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.

If you don’t recall Season 1 and Season 2 of The Walking Dead, then here’s a quick recap. Shane Walsh was a main character and survivor in AMC’s The Walking Dead. He was Rick’s partner at the King County Sheriff’s Department and his best friend since high school. After the initial outbreak, Shane started having feelings for Lori, Rick’s wife. He later became one of the main members of the survivor group camped outside Atlanta.
[Spoiler Alert] Shane would later get killed by Rick in the season finale of The Walking Dead. Shane lures Rick out to a field in the middle of the forest by pretending to look for an escaped Randall, however Rick realizes Shane’s story and comes to the conclusion that Shane brought him out there to kill him. Rick makes it seem as though he’s handing Shane his weapon, as he refused to be armed. Once his gun is in Shane’s hand, Rick pulls out his knife and stabs Shane in the chest, saying he brought this on himself. Shane then dies.
Was it bad acting or a hidden plotline? Either way Shane loved to rub his head while he was on ‘The Walking Dead’. It’s a question that has confused every observer of The Walking Dead.

Check Out Matthew McConaughey’s Original Audition Tape For ‘Dazed And Confused’
Since Matthew McConaughey won an Academy Award for Best Actor, he has been everywhere. From Lincoln commercials to Jim Carrey parody’s on Saturday Night. 2014 was most definitely McConaughey’s year.
But, before landing the role on ‘Dallas Buyers Club’, Matthew McConaughey had a small role on ‘Dazed and Confused‘. Several years ago, McConaughey was a young 23 year old aspring actor who had met the casting director of Dazed and Confused at a Hyatt bar where McConaughey’s friend used to bartend and give him free beer.
That apparently led to this Dazed and Confused audition tape, released today by the Criterion Collection. Matthew McConaughey stars alongside Wiley Wiggins. It is completely obvious that McConaughey was perfect for the role of Wooderson.
Following Dazed and Confused, McConaughey drove to Hollywood to become an actor, and defying absolutely every actor story you’ve ever heard, booked two consecutive parts at his very first two auditions.
For his second, for Angels in the Outfield (starring a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the part was for a baseball player. So McConaughey bought an old baseball hat at a 7/11, and walked in the room with the sun streaming in behind him, looking like a bronze Texas God-king. The director asked, “Have you played any ball?” “For 12 years,” McConaughey told him. “You’re hired,” said the director. [via]
Matthew McConaughey has had an amazing career and it looks like it will continue to skyrocket. He is currently working on ‘Free State of Jones‘ which is currently filming in New Orleans, Louisiana.
