Watch Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint audition for roles on Harry Potter.
Before Harry Potter series was turned into a billion dollar franchise, movie producers were searching across the world for the kid actors to play Harry Potter, Hermione, and Ron Weasley.
J.K. Rowling personally insisted that the cast be kept British. Susie Figgis was hired as casting director, working with Columbus and Rowling in auditioning the lead roles of Harry, Ron and Hermione.
Open casting calls were held for the main three roles, with only British children being considered. The principal auditions took place in three parts, with those auditioning having to read a page from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, then if called back, they had to improvise a scene of the students’ arrival at Hogwarts, they were then given several pages from the script to read in front of Columbus. After several auditions, the casting director quit complaining that Columbus did not consider any of the thousands of children they had auditioned “worthy”. A few months later, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were selected to play Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, respectively.
Emma Watson’s Oxford theatre teacher passed her name on to the casting agents and she had to do over five interviews before she got the part. Watson took her audition seriously, but “never really thought [she] had any chance of getting the role.” The producers were impressed by Watson’s self-confidence and she outperformed the thousands of other girls who had applied.
Rupert Grint decided he would be perfect for the part “because [he has got] ginger hair,” and was a fan of the series. Having seen a newsreport about the open casting he sent in a video of himself rapping about how he wished to receive the part. His attempt was successful as the casting team asked for a meeting with him.
Producers had wanted Radcliffe for the role since he saw him in the BBC’s production of David Copperfield, before the open casting sessions had taken place, but had been told by Figgis that Radcliffe’s protective parents would not allow their son to take the part.Columbus explained that his persistence in giving Radcliffe the role was responsible for Figgis’ resignation. Radcliffe was asked to audition in 2000, when Heyman and Kloves met him and his parents at a production of Stones in His Pockets in London.Heyman and Columbus successfully managed to convince Radcliffe’s parents that their son would be protected from media intrusion, and they agreed to let him play Harry.Rowling approved of Radcliffe’s casting, stating that “having seen [his] screen test I don’t think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry.”

Godaddy has pulled the ad they released on YouTube earlier this week from the Superbowl after animal rights activists freaked out over puppy cruelty issues. The commercial was supposed to make fun of “Lost Dog,” Budweiser’s critically acclaimed commercial, but apparently that was a big mistake.
The ad itself shows an adorable dog at which point it finds its owner, who is relieved because she had just sold the dog on her GoDaddy website and was about to have it next-day shipped.
https://youtu.be/blDezzNEX3E
Animal rights activists, however, don’t really like the joke. Or, instead they find puppies bought online is obviously coming from a puppy mill. The SPCA argued that the ad supported inhumane breeding, while Change.org asserted that the ad encouraged puppy mills.
“Puppies thrown in a cardboard box in the back of a pickup?” asked one anonymous commenter, according to Adweek. “Most likely being transported from puppy mill to broker since no mother in sight? No health tests on parents? Breeder too lazy for a proper kennel name?”
GoDaddy decided to pull the ad in response to the backlash, because you don’t spend millions of dollars on a commercial just to piss people off. Instead, the GoDaddy plans to air a backup ad during the Super Bowl.

WATCH: Marlon Wayans’ Audition Tape for Richard Pryor Biopic
The role now belongs to Mike Epps, in an upcoming movie that will be directed by Lee Daniels (Empire) with Oprah Winfrey also attached to play Richard Pryor’s grandmother. But, when the movie was in early development, Marlon Wayans was tapped to play Richard Pryor in a film that Chris Rock was expected to produce. But, that was 5 years ago in 2010. When Rock wanted to make the movie he was shocked to see Marlons’ audition tape.
Lee Daniels has not really spoken publicly about the project, although he did point out that Chris Rock loved Marlon Wayans’ audition, however producers and casting directors loved Mike Epps’ performance even more.
There were several other actors that were tapped to audition for the role of Richard Pryor including Nick Cannon and Michael B. Jordan. However, the role was later given to Mike Epps.
Here’s the footage; the first half, I’m told, was written and directed by Bill Condon (director of films like “Dreamgirls” and “The Fifth Estate”); the second half is a Pryor monologue.
Check out the audition below:
