In fact, after deciding to shoot "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" herself, Charlotte realized a problem -

This version of Hermione Granger may no longer be played by Emma Watson.

No way, Emma Watson was born in 1990, and now in 1997, she is only in her early 7s.

According to the plot of the book, Hermione Granger should have been 11 years old when she first appeared.

Unlike adults, whose looks are basically fixed, child actors' looks and bodies change every year - the difference in age of about four years can basically be said to be earth-shattering.

Therefore, the seven-year-old Emma will definitely not be able to play the 11-year-old Hermione in the book, and Charlotte will not be able to wait for two or three years until the other party is barely of age before filming.

In fact, according to this logic, it is not only Emma who played Hermione in the original version, but also the other two in the "Gryffindor Golden Triangle", and Charlotte may have to use other actors -

There is no way, time and the law of human growth cannot be violated.

So, now in the primary list, Charlotte is a little surprised to see Emma Watson's name-

"Old gun, isn't this kid a little old-"

"She!"

The old gun glanced at Emma's photo and immediately reacted - it seems that the other party left a deep impression on him,

She wasn't auditioning for Hermione Granger. ”

"Not Hermione!?"

"Yes, it's Ginny Weasley!"

Old Gun explained.

"Do we have any plans to make this sister of Ron appear in the movie?"

Charlotte asked.

And the old gun shrugged his shoulders,

"This is her self-recommendation, so I am very impressed by this little girl!"

"I see. Interesting!"

Charlotte nodded.

In the original books of the "Harry Potter" series, Ginny Weasley did appear in the first "Philosopher's Stone", although she played more roles in the second "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

However, now Joanna Rowling's "Chamber of Secrets" is still being written, and at present, the future Harry Potter girlfriend is just a small role for passers-by.

"Emma Watson, or her parents, would compete for the role of Ginny right now, did they see that Harry Potter would be serialized?"

"It's not something that's hard to guess. ”

The old gun said with a smile,

"The original author Rowling has long revealed the news that she is writing a sequel, and you, as a big-name director, are preparing to make an adaptation of the movie, in the eyes of many people, as long as the box office is successful, "Harry Potter" will inevitably become a new movie series!"

"You're right!"

Charlotte laughed too,

"And, from now on, it's not a bad thing to plan ahead. But—"

Charlotte glanced at the old gun,

"Let's pick out the most important actors first!"

In the preparation before the filming of the movie, many things such as costumes and props must be prepared in advance, but these must be determined before the actors can begin.

So, after arriving in London and playing with Charlize for a few days, Charlotte began to choose actors on the basis of the list of personnel listed by the old gun-

The first thing that was decided was not the main "Gryffindor Golden Triangle".

After all, the selection of young actors is very troublesome.

The first to be identified are actors in adult roles, such as Professor Dumbledore, Harry's brother-in-law Vernon, and so on.

Because in "Guillotine Valley", she worked with a group of British actors, and Charlotte directly selected several people from among them.

The only thing that Charlotte regrets is that Christopher Lee, the old man, does not match the schedule-

"Otherwise, I think you might be able to play Dumbledore!"

Charlotte vs. Christopher Lee Dao.

The old man has no regrets,

"I look a little fierce, and it's hard to say whether it's suitable to play Dumbledore. However, if you're going to make "The Lord of the Rings", I'm definitely going to fight for the role of Gandalf. ”

"The Lord of the Rings?"

In the past two years, it has indeed been rumored that New Line is studying the possibility of adapting the movie "The Lord of the Rings", and Mr. Westwood has also revealed relevant news to Charlotte.

But Charlotte didn't have much idea about the movie for the time being.

No way, Tolkien's famous book, the copyright owner is really a little difficult to do.

Moreover, Charlotte did not have time to study the composition of Middle-earth for the time being.

"Leave it to Peter Jackson, who loves Tolkien!"

That's what Charlotte originally thought.

However, now that Christopher Lee mentions it, Charlotte remembers that this is still a hardcore "Gandalf" fan.

- Although he later starred as the Wizard of Saruman in "The Lord of the Rings", it was Gandalf who he wanted to play the most.

Speaking of which, Charlotte suddenly remembered that Ian McKlein, who later played Gandalf in "The Lord of the Rings", also seemed to be on Dumbledore's shortlist.

"Maybe I could—"

Charlotte suddenly had an idea......

Dumbledore is not the only character who has encountered strange problems.

In the selection of Professor Snape's actors, the original author Rowling's suggestion made Charlotte cry and laugh.

"You want me to play Snape!?"

Charlotte pointed to her nose with a look of surprise,

"Joanna, didn't you say you wanted the main roles to be played by British actors?"

"Hope is hope, but—"

Joanna Rowling's face was entangled,

"I originally designed the character of Professor Snape in your image!"

“......”

Charlotte was in a daze for a moment.

He really didn't expect it, just because he met J· K. Rowling, it will cause such a change.

"A writer's brain is big!"

Charlotte sighed with emotion, and suddenly realized a problem-

"Joanna, I remember that Snape was shown in your book as a god of disgust, right?"

"Yes, yes. ”

"And you designed him in my image—"

Charlotte glared at Rowling,

"How much do you hate me in your mind!?"

“......”

In the end, Rowling had to explain to Charlotte for a long time before Mr. Director stopped complaining about her.

In fact, Charlotte from the future naturally knows that Professor Snape is not some villain-

On the contrary, by the end of the series, this lifelong bitter experience will almost be ready to participate in the "Top Ten People Who Moved Britain" campaign.

However, this does not affect Charlotte to complain about Rowling now.

Of course, he wouldn't agree to play Professor Snape because of that.

- Although, according to the original author, Rowling, he does resemble Professor Snape in the book.

"I remember you said that you wanted to write seven films in the Harry Potter series, right? If it were a movie, I guess I would have to spend ten years in it - I don't have that much time to stay in the UK to shoot. ”

Charlotte gave the reason for her refusal,

"What's more, Hollywood's habit of making movies is that actors in their early thirties often play roles in their twenties, and actors in their thirties tend to play actors in their forties — from that point of view, I'm at best suitable for playing Snape in his youth. ”

"Really, Snape in his youth!"

Joanna Rowling nodded helplessly, but began to think about the role of the young Snape in the follow-up book.

- So, the author still can't afford to offend.
