'Gollum' says he auditioned for Harry Potter

The actor who plays Gollum in the latest Lord of the Rings film has revealed details of a spoof take he shot for The Two Towers.

The scene involved Andy Serkis as Gollum pretending to be interviewed as if he was on American TV channel E!

In the comedic scene Gollum reveals that he auditioned for the role of Dobby in Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.

But he says he missed out on the role because he "didn't have big enough ears".

Serkis tells www.cinescape.com, the scene also involved Gollum getting a call from his manager: "The phone rang and it was his agent who just got him a reality TV programme".

It's not known whether the public will ever get the chance to see the spoof.
