It was Columbus’ daughter, Eleanor, in a non-speaking role she had the honor of being one of the first Hogwarts students to put on the sorting hat. And while you won’t hear any non-British accents while watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (released as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the U.S.), you may have missed the one American actress that made a cameo. “Jo Rowling and myself said to each other when we first met, ‘Look, we want this cast to be 100% British.’ And by the way, I stuck to that,” Columbus recently told Insider.
Original director Chris Columbus, who is American, was happy to adhere to this ruling, although he did twist it a bit. Rowling set a strict mandate that only British actors get cast in the adaptations of her novels. That said, what is surprising is that creator J.K. This is no real surprise given the story is set in England. What do Daniel Radcliff, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and pretty much every other star from the Harry Potter movies have in common? Easy, they’re all British.
