Ben Barnes Addresses Those Sirius Black Rumors Amid 'Harry Potter' Reboot


Ben Barnes has signed many 'Harry Potter' books over the years despite never actually starring in the franchise

Shore Fire Media/Irvin Rivera“Now I understand that it was this group of Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Andrew Garfield and myself that they were just very keen to be these characters when they kind of came out,” Barnes shared, noting that he’s a “massive” fan of Gary Oldman, who actually played Sirius Black in the films, and enjoyed the books. Andrew Garfield revealed that although he was in the running for a role in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, he was later told that his looks led to him losing the part to Ben Barnes. And I talk about that in the shows a little bit, but watching people do it in real time and really pick up that mantle and just get out and do the things that they love to the soundtrack that I made was incredibly rewarding.”
