More Harry Potter Rumours By Acheron, (DT) July 20, 2000 5:46 AM PT |

New Jerseyite,Liam Aiken, is one of the dozen remaining finalists that is contending for the role of Harry Potter in the upcoming Chris Columbus movie. Apparently he's half British, but even that goes agains the wishes/prerequisites that J.K. Rowling and the producers have put in place. Aiken has starred in the previous Columbus film, Stepmom. Apparently, though, Aiken is still considered a longshot due to his lack of qualifications, but one never knows. Other actors going for the roles are Tim Roth as Professor Snape, Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall and Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid. But like the information on Aiken, these are completely rumours. Warner Bros is denying an "finalizations" on the casting of any roles at this time. Once again, don't screw this one up, Columbus. Pick the best kid for the role, but keep the wishes of the author in the front of your mind. Picking an American kid and a possible American setting would be like Spielberg setting Jurrassic Park in downtown LA. |
