In 2001, the first film about the wizard-boy Harry Potter was released, the history of which was already known to the whole world. In just ten years, eight films were shot based on seven books, in which countless actors played.
Harry Potter
The main role is played by Daniel Jacob Radcliffe, born July 23, 1989 in the family of a casting agent. From early childhood, he showed a penchant for theater. His film debut was the film David Copperfield, where the actor played the great mystifier in his youth, followed by the film The Tailor from Panama. Then, for ten years, Daniel starred in the Rowling saga, but managed to appear in other films. Since 2004, he began to take an active part in theatrical performances.
Daniel is a fan of punk-rock, cricket, and calls the novel "The Master and Margarita" his favorite book. In 2012, he starred in the film "Notes of a Young Doctor" based on the work of Bulgakov. Daniel, playing a young doctor who is forced to cope with various adversities, masterfully coped with the task.
Hermione Granger
Emma Watson was born into a family of lawyers, before "Harry Potter" she had no experience filming in films, only brilliantly participated in school plays and won the reading competition at the age of six. The head of the theater group sent her to the casting, the confident girl liked the commission and easily went through all the selection rounds.
The shooting brought the young actress unprecedented fame, but in all interviews she spoke with caution about her future career as an actress. Despite this, Emma continued to act after "Potteriana" ("Ballet Shoes", "7 Days and Nights with Marilyn", "It's Nice to Be Quiet", etc.).
In addition, the girl connected herself with the modeling business.
Emma began her career as a fashion model in 2009, signing a contract with Burberry.
Ron Weasley
The role of Harry's red-haired friend went to Rupert Green. He learned about the casting on the BBC TV channel. As a fan of J. K. Rowling's books, Rupert goes to audition, composing a song about how badly he wants to act.
Along with filming Harry Potter, Rupert Green participates in projects such as Thunder in Pants, Cherry Bomb, Wild Thing, and others. At the age of sixteen, he leaves school to focus entirely on his acting career. After the release of the last tape about the story of a wizard boy, Rupert managed to star in six films.
Draco Malfoy
Thomas Felton, as a child, sang in four choirs at once, one of which was a church one. In the direction of a friend of the singer, he ended up at a film studio, and two weeks later received an invitation to shoot in the film "Thieves", released in 1997, which became the film debut of the young actor.
Before starting to play in "Harry Potter", Tom appeared in a number of films and TV series and already had a rich filming experience compared to his young colleagues. The role of Draco Malfoy brought him great success.
The image of Draco Malfoy made such an impression on the young fans of the saga that at the presentations of the paintings they reacted ambiguously to the appearance of Tom, were frightened and openly hated.
However, in parallel with the acting profession, Tom was engaged in music and has already managed to release two of his albums, which the fans appreciated quite highly.
