Harry Potter: Why Verne Troyer Was Replaced By Warwick Davies As Griphook

When the Verne Troyer Harry Potter role of Griphook was recast, it caused a lot of fans to wonder why. When Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone arrived in 2001, it created a franchise that would dominate the box office over the next decade. Audiences also got to see stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint grow up onscreen as their characters did. One big rule that dominated the casting for the Harry Potter series was that the majority of roles be played by either British or Irish actors. A rare exception was made for the part of Griphook in Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone.
