The end of the XX - the beginning of the XXI centuries.in the history of cinema is characterized by a surge in the genre of fantasy. The world of cinema was literally blown up by such films as The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter and others. The last of them, or rather, it would be possible to talk about all seven parts of the “Potterians”, with full responsibility can be called a landmark cinema.
Filmed on the works of J.Rowling, the film of the same name first appeared on screens in 2001 and immediately became a worldwide sensation. The children of 10-11 years old, the main characters of the film epic, were bombarded by simple boys and girls, and the next morning after the premiere they became world stars.
Yes, it would be rash to argue aboutthat the selection of actors "potteriana" played an important role in the success of the entire project. And, by the way, casting took a lot of time and effort. Of course, the main task was to choose the actors for the role of the main characters of the film - Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Casting began in 1999
Первой его сумела пройти Эмма Уотсон, получившая the role of Hogwarts’s “main master” and Harry Potter’s girlfriend, Hermione. The second to shoot in the film was Rupert Green, whose hero, Ron, was Potter's best friend. Deal with the selection of an artist for the role of Harry Potter was difficult. In the end, Daniel Radcliffe, who managed to conquer the director Chris Columbus, became the main candidate. However, a new unexpected obstacle appeared in the face of Radcliffe's parents, who wanted to provide his son with the opportunity to receive a normal education. But under the pressure of the Columbus team, and, to be honest, the parents passed the fabulous fees. Thus, all the actors of "Harry Potter", or rather, the candidates for the main roles, were identified.
But it is obvious that by these three characters the film is notwas limited to. For 8 films "Potteriana" on the set was visited by a huge number of people. The actors of "Harry Potter" replaced each other constantly, however, there was the backbone that remained in the ranks from the first film. Chief among them are Harry's fellow students, partners from the Quidditch team, faculty members, and, of course, representatives of the dark forces that Harry fought throughout his time at the school of magic and sorcery.
So, it is necessary to single out the Weasley family.Harry Potter's best friend, Ron Weasley, was born in an old and large family of wizards. He had 5 brothers and one sister. In all of the “Potterians,” almost without interruption, Ron's parents — Arthur and Molly Weasley (Mark Williams and Julie Walters respectively), the twin brothers Fred and George Weasley (James and Oliver Phelps), sister Ginni Weasley (Bonnie Wright) — actively participated. .
One of the most important minor characters throughout the whole saga was Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) - the sworn enemy of Potter.
Among fellow students Harry, who invariably participated in all parts, it is necessary to mention Neville Dolgopupsa (Matt Lewis) and Seamus Finnigan (Devon Murray).
And, of course, you can not ignoreHogwarts faculty: the actors of "Harry Potter" from this cohort are loved by film fans especially. This is apparently due to the fact that almost all of them have not changed since the very first part.
Unfortunately, circumstances do not always depend onman, and the main role of the school’s director has changed as the shoot proceeded. The first two parts of the Potteriana were played by Richard Harris, an odious director of the Albus Dumbledore school, who, according to many, very precisely conveyed the traits of his hero and was his living embodiment from the pages of books. However, in 2002, the elderly actor died, replaced by Irish actor Michael Gambon, who completely redrew the image of an old man, which was an unpleasant surprise for fans of this film.
Actors "Harry Potter", representingteachers of the school were remembered largely due to the two charismatic characters of the book, whose image was skillfully transferred to the set by no less charismatic actors. These are the deans of Slytherin, Severus Snegge, and Gryffindor, Minerva McGonagall (Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith, respectively).
And finally, it is necessary to mention the mainopponents harry. Actors "Harry Potter", who had the duty to play the role of the main villains, coped with their task brilliantly. From their cohort stand out Rafe Fiennes, gorgeous Helena Bonham Carter and Isaacs Jason (Volan de Mort, Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy respectively).
In general, if you give an analysis of the whole actorthe composition of the “Potterians”, then it must be said that the main characters were brilliantly selected, and practically synchronous shooting and the release of new parts of the book impressed into the mind of the “Potter Man” images of a literary work and film into a single whole.
Almost all the actors of the film "Harry Potter"can consider their participation in this project the pinnacle of acting career. On the other hand, for someone, this was just the start and ticket to the world of cinema. But to go there in the image of the heroes of the fairytale saga is very difficult, because these actors are partly hostages of their images.
