Daniel Radcliffe Recalls Being Pitched ‘One of the Worst Ideas’ He’d Ever Heard | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip
Daniel Radcliffe called a proposed Wizard of Oz remake with him as a karate-kicking Cowardly Lion one of the worst ideas he heard during the Harry Potter filming era.
- During the Hot Ones episode Thursday, Radcliffe revealed, `Somebody came to us and I think asked, like they wanted to cast all three of us, me, Emma and Rupert, as, in a remake of Wizard of Oz, where Emma was Dorothy, I can't remember what Rupert was, and I just remember that I was gonna be the lion but also he knew karate.`
- During the Potter production era, Radcliffe recalled being about 14 or 15 and immediately thinking the Wizard of Oz remake offer was a bad idea.
- Notably, Grint was suggested for either the Tin Man or the Scarecrow, and Radcliffe recalled being a karate‑kicking Cowardly Lion.
- The anecdote surfaced as the original Golden Trio have been in contact while the HBO Max adaptation began production in July, renewing media coverage and public interest in their early choices.
- The HBO adaptation has been billed as a faithful expansion treating each of J.K. Rowling's seven books as seasons, and earlier this week Radcliffe urged the new cast be allowed to work without overshadowing.
