Fun fact: Steve Harrington was supposed to die in Stranger Things S1.
He was written as a one-note bully, and the nail-bat Demogorgon fight wasn’t even his—it was meant for Jonathan’s dad.
Then they cast Joe Keery… and rewrote everything.
Paapa Essiedu also talked a bit more about his involvement in the HARRY POTTER TV series
“This is a big commitment, I’ll be 45 by the time I finish and I know my life is going to change in a big way, but I have to just surrender to that. I could have children by the end of this”
“I was an avid reader as a kid. My mum couldn’t afford a babysitter in the holidays, so she would take me to the library. I loved Harry Potter. I never saw the films but the books were escapism when other things were less easy for me.”
