Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood): I was originally going to audition for the part of Percy Weasley. I thought he sounded like a cool, suave guy, but my daughter told me I was a Filch so that tells you how they see me. I quite fancied playing the part of Snape. We were sat there for hours! As it was an open audition, any kid could go in, so you’ve got theatre school types doing their friggin’ tap dancing and vocal warmups.īradley: My kids told me they were making a film of the book we liked and that I should be in it. I was given a raffle ticket with something like number 465 on it. I’d been acting since I was five so I went down with my agency – a big group of kids all on this bus. Lewis: I first attended a big open audition. By that point, they have a certain bag of tricks and you don’t get a naturalistic performance. If you cast kids from the Disney Channel, in a sense they’ve had too much of it. I don’t normally read that kind of thing but I thought I’d better read it to see what everybody was talking about.Ĭolumbus: I wanted kids who didn’t have a lot of experience. To this day, I’ve never read chapter one of Philosopher’s Stone.ĭavid Bradley (Filch): We were on holiday in Sardinia with the kids and they were into this book called Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. My mate told me he was the same, so I skipped to chapter two and just fell in love with it. I don’t want to say it was boring… but I couldn’t get into it. I read the first chapter and couldn’t get into it. It just sat on a bookshelf for a while because I hadn’t read the first two. Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom): I bought Prisoner of Azkaban from the school book fair because everyone else had been on about them. And in two days! A lightbulb went off in my head, and I knew I had to make the movie. Then The Chamber of Secrets came out and she asked a million more times, so I read it. Chris Columbus (director): My daughter kept saying, “Dad, you should read this and make it into a film!” To be honest, I kind of ignored her because I wasn’t interested in wizards and magic.
