Harry Potter: When director assigned the cast homework and Emma outshone Daniel

When the Harry Potter movie started, the three main actors—Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint—were still underage. No wonder that some of the early directors treated them like children. In the 20th anniversary special edition of “Harry Potter: Return to Hogwarts”, the actors revealed what happened when director Alfonso Cuarón assigned them homework on the set of the third film.

The first two films of the franchise were directed by Christopher Columbus, and Mexican film producer Alfonso Cuarón joined in 2003 to direct the third film Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The actor revealed that in order to understand the actors and their understanding of the characters, he actually assigned them homework. Daniel Radcliffe recalled, “He wanted to know us, so he set up this exercise and let us write an article about characters.” His co-star Rupert Grint added, “He’s like, you’re better than me now Knowing these characters better, I will never understand who they are, so you tell me.”

However, the three protagonists—Daniel, Rupert, and Emma—take a very different approach to their mission. Daniel recalled, “After about half of the A4 (size paper), I thought,’Yes, I cover almost everything. I mean Joan (JK Rowling) has written 500 pages about this, but I I think this article almost sums up this point. It’s great!’ I’m proud of it and brought it in.” However, to his surprise, Emma—faithful to her as a hardworking Hermione Character-beyond him. “Of course, Emma wrote 12 pages, beautifully written,” Rupert said. Director Alfonso Cuarón said that each of the three actors wrote this article as their role did, so much so that Rupert Grint didn’t even submit his work. “Rupert didn’t provide anything. I said, ‘Where is Rupert your mission?” He said, ‘I thought Ron wouldn’t do it’,” he said with a smile. The 20th anniversary of Harry Potter’s special return to Hogwarts began on the afternoon of January 1st on Amazon Prime Video in India. It marked two decades of the release of the first film in the franchise.

In addition to journalists and legal professionals, the two hour-long episodes, which air in June, will also include those who are close to Taylor and Scooter. The project will analyse the roles of gender dynamics, fanbase impact, and artist rights while delving into Scooter’s $300 million acquisition of her music archive from Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Records in 2019. Its goal is to fairly reflect all sides.

The claims made by Swift that Scott prevented her from obtaining the rights to her first six albums will also be examined in the series. Additionally, viewers are expected to receive a “comprehensive masterclass on music rights.”

The show is a part of the “vs” series from Warner Bros. Discovery UK. The famous projects Johnny vs. Amber, which centres on the court case involving Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, and Kim vs. Kanye: The Divorce, which details Kim Kardashian’s split from musician Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, are also featured in the series.

More on the conflict between Taylor and Scooter

When it was revealed in June 2019 that Scott’s Big Machine Label Group had been purchased by Scooter’s media firm, Ithaca Holdings, for $300 million, the public drama came to light. Taylor’s first six albums with Big Machine Records—her self-titled debut, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation—became Scooter’s property as a result of the agreement.

Later that day, Taylor Swift posted an emotional message on Tumblr, saying, “This is my worst case scenario.” Scooter was described by her as a “constant, manipulative bully.”

Taylor was angry at the time and said she had been taken by surprise by the agreement, having made an unsuccessful attempt to obtain the rights herself. She continued by starting a discussion regarding the ownership of creative rights by artists. In addition, she started a campaign to rerecord each album and urged her followers to stream the updated Taylor’s Versions rather than the previous releases.
