An adaptation of J. K Rowling’s work in 2001 will change the life of an 11-year-old Englishman. Born on July 23, 1989 in Fulham, London, Daniel has a shy air with his rimmed glasses and compassionate eyes. He made his television debut in 1999 as the son of a casting director and a literary agent. David Copperfield, a BBC television movie. If he has enjoyed this experience, the youth is not under illusion: “I dream of being an actor but with my family I am in a good position to know that this is a miracle.“He likes to repeat.
an obstacle course
However, the miracle happens. On the advice of his team, director Chris Columbus scrolls to VHS. David Copperfield on his VCR. For six months, he was tired of auditioning sixteen thousand children without finding “his” Harry Potter. He jumps from the first footage and screams: “It’s Harry Potter!” Hiring this boy will be an obstacle course. The first trap: his parents categorically refuse to let him do the film. It’s out of the question to waste their son’s education on nine months of shooting. Daniel’s mother, Marcia, is in a theater in London and manages to succeed. Convince her. At this stage, nothing can be done without the approval of JK Rowling, the author of this saga. A great businesswoman demands the right to look at the script, music, sets, and derivatives. She meets Daniel, who brilliantly slides into her: “I hate reading. Not including Harry Potter. You reconciled me with readingRealizing that this seduced, bespectacled boy looks a lot like his hero, he agrees.
Brave and hardworking
Filming began in September 2000 at the massive Leavesden studios near London, the former Rolls Royce factory. Daniel feels tiny amid the 1,500 extras, technicians, decorators and craftsmen who are busy rebuilding Hogwarts castle. Through hallucinations, he meets the owl, bat, snake and rat trainers. Explores the Spartan lifestyle of the American plateaus. He rehearses his text at 7 a.m., then falls into the hands of a team that turns him into Harry Potter: his hair, his make-up, his costume, he wears colored contact lenses to have his hero’s green eyes. He has an allergy at first purchase. The digital special effects chief then corrects this detail by coloring Daniel’s eyes. He is brave, works hard, restarts scenes thirty times and refuses to dub for stunts. In the evenings, he goes to the high-tech studio where his face and body are scanned to make a doll in his image, which will be sold in millions of copies on derivative products. These impressive efforts will bear fruit. Daniel Radcliffe becomes the most famous British teenager in the world.
