one 2) Hermione : Smart , intelligent and confident 3) Ron: Witty, quirky and goofy.

[@zbr0]

Exactly!! And Draco too it’s so cute to see them as little kids being mid actors and then growing up to be some of the most famous well-established actors. I feel like a proud mother 🥹😭❤️

[@darthbiker2311]

I bet that's why they were chosen for their respective roles, because they, um, fit their roles neatly.

[@zbr0]

[@marcelogreco89]

Me parece que Ron (o Rupert) era un chico muy despierto a esa edad. Creo que en las primeras películas se lo veía más asertivo, pero después decayó un poco sí personaje, y terminó haciendo más de "adolescente torpe". Daniel parecía tener el perfil más bajo de los tres y tuvo el protagónico, obviamente por su parecido al protagonista.

[@brenda3338]

Emma is so smart and mature for her age at this time, she was born into the character.

[@visionist7]

Girls mature sooner than boys. However once they reach a certain level they tend to stop whereas boys keep maturing over time.

[@deepanshu1456]

Exactly 💯

[@SUNFlower-tt9zv]

She's witty... That made her so confidence

[@MultiJames95]

Not only that. Before she won this part, there was another actress supposed to play her character, Hatty Jones (you know Madeline).

[@alessandroarsuffi9227]

Exactly my thought. She speaks faster and shows a very adult way of thinking. She matches the character perfectly. Daniel was very embarrassed, he seems to be playing the scene when Hagrid revealed him that he was a wizard... Same pace and shyness. As for Rupert... I love when he admits being nervous for being somewhat tested with that press conference, it's a very Ron thing. The Trio were a perfect casting and it will be very difficult to replace them in a new adaptation.

[@MedaSavagequeen]

Just look at Ruperts sense of humour... At this age!!!

He was 12 so not unusual

I think Harry could have been casted better, but Hermione and Ron are perfect.

[@ouroborostechnologies696]

Emma Watson is far from perfect casting, she is visually not that much alike to the books@@rafadydkiemmacha7543

Not so sure about that, Harry was a week point the whole way through. Every single other character in the films was perfect though.

[@Rudebo]

@@James_08_07 what do you mean? He is an orphan who grew up in an abusive household. So it would make sense if he were a bit timid

No comment!? Lemme change that

[@abhishekranjan4321]

Rupert was brilliant in this interview, at this age he was able to handle this press conference with humour.

[@coolperson962]

Kills me at 1:39 Daniel says "A long time ago i read the first two books". Even though Philosophers/Sorcerers only came out three years prior to the interview, with Chamber of Secrets coming out only two. At that age though, 2 or 3 years can seem like a long time indeed!

[@SUNFlower-tt9zv]

I don't think he had read those books either..

I'm so happy that the director let them be kids. All good directors should do that.

[@malakaneesmohsin4952]

Omg rupert was sooo cute i wanna squeeze his cheeks 😭

[@kylebaggett9639]

I am the same age as Daniel Radcliffe, and I was terribly disappointed that no one wanted to dye my hair black and cast me as Harry Potter. 20 some years later I am sitting here watching this like they are kids right now, and it's a weird feeling. They are just children having this experience. They sit in the chairs like adults, answer questions like adults, questions that adults typically would be the ones to answer. And it's just weird to watch kids minds work. I watched a fifth grader doing long division one time as a substitute teacher, and I was blown away that tiny humans like that were capable of so much. Something I took for granted as a kid, for sure.

[@padmeasmr]

Around their age I remember thinking " as I get older I have to absolutely remember how it feels to be this age and how much more intelligent I am than people think, I understand more than you know". I grew up with three older brothers and around older people in general and I used to find my classmates so mediocre lol. But then when I started working with children I remembered of what I had experienced and they would come up to me and say "you are our favourite cause you don't treat us like stupid kids". Of course I didn't speak to them as if they were fully adult but I'd challenge them to think deeper. Kids can do so much if given the opportunity and a little trust and confidence.

[@aysharahman5201]

Awww my babies😍😍❤Dan was like the cutest shy 11 year old whom I wanna hug so badly😭😍Emma like Emma so much confident & Rupert the funny one😂😂😂 CAN'T wait to see golden trio reunion on this new year😁😁😁

[@luisbarbosa8773]

"one of the most valuable film franchises in history" boy was he right

[@neryskkiran1820]

Liked how the director, at the very end, talked about his requirement that the actors he selected for the roles would have to have good parents. In the interest of protecting the children through the process.

[@user-yd1du5ny2i]

It's hard to believe this was 23 years ago..both boys have kids

[@terroristeoverdoz]

Harry is the only one behave like a kid, the other two are calculating what they have to say.

[@Mr.Kerr-cade]

"Way to be real Harry"

[@user-kj1pq6zh3x]

I read a theory that adults told them what to say beforehand

[@XtremeKillah101]

Harry was so nervous it was adorable . These kids are legendary

[@KyleEvra]

You act like Kids can't be intelligent. Stop thinking Children are Dumb.

[@nemo227]

I'm an old guy who has not been disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed the movies and I'm happy with the way the kids have matured.

[@cookwithme____]

Hopefully this movie will be good👍

[@py8554]

I cannot overemphasise how brilliant the choice of the cast of small kids was. Every one of them went on to keep growing in their acting skills and adding depth. Some child actors grew up to be arrogant and flashy, or pick up bad habits and hit scandals. But none of the cast here became like that. And even more remarkably , for a project that lasted over a decade and 8 lengthy movies, all the cast stayed with the project, contributing their best. This is not just a matter of the dedication of the actors and their families, but also a matter of favourable fortunes.

[@aygenecevit3082]
