Darcey-Alden made her acting debut inappearing in small roles on the British stage and television, including her first stage credit in Aladdindirected by Peter Duncan for the Oxford Playhouse. At 7-years-old, she forged her parents' signature on a sign-up sheet which led to an audition. She auditioned for the latter part earlier in June that year, accompanied by her mother, and was cast at the age of 9.

Commenting on the experience, Darcey-Alden said: "It was very entertaining and a very good experience. I really, really enjoyed it. I want to be like Patsy Kensit when I am older because she is such a good actress. I am a big Holby City fan and I am really excited about seeing it on the television. All my friends and family are coming to watch it with me.

She later commented at a LeakyCon panel in London on which form of media she preferred more—theatre, TV or film: "I love both. I actually started out doing theatre first and worked my way into TV and film. It's great! Darcey-Alden's most notable role came in summer when she attended an open audition for the latest Harry Potter installment.

It was not yet decided by the producers that the final book in the series would be split into two parts and once this decision was made, Darcey-Alden was expected to "re-audition over a year later" in December and "luckily still met the height and role requirements. And even though I never expected much, I kept advancing through the audition rounds.

During the process, the children were asked to improvise short conversations. She subsequently received a screen test with then year-old Benedict Clarke who would be cast as young Severus Snape "as well as an associated costume, hair and makeup meeting" at Leavesden Studioswhere she met then year-old actor Daniel Radcliffe on her first day.

She said:. I got something for you, I got someone to see of you. And I thought, 'Oh my God! Hi, I'm Ellie! I guess I'll call you Mum! Dan went [ gestures ], 'Alright! Radcliffe reportedly setup the meeting, knowing Darcey-Alden had booked the part even though she was unaware at the time. A few weeks later in February, her mother was contacted by the producers and after school, Darcey-Alden was told that she received the part of young Lily Evanscast at age 10, in the commercially successful Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2.

She said: "I screamed, like I straight up screamed, then I cried. It's not something you expect; it's something you create [in your mind]. It's one of those things you go, 'Oh gosh, I wish I could do this. Like, how can I be able to do this? And then, when it actually happens, it's really surreal. Despite this, she resisted her family for a chance in the business, especially for a part in Harry Pottera role which her mother initially did not believe she would eventually win.

When production began, she was not allowed to tell her close friends of her casting in Potter as she left school for Leavesden Studios and Hatfield House to film her scenes. She said: "I am still trying to get over that I am actually in Harry Potter. When I got the part, I was so happy I was speechless. It was the best time of my life.

It was very funny. Everyone was so friendly to me and it was really fun. At first, it was really difficult to keep the secret. But when my friends did find out, they were so happy for me and supported me all the way through it. Of the river scene in particular, Clarke elaborated by saying:. And we had a camera crew coming across the river on a boat for one of those, and then they could play around [ I thought it was really outstanding how they had such a ridiculous extent of angles to play with.

Darcey-Alden added: "We only did half-and-half at Leavesden. Originally, it was planned for Darcey-Alden and Clarke to shoot a sequence on the reconstructed green screen set of King's Cross at Leavesden Studios with young Severus and Lily meeting inside the Hogwarts Express on their way to Hogwarts for the ellie darcey alden biography of william time.

Clarke was meant to call Darcey-Alden a " Mudblood " much earlier than this occurs in Rowling's novelsleading to a rift between their characters and in their friendship. A Hogwarts Express scene does appear in the final shooting draft of the screenplay; however, no dialogue is present and most notable child characters, including Petunia, make an appearance along with Severus and Lily.

Neither version was ultimately produced. Once location shoots were completed, Darcey-Alden and Clarke joined McIlwain and Gotobed at Leavesden on the set of the Great Hall where the set was divided with one section of the Entrance Hall in ruins for the Battle of Hogwarts sequences; two days of shooting were completed from morning until evening, scheduled a week apart where three hours of school tutoring was provided.

It's not my fault. She later said in detail:. It's the Sorting Hat. You know, let her breathe [and] if she comes up to you, don't talk to her. And I was thinking, 'Oh, I'm really nervous! And then she comes up to me and she's like, 'Oh, you have beautiful hair! Well done! You're really catchy [ sic ]! Good job! Oh my God! And [Smith is] such a lovely lady.

She just comes up to you and talks to you. A week later, a final day of shooting commenced in the Hogwarts corridor where multiple takes had the four child actors walk and run up the corridor numerous times. The original cut had McIlwain and Gotobed chase a first year Slytherin student, though this detail was eventually omitted. David agreed that was a good idea, and even gave me a second line later on in the day, where I was supposed to say 'come on James' at the end of the brief scene.

As you already know, both lines were cut for release in favour of [Radcliffe]'s voiceover [ sic ], which makes more sense in terms of the entire montage. To satisfy the look of her character as described in the books, Darcey-Alden is naturally red-haired although she was required to wear blue contact lenses to match Daniel Radcliffe's eye colour, given her eyes are brown, as revealed by her co-star Benedict Clarke.
