Unveiling the Dark Secrets: Hidden Truths Behind the Magical World of Harry Potter
A Few Legends Were Asked To Play Dumbledore
Before Richard Harris brought Albus Dumbledore to life in The Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets, a few film legends were asked to play the role: Sean Connery, Christopher Lee, and Patrick McGoohan. They all declined the offer.
Connery did not like the script’s subject matter, while Lee had a scheduling conflict. Sadly, McGoohan was in bad health at the time and did not want to risk the commitment.
Daniel Radcliffe Liked To Pull Pranks On Set
On the set of the first Harry Potter film, Daniel Radcliffe was no more than 11 years old. As such a young kid, he enjoyed playing pranks on his co-stars.
On prank was on behalf of Robbie Coltrane, who played Hagrid in the films. Radcliffe turned the language of Coltrane’s phone to Turkish! The older actor had to ask hair designer Eithne Fennel’s father for help changing it back to English, as he was Turkish.
The Dursley’s House Was Ugly For A Reason
It is no secret that the Dursley family is very unpleasant, especially when it comes to Harry Potter. To illustrate how horrible they are, set decorator Stephenie McMillan decided to showcase on the outside how ugly they are on the inside.
So, she picked ugly, mismatched furniture and decor and striped wallpaper to decorate the house.
