Harry Potter: 9 Obscure Movie Secrets That Took Years To Discover
3. Radcliffe, Watson And Grint Were Just Being Themselves
When filming for Harry Potter an the Prisoner of Azkaban, the director at the time, Alfonso Cuarón, asked the main trio to write an essay about their characters for homework. In true Harry, Hermione and Ron style, the trio tackled the task appropriate to their characters.
Emma Watson wrote a 16-page essay going into detail about her role. Daniel kept it short but deep and wrote a meaningful piece that would have received top marks if they were being graded. Rupert didn't do anything and turned up to set empty-handed, claiming that his character would have done the same and therefore he had nailed the homework assignment.
This lesser-known behind-the-scenes secret captures just how perfect the casting was for the movie and explains why the actors nailed their characters and the chemistry on set so well. The film series wen through quite a few directors but none of the changes ever affected how the actors interacted on screen. Daniel, Emma and Rupert are highly skilled at what they do and were able to maintain their characters identity despite the disruptions along the way.
