Yep, the actor who became a global legend as the Boy Who Lived almost called it quits before his journey even started. Harry Potter casting director Janet Hirshenson spilled the tea on how Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint ended up in Harry Potter, and trust me, it wasn’t an easy pick.
The whole casting process? Total marathon. J.K. Rowling was heavily involved and had a checklist that was no joke. First, it waonly about British actorsly, and Harry needed to rocr blue or green eyes. As Hirshenson said, “We said, ‘Oh, drat! He’s great, but he has brown eyes.’” It wasn’t just about being a good actor but also about having that perfect look for the role.
Then came Radcliffe. At first, he wasn’t exactly feeling it. In fact, he was done with acting.
