JK Rowling, of course known as the author of the world famous Harry Potterbooks, was also heavily involved in the film franchise. She also had a say and came up with a lot of rules.
Not so long ago there was an article on FilmTotaal about Robin Williams. Despite the fact that he was interested in the role of Hagrid and was eager to appear in the films, this was not allowed due to one of Rowling’s rules. She only wanted English and Irish actors.

It doesn’t stop there. Now director Chris Columbus, who directed the first two films, reveals that his daughter was not allowed to talk during filming. She had a small role in the first film, but because of her American nationality she was not allowed to say anything.
Columbus now comments on this: “This was a joint decision between Jo and I. We talked about it and both wanted to go for a 100% British cast. So I stuck to that“.
Nope
Yet Columbus somewhat ignored this rule, because his own daughter, Eleanor, makes an appearance Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. So she can be seen in the blockbuster, but was not allowed to say anything.
She appears briefly as Susan Bones, who is placed in Hufflepuff by the Sorting Hat. Columbus continues: “She worked about 80 days. But hey, rules are rules, she’s not British so she wasn’t allowed to say a single word…“
