Eddie
Redmayne
might
be
hitting
the
screens
tomorrow
as
a
lead
and
protagonist
in
the
JK
Rowling's
Harry
Potter
spin-off
or
can
be
better
named
as
the
Harry
Potter
prequel.
But
would
you
believe
if
I
say,
he
was
once
rejected
for
an
important
role
in
Harry
Potter
movie
earlier?
Yes,
the
very
talented
Academy
Award-winning
actor
had
once
auditioned
for
the
character
of
'Tom
Riddle'
in
Harry
PotterAnd
The
Chamber
Of
Secrets
but
failed
to
impress
there
and
never
got
a
callback.
He
was
a
university
student
back
then,
trying
to
break
into
acting.
"I
actually
auditioned
to
play
Tom
Riddle
when
I
was
back
at
university.
I
properly
failed
and
didn't
get
a
callback.
Over
the
years,
I
always
hoped
I
might
be
cast
as
a
member
of
the
Weasley
family,
but
unfortunately
not," Eddie
Redmayne
said.
The
talented
Redmayne
would
have
been
an
easy
fit
in
the
Harry
Potter
series
either
in
the
Weasley
House
or
at
least
in
the
evil
army
of
Voldemort.
But
then,
everything
happens
for
a
reason.
If
he
had
landed
on
a
role
in
the
Harry
Potter
movie,
he
would
have
never
done
Steven
Hawking's
The
Theory
Of
Everything.And
this
movie
fetched
Redmayne,
an
Oscar.
Well,
this
story
really
made
my
day
as
I
am
writing
on
it,
what
it
teaches
us
is
that
dreams
do
really
come
true
even
for
once
in
your
life
if
you
don't
give
up
on
it.
He
might
have
missed
the
role
in
Harry
Potter
films,
but
he
did
find
himself
in
the
league
with
much
bigger
role
than
Tom
Riddle.
