Aussie Rumour

[BeeHarry]

There is a rumour down here in Australia that they are not going to cast Daniel Radcliffe for the next HP movie (after GOF).

Is this true? Because I would hate to see anyone else take over from Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson or Rupert Grint because they ARE their respective characters. We don't know them as anything or anyone else!!

Please Warner Bros. ... if this rumour is true - please keep them on!!

[Barny The Barn]

Nah - they've definitely confirmed Daniel, Emma and Rupert for OOTP which starts filming in January. But who knows after that. I can't see any of them wanting to give up on it when there are only 2 films left after OOTP. I can see, however that they might have to do continuous filming to ensure the filming is done before they are too old.

[BeeHarry]

With the too old issue - there is no difference to when all those actors/actresses in Dawson's Creek who were playing 15 and 16 yr olds when they themselves were like 25 and so.

I think it is great seeing Daniel, Rupert & Emma growing up in & as the characters. I cant wait until all 7 books & movies are complete!!

[Scarlet Lioness]

Yeah and also in Raise your Voice, they were 20 something year olds playing teenagers...

[SunsetG|rl]

I remember once Ema said that she is not like Hermione and that she doesn't want necesarilly people to asociete her with Hermione just because she played that role... I do not know if it was a thing she said for real, or just a magazine makein' it up... But it sounds really plausible... She will probably want to get some other roles when Harry Potter movies are over...

[BeeHarry]

Yeah like she and both Daniel and Rupert will probably get other roles after these movies are finished but we will ALWAYS associate them as Harry, Hermione and Ron. Its the same as Don Adams as Maxwell Smart. He tried to get roles once Get Smart was finished but they were either flops or weren't successful like his previous role.

The kid from ET... Mark Hamill...

I think it unlikely that the trio won't sign on for HBP and HP7. I think they'll have too much pressure on them to continue, that it'll take an extraordinary amount of courage to stop.
And I don't think the age issue is of importance. 20 year olds have been playing teenagers for years.

[Asphodel]

Yes, but Watson already has a referral to leave.

[BeeHarry]

What do you mean Asphodel that Emma has a referral to leave??

I think that they would be stupid to leave before the end of the whole set of the movies, but I heard that it was more the producers and soforth that wanted new actors/resses.

Anyway, I'm glad that they all want to stay and do all of the movies.

[Snow_Crystal]

A referral to leave!!?? Where did you hear that?

I think they should do all the films. After all there are only three left to make now, they won't be that old by the time it's all finished and yeah it's good to see them grow up on screen.

I think Emma will have some really good future acting roles. She really is turning out to be a beauty and the way they rave about her over here, the Brits are really proud to have her. I think she's fab. She's already a wanted woman and I can't believe she won't get acting offers after HP.

Rupert, I suspect might do a few more projects but won't be able to get out the HP branding and the same for the actors who play Draco, Neville, Seamus, Dean.

Dan, I don't know, it's hard with him, whether he gets future work only time will tell. They've talked about him being a future bond and I think actually once he's got some years on him he could be quite good at that.

[BeeHarry]

Daniel will get and has got other roles.

At the moment, he is down here in Australia filming a movie called 'December Boys' (i think that's the right name).

They are all so talented!, so good luck to all of them I say!

[Broccoli]

I read about this new film. Do you know when it will be released?

[BeeHarry]

I have no idea sorry. All I know is that it is about 4 young orphaned boys (daniel is one of them) who is vying for a place in a new family that wants to adopt one of them ... if that makes sense.

[Asphodel]

Well, I know someone who tryed out for the "Luna Lovegood" (she moved away to England a while ago) part and they received on accident various files from Warner Bros. when they should've only gotten the ones regarding Luna. Among these was a refferal for Emma Watson to leave. Then again, it could've just been a mistake or something, I dunno...
