The Harry Potter Kids – Part 1

They were virtually unknown when they were cast in the first Harry Potter movie in 2000, but Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint have since become worldwide stars. When Radcliffe won the coveted role as Harry in The Sorcerer's Stone, he was plucked from almost compete obscurity. Grint was a fan of the books and wanted a part in the films so much that he sent a video of himself rapping about how much he wanted the role. Watson was just 11 and had almost no acting experience when the film was released. Today, all the Potter kids are stars.

Part 1 of this three-part biography gives an insight into the Harry Potter Phenomenon itself and tells the story of J.K. Rowling's magical series, a series that was adapted into one of the most successful movie series of our times.
