"When that little girl waved her wand, the feathers on the table really floated up!"

After a day's auditions, Alexis said excitedly,

"Charlotte, could it be that the wand you made can not only choose the most suitable actor by yourself, but also really release magic?"

"How is that possible!?"

Charlotte scoffed,

"If spells were so easy to master, there would be no science in this world?—— it was just the wind that she waved her sleeves brought up. ”

“......”

- Well, that's a scientific explanation.

The old gun next to him listened to Charlotte's answer in embarrassment, and looked at the record of today's audition results.

"Harry Potter and Ron Weasley haven't shown up yet, but Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom have found them. It's just—"

The old gun looked at the photo of the little girl in his hand and frowned,

"I'll admit that Emma Watson is a little bit of Hermione Granger's little ghost, smart and cautious, but she's ...... her age."

"That's a real problem. ”

Charlotte also had some headaches.

He really didn't expect that the wand he created by borrowing the small amount of magic accumulated in the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" would choose Emma Watson as Hermione Granger again.

"Is this destiny?"

For a while, Charlotte could only sigh like this.

"But then again, the kid who was chosen by the wand to play Neville Longbottom also seems to be only 9 years old - although his personal image and performance are very similar to Neville in the book, but ......"

The old gun groaned for a moment,

"Charlotte, is there any loophole in the way you use your wand to select actors, which causes the selected children to be young?"

"Well...... this"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, he frowned and thought about it,

"Normally, it doesn't have anything to do with age, unless—"

"Unless what?"

"Unless there is a better talent for spells among the chosen ones, they will be favored by the magic instinct...... Ah, I see!"

Charlotte clapped her hands,

"So that's what happened!"

"What's going on? Can you explain?"

The old gun asked.

"Of course. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"Before a person reaches the age of 10, the performance of magic talent will be more obvious, even if it is poor, it will still be stronger than after the age of ten. So—"

"So the wands, under the influence of your so-called magic powers, will focus on children who are not yet 10 years old!?"

The old gun understood,

"Is this a loophole, can it be adjusted? If it is not adjusted, it is estimated that most of the young actors selected behind us will be under the age of 10, so in this case-"

"Children will generally be on the younger side and may not quite meet the 11-year-old entry standards for Hogwarts in Rowling's books......"

Charlotte knew what the old gun was worried about, and it was a problem. However, he felt that if the criteria in Rowling's book were to be chosen as 10 to 11 years old, there seemed to be some problems.

"The movie "Philosopher's Stone" is easy to say, but if you really want to make "Harry Potter" into a movie series, the shooting speed of the sequel in the future may be difficult to keep up with the growth rate of the young actors!"

Charlotte voiced her worries, and for this issue, neither the old gun nor Alexis on the side was helpless.

- This can be said to be inevitable!

In fact, in Charlotte's original world, the "Harry Potter" series, which has made eight movies, encountered this embarrassment-

First, during the filming of the second "Secret Room", because he caught up with the voice change period of the young actors, he had to rush the shooting, which led to the lack of good production;

Then, by the time of the filming of the third "Prisoner of Azkaban", because of the early development period of European and American races, the "Gryffindor Golden Triangle" had already begun to develop puberty.

According to the setting in Rowling's book, Harry Potter's rapid rise in size actually had to wait until the beginning of the fourth "Goblet of Fire";

- Although Daniel, who plays Harry Potter, is not too tall because of his natural physique, it is not quite in line with the story.

As for the next few films, the speed of filming is even more unable to keep up with the development speed of the young actors.

In the fifth part, the crew simply broke the can, no longer following the convention of one a year, and became one every two years.

Of course, this is not a big deal.

After all, with the growth and development characteristics of European and American races, once the rapid development period has passed, the age gap is not easy to see from the face and size.

- This is also the reason why many flower masters in North America will be frightened by the girl's sentence "I am not yet 16 years old" afterwards, and finally have to break the bank to avoid disasters.

- Those well-developed girls, I really can't see it!!

- And at this age, even if the other party is voluntary, it is punished as compulsory......

In short, by the time of the fourth "Goblet of Fire" and the subsequent plot, it was actually no longer a problem that the filming could not keep up with the development of the actors.

- The audience can't see it anyway.

But before, there was some trouble.

In particular, Charlotte's version of the "Harry Potter" series of movies has a major difference from the "Harry Potter" series in his original world.

- He is not going to direct the series forever, but intends to sell the series to Warner and other big studios after the release of "The Philosopher's Stone" for operation.

This means that the interval between "Philosopher's Stone" and "Secret Room" is difficult to guarantee within one year.

Because he must determine the bottom line and bargaining chips for negotiations with big studios after the box office results of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" are released.

As a result, when everything settles, it is estimated that at least half a year or so will pass, and the rest of the time will be enough for the follow-up producers to shoot at most.

And for post-production, there is absolutely no time, let alone all kinds of publicity work.

If Charlotte is the kind of person who "what's the flood after I'm dead" and he's going to pull out of the Harry Potter franchise entirely, he'd be okay to leave that out of the question.

But the problem is, first of all, he doesn't want to ruin the Harry Potter series, although he has the idea of making money from the Harry Potter series.

- After all, even if it is a memory before the time travel, this series can also be said to be his childhood memory.

Secondly, he plans to sell the series to major studios for production after "Philosopher's Stone", more to strengthen promotion.

- He himself still wants to make some more money by hitchhiking.

- Therefore, he will not quit completely, at least he will retain part of the investment quota and the identity of a producer.

In this case, he needs to think about the future of the "Harry Potter" series-

Choosing a young actor who is 10 to 11 years old in line with the age in the book will make it difficult to shoot later in the series, and it will be more difficult to keep up with the development of the actors than the "Harry Potter" series in Charlotte's original world;

The previous problem was solved by choosing actors under the age of 10, but in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the first part he was going to film, the age of the actors would be significantly younger.

- This is not conducive to the final effect of the film.

"Now or in the future, this is another multiple-choice question!"

Charlotte sighed to herself.

Supposedly, from his standpoint, the choice is more reliable now.

- After all, the problems behind can still be figured out, but if the first part of the series "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" fails, then everything that follows will be gone.

However, Charlotte realized that she had another way -

"I know how to spell!!"
