Winstone turned down Harry Potter role

By WENN world entertainment news - Tuesday, May 13 10:20 am

Ray Winstone turned down the chance to appear in the Harry Potter movies - because he was not offered enough money.

The Beowulf star admits he was offered a role in a big-screen adaptation of the boy wizard book series, but declined the part because the money he would have earned wouldn't have matched the workload.

He says, "I nearly did a (Potter) movie. They earn fortunes from those films but for the time that is involved in making one they don't want to pay you. I'm sorry, but I make movies to get a living.

"Besides, I would have made two films in the time it would have taken to make one Potter movie."
