[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Why not Radcliffe?

Lizzie Mae Lilly <lizzy1933 at yahoo.com> wrote, in response to akh calling the pensieve scene the prank:          It's not the 'prank' scene, but Snape's Worst Memory. At least to my 
mind the 'prank' is when James saved Severus from a transforming 
Lupin.

akh confesses:
  I could NOT remember what that scene was called!  Thanks!!  I blame the chemo.. (actually, I'm tolerating it excellently and it's doing a bang-up job of clearing up my illness, so it's just a convenient excuse, but it's mighty handy)
  Lizzie Mae Lilly continues:
  Photos of the SWM being filmed were released last summer and Dan is 
standing off to the side as an observer.

Just my opinion, of course, but The-Powers-That-Be probably thought 
casting Dan as James was too much of a gimmick. That's assuming they 
even considered doing it.

  akh again:
  Although Dan standing around during shooting doesn't necessarily negate the possibility that he could take a break, since showing up is much easier than running lines, learning blocking and taking direction, you make an excellent point.  They may have thought Dan's too identifiable as Harry and the audience won't be able to get past "Dan's doing both roles!" to suspend disbelief in the scene.  Who knows?  Maybe Dan's negotiators asked for more money for two roles, and they decided another actor was cheaper!
   
  akh, who enjoys speculating although she has neither inside information nor any way of getting it - the HP producers have failed to call her when they're in Chicago...
