From time to time, she dives into the world's most popular franchises but Kara primarily focuses on evergreen topics. The fact that she gets to write about The Office regularly is like a dream come true. After graduating college, writing began as a part-time hobby for Kara but it quickly turned into a career. She loves binging a new series and watching movies ranging from Hollywood blockbusters to hidden indie gems.
She also has a soft spot for horror ever since she started watching it at too young of an age. When Kara's not busy writing, you can find her doing yoga or hanging out with Gritty.

The Harry Potter film series was then tasked with recasting the role of Dumbledore in the hopes that the next actor could stick around for the remainder of the franchise.
A number of popular and established actors were considered for the role, including Christopher Lee, who was a top pick but couldn't commit due to scheduling conflicts. Fellow Lord of the Rings star Ian McKellen was also considered but felt uncomfortable taking the role due to his rocky relationship with Harris. After Peter O'Toole's age and health status became worrisome, the producers went with Michael Gambon as Harris' official replacement as Dumbledore.
Gambon, another Irish-born actor, played Dumbledore for the remaining six films in the Harry Potter series. His portrayal became one of the actor's best-known roles, but his version of the character was drastically different than his predecessor. This threw many viewers off at first, but his prominence and longevity in the franchise won fans over. Melissa Joan Hart. Will Smith. Marry Me. Lady Gaga. Christian Siriano. Now You Know.

So, I went in and read for David Yates and the casting director, and gave them a best shot, David left a message that I'd got the part. Fans have to look pretty closely to spot Bill Weasley's real first appearance in the Harry Potter films, but in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , there is a photo of the Weasleys which includes Bill standing next to his fiery-haired family during a trip to Egypt.
The actor who appears in the shot is Richard Fish, who said in an interview at the time that he'd hoped to reclaim the role if and when it was expanded in the subsequent films. Despite his interest, though, the role was given to then-up-and-comer Domhnall Gleeson for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Gleeson later said on AOL's Build series that he had originally auditioned for a different role in the fourth film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , but was unsuccessful.
When he followed his father Brendan Gleeson into work on the movie as "Mad-Eye" Moody, however, he was asked to work as a stand-in since he looked like the Weasley siblings, and he was later invited to come back and audition for the role of the eldest brother. Red hair was my only qualification!
When the "Fat Lady"—that is the unfortunate nickname of the Victorian-era woman in the moving portrait that opens the door to the Gryffindor common room—first appeared in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , it was the celebrated actress Elizabeth Spriggs who portrayed her. However, Spriggs' portrayal was brief and rather rigid in blithely asking for the prefect's password, so before the character would return to enjoy a little more light-hearted screen time in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , the actress was replaced with someone experienced in being funny.
Instead of Spriggs, it was actress Dawn French who took on the role for the third film, bringing a more comedic element to the character as she desperately tries to impress the Hogwarts student body with her glass-breaking operatic skills, later ducking behind a neighboring painting's hippopotamus when things get dicey.
French earned the role after her Harry Potter spoof for charity caught the attention of Christopher Columbus, who directed the first two movies and co-produced the third. When the ghost of the Grey Lady first appeared in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , no one could have predicted how important the character would later become. True to the first few books, she was originally depicted as just another one of the many poltergeists that pesters the students of Hogwarts, with actress Nina Young floating around in the CGI role.
However, it would eventually be revealed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which hadn't even been written when the first movie was shot that she was so much more than some random apparition.
The Grey Lady was Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter Helena, who had given Tom Riddle access to her mother's diadem so that it could be made into one of his horcruxes.
Considering the enhanced importance of the role that emerged in the later books, the film part was given to a more accomplished actress instead of its originator.
