12 Actors Who Refused "Harry Potter" Roles




It’s almost impossible to think of the Harry Potter movies without the actors who played the legendary characters. What would the films have been like if Helen McCrory played Bellatrix Lestrange instead of Helena Bonham Carter? Or if David Tennant hadn’t made the jump from Doctor Who to portraying Barty Crouch Jr.? I seriously can’t picture anyone else in those roles. Also, who would turn down a role in Harry Potter?! I think that’s the real question here.


Well, believe it or not, these 12 actors really did decline parts in Harry Potter. Find out who they are and which parts they were offered to play. 











1. Ian McKellan 


After playing Gandalf the Grey in the Lord of the Rings films, Ian felt that he had played enough wizards for the time being, even though he was a favorite to portray Dumbledore. 




2. Kate Duchêne


Known for her role on the TV series The Worst Witch, Kate was reportedly approached for a part in the second Harry Potter film but declined. 











3. Patrick McGoohan


The classic actor was considered for the role of Dumbledore but turned it down due to health reasons. 




4. Tim Roth


Before J.K. Rowling handpicked Alan Rickman, Tim Roth was in the running for Severus Snape. He dropped out so that he could star in Planet of the Apes instead. 




Could anyone besides Emma Thompson play Professor Trelawney? It almost happened…

16 Times Getting Drunk Really Paid Off

The worst thing about getting drunk is pretty much any decision you make while drunk.  But once in a while you get lucky and by some fluke, a messy night takes a turn for the better.   Maybe you discover a cool talent or go on an amazing drunk adventure. More likely, you discover a edible-looking hot dog lying on the sidewalk calling to you.  But whatever your drunk win is, it creates an experience so magical that alcohol-soaked you feels like the only person in the world… even though  you probably don’t remember a thing about it the next morning.  1. Your inability to stand up straight resulted in the best dance moves ever The alcohol gods are on your side when your unconscious self manages to do the worm. 2. You’re drunk and your oven is broken… And you really want pizza… 3. So you deep fry your pizza Drunk you is so smart. 4. A beautiful work of art This person got drunk and turned into Leonardo da Vinci.

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
