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

Rupert Grint is loved when he transforms into the character of the wizard Ron Weasley. However, since the Harry Potter series, the actor's career has not taken a new step.

In 2011, Rupert Grint appeared in Ed Sheeran's Lego House MV. The product marks the actor's return to the public. Grint then appeared in the feature films Into the White and Moonwalkers, the lead role in the stage play It Only A Play.

According to the BBC, in addition to not-so-impressive roles, Rupert Grint mainly invests in real estate. The actor currently has a fortune of about 32 million USD.

In 2020, the 34-year-old star suddenly announced that she would become a father. The actor was congratulated by many colleagues when he posted photos with his young daughter.

Tom Felton - Draco Malfoy

After playing the evil wizard Draco Malfoy of Hogwarts, Tom Felton's career was associated with villains. In 2011, the actor played the villain Dodge Landon in the big budget film Planet of the Apes.

After that, the British star appeared in many television projects. Some of his works are Murder in the First, The Flash, the role of Logan in the original series Origin.

Felton also makes time for music. The British actor appeared in the music video Empty Space by James Arthur, releasing a number of his own products, including the EP YooHoO earlier this year.

On Halloween, Tom Felton abandoned the Slytherin house and transformed into the character Harry Potter. Previously, the actor burst into tears when reviewing his role in the famous series.

In an interview with Insider, the 35-year-old actor said he had never seen the movie even as one of the main actors. Felton planned to watch the film again after the birth of his son, but pleased fans, re-watching the series on livestream.
