Daniel Radcliffe almost lost the role of Harry Potter to a handsome man but was still chosen because of strict rules

To select the boy best suited for the role of Harry Potter, the Warner Bros. and author JK Rowling went through an extremely difficult selection process, headaches among thousands of bright candidates. However, before choosing Daniel Radcliffe, the Harry Potter team was aiming for a different name.

It's hard to imagine what Harry Potter would look like in the movie if it weren't for Daniel Radcliffe. But at first, the crew really wanted another actor instead. That person was Liam Aiken. The American male born in 1990 worked with director Chris Columbus in the movie Stepmom. Because of his strong acting impression, Aiken was personally recommended by Columbus.

However, the female author of the Harry Potter series - JK Rowling did not agree. Because right from the start, JK Rowling set a rule for casting Harry Potter: 100% of the cast had to be British. Therefore, despite possessing the perfect "CV", Liam Aiken cannot become the classic "survivor boy".

Without Harry Potter, Liam Aiken continues to act in films, but so far, he has not had any explosive titles. At 32, Liam Aiken is still a little-known name, unlike Daniel Radcliffe.

For Radcliffe, the role of Harry Potter changed his life forever, making him one of Hollywood's most sought-after stars. For now, however, Daniel Radcliffe has decided to slow down, hone his acting through Broadway and independent film projects.

No longer dazzling aura like before, but at least, Daniel Radcliffe is now extremely full, satisfied with his career and love story.

It can be said that, 20 years after participating in the movie "Harry Potter", not everyone succeeds in a movie career. Some people are lucky thanks to the movie that they become famous stars, but there are people who have to give up acting to go into real estate.

Emma Watson - Hermione Granger

Emma Watson is the youngest actress when taking on the role of Hermione Granger in Harry Potter. From the 11-year-old girl in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the actress is now the most successful star in the main cast.

After the Harry Potter series, Emma Watson's career flourished. The actress was critically acclaimed for her appearances in the Perks of Being a Wallflower series, Little Women, and as Belle in the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast (2017).

In an interview with the BBC, Emma Watson describes herself as a nerd. The actress graduated with a major in English Literature from Brown University, one of the most prestigious schools in the US.

In a conversation with Interview magazine, the Beauty and the Beast star said she attended college to make up for the school life she missed in the past. "The first day of school, everyone was completely silent and turned to look at me because I'm a celebrity. I just told myself it's okay," the actress said.

Emma Watson is also known as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations. She was included in Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people of 2015 for her contributions to the community.

In 2020, the Harry Potter movie star was appointed to the board of directors of Kering Group - the parent company of a series of luxury brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, Celiné...

Although less involved in acting, Emma Watson stated that she has no intention of giving up.

Rupert Grint - Ron Weasley
