Hi, first off i'm a new member of this group so I'm not really sure
if this is the correct place to post this. Anyway, I stumbled across
this article in The Daily Prophet about PS/SS (www
.dprophet.com/movies.html) and I found the bit about the casting of
Daniel Radcliffe very strange.
Specifically with this part when the article says :
"Radcliffe", not surprisingly, soon surfaced in connection with the
last name of Columbus. Daniel Radcliffe's mother is a professional
casting agent who's worked with Chris Columbus on three of his past
projects, including Home Alone. Daniel's father is a predominant
literary agent, and the Harry Potter film's executive producer.
Funny; J.K. Rowling wanted an anonymous British schoolboy, and
instead she got the adolescent male version of Tori Spelling -
stealing film roles from perfectly capable actors, simply because
Daddy has connections.
Anyway, I checked out IMDB for the name of the executive producer of
HPSS which was Mark Radcliffe but wasn't Daniel Radcliffe's father
Alan Radcliffe? Is Mark related to Daniel in anyway?
And a search for Marcia Gresham turned up only 2 movies which she was
casting director for : The Wyvern Mystery and Warriors, both of which
were TV movies and none were directed by Chris Columbus...did I get
the right Marcia Gresham?
So I guess the question I'm asking is, is The Daily Prophet article
correct(which means Daniel Radcliffe is the new Tori Spelling)or
not(which means I can sigh with relief)?
Thanks for any help and answers. ( Sorry about the length of the
post... can't think of any shorter way)
