The Ultimate Harry Potter Behind The Scenes Moments

I have quite a bit to show you that you haven't seen before. Walking onto the Philosopher's Stone stage was a dream come true for daniel emma and rupert hogwarts was basically his playground the film itself could deal with some serious themes as a two- He confronted a professor seeking the death of one of his students, but for the most part behind the

scenes

it was full of laughter, jokes and adorable crushes on the set, although there was a teacher, the actors were petrified in front of the camera, ready to find out who my name is. Gary, I work for the rspca, if Hogwarts was your playground, the rest of the children in the cast were classmates of the golden trio, which as you can imagine created a lot of initial chaos, it was almost impossible to concentrate them all at the same time time, director.

Chris Columbus says they were constantly laughing and joking between takes and sometimes even during takes. Look how adorable they were. It may have required extra effort from the adults on set, but on the plus side, it made for impeccable on-screen chemistry. The audition process for Daniel Emma and Rupert couldn't be more different for Daniel, it was just another day at the theater with his parents when producer David Heyman, who had already had his eye on Daniel for the role, convinced them to come. He signed up to audition for the entire series and it was all going to be filmed in the United States, but Daniel's parents weren't really willing to move their 11-year-old son.

Luckily they ended up filming in the UK and everything went well. Emma attended a drama class to audition for her basically, um, my school received an invitation after she was hand-picked from her classmates. She went on to audition eight more times before securing her spot. Rupert's audition is probably the craziest story we've heard so far. He heard about the open call. auditions and sent in a video of himself dressed as his drama teacher performing a rap, then I made up my script and sent it out. He may have gotten him an in-person audition, but he didn't save him from the embarrassment of the golden trio.

He had almost no film experience, which caused many actors to be nervous on the first day of filming. He was terrified that not only were they acting, but that they were learning the ins and outs of memorizing lines and hitting the mark, not to mention all the professionals. jargon, they made so many mistakes that director Chris said he had to film with multiple cameras, each actor always had a camera, this was so he could capture as much footage as possible and put it all together, which is why the first film is a bit choppy. They couldn't get through an entire scene without someone making a mistake Rupert, don't smile and Emma, ​​don't stick your head forward Chris deserves all the awards for the effort he put into the movie, he had no qualms about how he really liked working with actors, but it went to the extra level for the amateur actors on set.

Most of the time he was behind the cameras acting out the scene with Daniel, Emma and Rupert so they could take references from him. Look at it. Always, you know, he laughed and said we should put a camera on Chris. We don't have access to every blooper from the set, but we're willing to bet that many of them would include Emma while she was filming, she had a habit of talking about others. lines and ruining entire takes, we're sure they appreciated how focused and anxious she was, but Emma says the whole process traumatized her. She really she wanted to do my job well and I and I went overboard.

She, of course, eventually got over it. a movie set without some jokes for this franchise at least in the early days daniel was a wisecracking mastermind i'm an angel i'm an angel you sure were dan he was so good that he managed to contact robbie coltrane aka hagrid's phone and I reprogrammed him from English to Turkish genie, plus he was constantly wandering around the set looking for ways to prank people by performing magic tricks and generally being cheeky, usually calling cut on set means everyone breaks character, But many times Alan Rickman, who played Snape, would stay in character between takes, which also meant that Dan and Rupert were terrified of him both on and off camera.

He constantly had to remind myself that it was indeed a movie. Rupert once drew a funny caricature of Alan Rickman while he was filming Rupert. Terrified when he realized that Allen had noticed the drawing over his shoulder. Fortunately, this was one time Alan decided to break character. I had him sign it and I have it in my possession. Alan took it home and said it was something he held dear. For him, our hearts wouldn't be a set full of tweens and teens without any crushes, we didn't know it at the time, but Emma Watson revealed years later that she had a huge crush on Tom Felton from the age of 10 to 12.

We Love a Boy bad and he was a few years older and had a skateboard and that really did it, but Tom referred to her as a little sister and her heart was broken in two. Many people wondered why he wrote Hermione's huge teeth into the script. Well, it was because Emma Watson couldn't talk to them properly. Teeth test. Keith's test. He did several screen tests with them and even filmed a scene with them that made it into the final cut, but in the end it just didn't work, we all know the irony of people telling Harry that you have your mother's eyes when Daniel in fact doesn't.

He had them, instead of the green eyes that Harry has in the novel, Daniel had blue eyes and it wasn't for lack of effort that Daniel did. I tried wearing contact lenses, but had a painful allergic reaction that forced me to film without them. You know the scene at the end of Philosopher's Stone where Harry says goodbye to Hagrid. His eyes were just swollen because he had been wearing them. Does that count? As a method of acting, the floating candles in the great hall are iconic and they knew they had to get them perfect at first, they were using real candles strung with fishing line, but those candles started melting and falling on the actors below, ouch! , that meant they only had one. or two takes to make the grand entrance perfect, so the reaction you see in the early years here is the real reaction of the children, it was the first time they saw that set, no acting was required, speaking of the great hall, the Director Chris says that those were the most difficult

scenes

to film, it's because they had to control more than 300 children in a single space, even the child actors themselves don't know how he did it, I don't know how he does it, he used various techniques to make everything was perfect, but then re-blocking for another take would take forever, let the feast begin, the great hall seems to be the place where everything went wrong, you know, that delicious food that always lines the tables in the movies.

Well, for the first movie, that food was very real. and it needed to last three days of filming under the heat of the fixed lights there was no way for the food to stay fresh which meant the room didn't smell very pleasant the philosopher's stone is like 99 focused only on children which meant in order to film the film at the time they had to apply for adjustments to UK employment law, they managed to get the children on set for nine hours a day, but only four to five of those hours were filming, the rest were They dedicated themselves to school and breaks, it's difficult.

Um, but we had brilliant kids and they did very well. Owls play a huge role in every film and to take the realism of the film to a whole new level, Chris managed to use real-life trained owls. It wasn't easy, but they did it. The magical scene I will launch into to deliver the students' post was filmed by filming owls individually and then editing them all together later. Owls are beautiful creatures but they are difficult to train. Filming a Harry Potter movie may sound like something magical. experience for a young actor and it was, but it was also a huge challenge after the huge success of the first film, the cast and crew returned to the chamber of secrets raring to go, but when it came time to balance the Schoolwork, tons of CGI, a cast of hundreds, and everything in between filming the second Harry Potter movie was no easy feat.

We're taking a look at some of the most amazing Chamber of Secrets behind-the-scenes

moments

you'd think the young actors and hard-working crew would have been in. They were given a break between filming the first Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film, but no, they started filming the second film just two days after the release of the first and going back to work was like getting a team back together. great family after having made all the introductions. Along the way in the first film, the second time around allowed them to not only make Chamber of Secrets funnier but also much darker and more action-packed.

Director Chris Columbus was so excited to be able to direct more action and Daniel Radcliffe was definitely on board when it came to making the audience laugh, while they mostly stuck to the script, some key lines from Chamber of Secrets were actually improvised first, the hilarious moment where malfoy turns to goyle or

harry

disguised as goyle and says what the naked race was invented by tom feltton because he forgot his line and second, when jason isaacs says that

potter

will always be around to save the day, it occurred to him on the spot, luckily Daniel Radcliffe was there with him when his response no Don't worry about what I'll be was totally out of his head according to Daniel, all the flying car sequences took about a month to film , which meant he and Rupert were stuck together in a small car for four weeks.

Luckily, he thought Rupert was very funny. and the two of them kept laughing even after flying straight into the whomping willow oh yeah that was a lot of fun it's clear they had a great time because dan said those were some of the best days of filming I think and they were barely there started, rupert and daniel weren't the only ones who became fast friends because it turns out that even though they might be rivals on screen, dan and tom feltton, who plays malfoy, actually get along very well, but we're not really enemies, we love each other, we really did.

They had a lot of fun filming their Quidditch scenes, spending hours hanging from the ceiling in front of a giant blue screen joking between takes. After the huge success of the first movie, they were able to spend a little less time worrying and a lot more time having fun. on the Chamber of Secrets set even doing things that seemed like the complete opposite of having a good time, for example, the scene where Ron has to vomit up a bunch of giant slugs might be a nightmare for most of us, but for Rupert was a whole other story, but it tasted pretty good, in fact they even let him choose the flavor.

Three new major characters were introduced in the second film. Lucious Malfoy, Gilderoy Lockhart, and of course Dobby, but this movie was made before the days of motion capture and super realistic CGI. Acting opposite Dobby was actually a big challenge for Daniel Radcliffe. The challenge on the part of the visual effects team and the challenge on the part of Dan Radcliffe. Dobby wouldn't be created until after the movie was filmed, so she spent the entire time performing in front of an orange. Nowadays, they might film all of Hogwarts on a green screen, but back then they did almost everything for real.

One of the most complicated tasks was building Dumbledore's office, which required over 250 people to do that room alone, in addition to building the space, they had to commission a handful of different artists to paint all the portraits and paintings. that hang from their walls. Playing quidditch may seem incredibly fun, but it turns out it took quite a while to get used to, according to Daniel Radcliffe. In the first movie, it was actually really painful to spend so much time sitting there on a little broom suspended by cables, but luckily, by the time the Chamber of Secrets came out, they had figured out a way to make it a lot less painful and a lot less painful. more fun by putting in more comfortable seats and footrests and using cables to keep your weight off the broom According to Chris Columbus, the main trio quickly went from inexperienced actors to seasoned professionals from the first film to the second one I've developed.

As a person, everyone on set became a little easier and flowed more the second time around, and what once took 10 to 15 takes to nail down, only took three or four in Chamber of Secrets, Even though they could have become best friends that didn't mean that Daniel Emma and Rupert were free from making fun of each other from time to time, in fact, they did it all the time. Why are you so determined to embarrass me? because everyone was growing at different rates. running to keep up with each other, especially Emma,She was the only girl in the group, but don't worry, Rupert and Daniel didn't gang up on her and she could completely defend herself.

I am a video taller or I will become the young one. The actors were really excited to see their characters grow and change from where they were in their first year at Hogwarts to their second. Daniel Radcliffe intended to make Harry more grounded the second time around in the first film, he was simply reacting to things around him. and in the second, he really began to take charge of the world from him. Emma Watson said that Hermione definitely relaxed a bit for the second film. Hermione definitely becomes calmer. Ron took on the role of big brother with Ginny now enrolled at Hogwarts and also with his new owl who, as Rupert Grint said, is really stupid and clumsy.

One thing everyone on the cast and crew agreed on was that Chris Columbus was the best director for the job, not only was he a great leader, but he knew him too. exactly how to talk to young actors and get the best work from them. He manages to get the entire set completely psyched while some directors sit in another room staring at the monitor and never speaking to the cast. Chris did the exact opposite and was super hands-on the entire time. Having been working together as a giant family for over a year in Chamber of Secrets, the actors finally started to feel like they could step out of their comfort zone a little.

One thing the success of the first movie allowed us to do was sit back and be a little more relaxed for Dan, he was so shy during the first movie that he never offered his opinion on anything more than a funny joke or two, but when the second one came around , he felt much more comfortable and started to share his ideas and thoughts with the director and really get into the work in the second I have a little more confidence in presenting ideas according to emma watson one of the biggest challenges of being a young actor in a giant hollywood set is trying to fit everything in because while most kids his age would be in school full time.

All of the school-age Harry Potter actors had to receive tutoring on set during the day while filming the movie for up to 12 hours a day running from the set to the tutoring trailer. for a 15 minute lesson back to hair and makeup and back on set all day after all of this, it sounds like making Chamber of Secrets was an amazing experience for everyone involved and we're sure none of the members of the team I would change it not even for In a second we completely entered our own world. The Prisoner of Azkaban is one of the best Harry Potter movies, but it was also when things started to get serious on set.

Things became happier. The actors played pranks on each other and Emma Watson even had fun punching Tom Felton. Even though it wasn't in the script, how did they manage to make such a dark movie and turn it into a behind-the-scenes explosion? Let's find this Lumo scene at the beginning of the third movie. Some fans wondered if the rules of the wizarding world weren't understood by Harry. in trouble for using spells outside of school, but regardless, filming the scene was fun and a little sweaty, I wouldn't touch it, it's too wet. Harry seems to be in his own private cocoon, but on set, Daniel had director Alfonso Korán tell him what to do.

Under that blanket he was sitting on a lighted platform that made him feel a little warm and the technicians controlled the light on his wand. Hermione punching Draco will forever go down in Harry Potter history as one of the most satisfying

moments

in the series, but according to Tom Felt the scene was not supposed to include any punching, in fact it was originally stated in the script that Hermione, Uh, slap Draco. The idea for the punch came about when both actors decided they wanted to add a bit of intensity to the scene, apparently Emma has a pretty good punch. and he enjoyed every minute emma was looking forward to that moment

harry

potter

could be the one but not even he is above his teachers pranking him for this scene in the great hall michael gambin and alan rickman teamed up to put on a machine farts in daniel radcliffe's sleeping bag to play during filming, not even Dumbledore could keep a straight face to make harry invisible requires a lot of cgi and a green cloak which can be a little hard to take seriously in this scene They used a rope to get the rum.

Hermione's hat and hair moved, but the actors had trouble not laughing when Daniel took off his green cloak and appeared like three children on a snowy day. That was not funny. The first person who really wowed Daniel on set was Gary. Oldman, but isn't it appropriate that Daniel admired the actor who plays his on-screen godfather? The two ended up developing a bond similar to that of Sirius and Harry. Daniel also said this about films three and five, which he believes were his best performances. I think that's partly due to the fact that I have Gary open to talking about Black Sirius's scruffy appearance in the movies, including messy hair, a dirty beard, and those impressive Norse-inspired tattoos, even though his body art It was never mentioned in Alfonzo's books.

Quran and Gary Oldman decided to make the character their own, I look like I escaped from prison, don't you think Oldman came up with Sirius' hairstyle while Kiran designed all the tattoos himself? Director Alfonso Quran had much of the vision for the film. Even though he had never read the series before being hired, working with kids definitely had its challenges, he had a jar of bad words to try to avoid cursing in front of the young cast, but he still had a great time. in the set. going with him you know how I should do it just tell me what to do he would go you don't have to do it yourself he helped get the young actors to where they needed to be emotionally and even let them improvise some of their lines like in this scene where he encourages Emma to Follow your instincts if it helps you maintain them.

The final design of the dementors was also heavily influenced by the Quran. The team tried a lot of different techniques to get them right, like having them on. The strings then moved like marionettes in water before finally settling into CGI. He was a little hesitant about CG, so he wanted to do everything old school. It's the slow movement, extra long layers and layers of fabric that end up making the end result so perfect. He greeted the prisoner of Azkaban, Buckbeat, and introduced us to the care of magical creatures and Buckbeak, but creating the hippogriff behind the scenes was fun and challenging.

The animatronic model actually moves and was made from hand-cut and painted feathers. It took a great team of four. Months and a half to create three of them for filming. Watch Daniel setting up this motion rig on set so they could then finish the scene with CGI. Alfonso Korán seems to be full of good advice and always knows exactly what to tell his actors to get a good performance. One piece of advice he gave Daniel was to imagine his celebrity crush, Cameron Diaz, in a bikini during scenes like this, when I needed to look surprised or bewildered, and it worked.

Another fun fact is that Emma Watson's crush was on set with her, he admitted. She had a thing for Tom Felton, he was a few years older and had a skateboard. Rupert Grant loved feeling like a family while filming movies, but he admits that he sometimes felt a little suffocating. He even compared it to Groundhog Day because he felt like going back and doing the same thing over and over again. He revealed on the Armchair Expert podcast that Prisoner of Azkaban was actually the last Harry Potter movie he saw and never continued beyond that point. Daniel also admitted to having had some problems with anxiety and getting used to fame, but he doesn't regret the experience himself.

Everyone always hopes that he doesn't want to talk about it or anything, but you know, I don't really care since Emma almost did the same thing as Hermione. She liked him and quit when he was 16 to concentrate on his education. During the first films, the cast had to do their homework on set between takes and even at their Hogwarts desks, but for the third film the director decided to merge their homework and character study. together there is a famous story about the Quran assigning the trio to each complete an essay about their character, of course Emma did the most by writing an amazing paper while Daniel did the least and Rupert didn't finish his at all so Please I did it.

I did it, I did it, so I have the next name listed with the 16 pages of yours. Being in school also made their schedules pretty crazy every day, when filming was over, they had to go to tutoring. Everyone was going. We are going to a lovely school. This Whomping Willow scene was fun to film and maybe a little dangerous. Emma jumped on a fake branch to swing, but most of the close-ups of the duo escaping were achieved by having the camera act as a branch. In itself, it was a fun high-speed scene to film, but all the expertly choreographed Lupine transforming into a werewolf in the movie is impressive, sure, but it's even more impressive to see him transform behind the scenes, there were a lot of prosthetics involved, watching you turn unrecognizable, it was uh. exciting, they filmed half the scene before putting his makeup on and then continued while he spun.

They also had to create this very convincing werewolf suit. We're in the screaming cabin. Aren't we for scenes in the screaming cabin? The team didn't. just rely on cgi, they built a real moving frame to make it look like the shack was swaying and creaking while the actors were inside, but it was also much safer than filming in a real abandoned building, welcome to emergency night bus transportation for La stranded witch or wizard, did you know that the night bus is actually a real bus and they really drove it around London? Check out these quick turns and all the swaying that would definitely make passengers a little dizzy.

A double-decker bus was not enough. Instead, they took a regular bus and cut it in half, lifted it up, then added a center section and drove it around the city. Here you can see interior scenes filmed on a soundstage using a hydraulic moving platform. Peter Pettigrew is a sinister villain. He may not be the brightest or the scariest, but he put Voldemort's plans into action. However, it's not so easy to take him seriously behind the scenes, especially when Sirius tries to get revenge on a fake rat, but we have to say it's the real rat. actor who plays scabbers that's very cute you're alive prisoner of azkaban actually gave many animal actors their big breaks, especially these surprisingly well-behaved crows and bats, they were trained by the film's animal trainer, Gary Garrow, but it was definitely hard to get. to get them going where they needed to at all times and to get the young actors used to all the fluttering around their heads as they tried to remember their lines.

Another interesting fact: Crookshanks, whose real name is Crackerjack by the way, has such pretty fur that I had to add these lumps to him before filming, take some gelatin and put it in his eyes to make them look watery, so he's not so handsome . What about the cast that was almost Hogwarts and almost had a different director with these two white wizards? Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Christopher Lee were considered to play Dumbledore in the third film, but it was Richard Harris, who died after playing Dumbledore in the first two films, who

ultimate

ly had the final say;

He was not a big fan of McKellen, so the actor decided not to respect him by not taking the role. Christopher Lee was focusing more on playing villains at the time, so he passed too. In his place, we have Michael Gambon, who brought the perfect amount of wisdom and charisma to scenes like these and had a good time doing it. Happiness can be. Found even in the darkest of times, The Prisoner of Azkaban was filmed on location in Scotland, where it rained for 28 days straight. The sets were constantly destroyed, the actors had to be followed with umbrellas and even had to use helicopters like this one to fly. into gravel to fill in areas that had been washed away by all the water, but one upside to all that rain was that it created a consistently gloomy and gray tone that ended up being perfect for the movie The Yule Ball Is First and foremost a dance that You might think that Battles, monsters, and magic spells would have been the biggest challenges behind the creation of Harry Potter, but one unexpected scene turned out to be the scariest of all.

The Christmas dance. I think I'll take the dragon right now. That's right at the time when he rolled the cup of fire. Around the cast and crew they were already total professionals in filming those big andcomplicated action scenes, but dancing disguised as romance, well that was another story, you'd think having to pretend to cast spells, fight huge dragons and other magical creatures and survive countless near-death experiences would be the hardest parts to act in the Harry Potter films, but it turns out that there was one thing that terrified the actors more than any threatening obstacle they had faced before and that was dancing while everyone knew it was coming.

When it came to having to learn not only dancing but also ballroom dancing during the Yule Ball, none of the young actors were looking forward to it. That's not entirely true, according to Emma Watson, there was a big difference between girls and boys. All the girls were very excited to try it, but the boys, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with it. The girls are very anxious and the guy just isn't there, he doesn't want to do it at all and we don't really blame him. Not only did they have to ballroom dance for the first time in their lives, but they had to do it in front of hundreds of other kids and a whole team, I can tell they were terrified.

I think all the kids were pretty scared to have to dance. formally, but no one had it as difficult as rupert, who if you remember in the movie had to take a dance lesson in front of everyone with professor mcgonagall herself, maggie smith apparently felt as uncomfortable as ron because when he lay down next to oliver and James Phelps, who played Fred and George, whispered to them not to say a word about what had just happened, so of course they had to make fun of him and it doesn't seem like it was that easy for Maggie.

Either one was pretty grueling, but don't worry, they weren't just thrown in front of the camera and told to waltz perfectly, they actually had three weeks of full-time dance training before they started filming the waltz scenes. Christmas dance working with professional ballroom dancers. The teachers and choreographers definitely helped them down the steps, but that doesn't mean they all turned into mini Zac Efrons prancing with all the confidence in the world. Oh no, many of the actors would have stopped dancing altogether if they had been given the chance. the possibility that matthew lewis, who plays the notoriously clumsy neville longbottom, definitely didn't enjoy the whole experience of learning the complicated ballroom steps.

Luckily for Tom Felton, he knew he wasn't the only one feeling a little dumb and that everyone around him felt just as dumb as him, so it wasn't all bad while everyone else mastered him with weeks of group training. . Poor Daniel was so busy filming other scenes that he was actually only given four days to catch up and learn the moves before filming them and not only does he have to dance, he has to dance in front of the entire school with the other champions, so the pressure was really on For the young actors, the first dance scene.

Luckily, Harry was never supposed to be the world's greatest dancer, so all of his adorable faux pas and less-than-smooth moves were totally perfect for the character at the time, who was also completely terrified and exhausted. They finally got through all the formal dance moments and were able to move on to the funniest Weird Sisters concert, after all the stress and strain of making sure Walt's every move was perfect, the entire cast was finally allowed to let loose. . Loose and Mosh for the first time at Hogwarts and yet even that sounds a lot easier than it really is when you're a hundred teenagers in wizard robes trying to forget about the giant chambers around you, but they totally managed to pull it off. . and give the scene the burst of energy it needed.

One of the things we love about the Harry Potter movies is that we got to see the characters really grow over the course of eight movies and that goes for the actors too, which is really what set Goblet of Fire apart from all the movies. In other previous films, for the first time the actors and characters were teenagers and that caused a lot of changes that became very obvious when it came time to film the Yule Ball, the producers and All the other older actors noticed a big difference in the way the young cast behaved around each other and how awkward things were starting to get, which they thought was totally perfect for the energy of the entire film and especially the formal dance that celebrated the trilogy. magician tournament when you watch the scene and see how awkward it is for the boys and girls to interact once they are all dressed up, most of what you see is totally real when it comes to inviting cho chang to the dance that daniel did Radcliffe.

I don't have to work hard to take advantage of how awkward it can be to ask your crush out, and Rupert Grint actually thought the acting part was a lot easier than having to ask someone out for real in real life. , it's quite scary, there is really no way. Lest we talk about the Yule Ball without talking about the incredible costumes that made everything come to life, the costume designer knew that fans' expectations were going to be very high for this moment, so she and her team worked hard to achieve a high level. from fantasy to the big screen and there's no doubt that the entire cast was really excited to be able to change out of their school robes and put on their best robes for an evening of, well, almost the entire cast while everyone else got dressed and watched. the best he could, we all know what happened to ron.

Mum sent me a dress and it's safe to say Rupert Grint wasn't too happy about it either, but there was a revelation that left everyone breathless in a good way when Hermione first appeared. With her pink dress, many fans were a little disappointed because it wasn't the blue they had imagined when reading the book, but what they didn't know is how many different versions of the dress were designed before finally settling on light. a pink one that actually suited Emma Watson's version of Hermione better, it wasn't all glitz and glamour, however, when Emma tripped over her long skirt and almost fell down the stairs in her first take, I was absolutely terrified once that everyone was dressed up and ready.

To go, the actors were taken to the famous and impressive great hall and for a handful of actors the set really took their breath away. The team had actually built huge crystal icicles that hung from the magical ceiling. They brought in Christmas trees several stories high. and added lots of incredibly ornate decorations all over the walls and tables, transforming the already impressive great hall into the ice palace that everyone who read the book had imagined. Of course, some things in the wizarding world couldn't be done like that. true, so with the help of a little CGI magic, the great hall really came to life for the final film.

The animators added gently falling snow that never reached the ground. A night sky filled with bright stars above the dance floor and torches glowing warmly along the hallways. In order to truly capture how enchanting Ewo's dance would have been, all the hard work that went into making the Yule Ball, from the dancing to the costumes to the incredible scenery made even more beautiful through CGI, was They came together to create. something that really was magical after all that, they must have been excited to fight dragons again in the dark lord, you know, how easy the floor is, um, it's like a special material, so I mean, people have than wearing this type of blue shoe covers.

More than a decade later, we're still discovering behind-the-scenes secrets of the Harry Potter franchise. Today we cover all the essential Harry Potter trivia. In the Order of the Phoenix, how did the actors cause chaos on a construction set? Daniel Radcliffe's scream has to be silent, so that's your knowledge for today. Working on a film in the Harry Potter franchise means a lot of time on set, which also means a lot of time to fill with activities and shenanigans. When filming Harry Potter in the Order of the Phoenix, the cast had a variety of activities to keep them busy when They weren't learning potions and fighting the dark lord when they weren't playing quidditch the young wizards were out playing another sport of cricket which is right here we can see matthew lewis and alfred enoch improving their cricket skills or trying at least we wonder what They often took homework breaks for one of the tutors, which I haven't done.

Daniel Radcliffe and Gary Oldman not only bonded on screen, they spent quality time together off screen as well. How many films have you made fortysomething must be on by now? as for nymphadora tonks actress natalia tenna the music was more her style here she is in her trailer playing some of her own original songs evidently the cast is full of surprise talent, it wasn't all fun and games, although remember that many of the actors are still They were in school and needed to do homework regularly, the crew took a planned nine-week break from filming for Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, the two actors had To do some important school exams, I worked hard every day I was there. at that school, while the actors worked, they learned some new skills in the wizarding world with wand choreography, as the fifth film in the series incorporated many skills. leveled wand work paul harris a dance choreographer was hired to teach the actors how best to work with the styles and techniques to bring their magic to life.

They had five basic moves to use and each character added their own special touches to each one according to their personality, this job was definitely so intense that many of the actors ended up breaking their wands, which forced them to use rubber wands, which They were more durable than the wood that broke the most throughout the movies, I think it's about 10. At the time of this movie, the record holder for most broken wands was Devin Murray, who had already gone through 10 different wands. . Wands can be a very dangerous business and no one would know this better than Matthew Lewis, who suffered a perforated eardrum after Helena Bonham. carter accidentally stabbed his ear with a wand talking about bonham carter the actress had some enhancements for the movie she had chicken fillet inserts put inside her bra while filming what is this garbage what is this garbage he says this could be considered as something like that character work the weasley twins were always practicing to improve their deception game the actors were famous for pulling little pranks on set, but one really blew everyone away and actually got the twins and their little sister into a little problem there was a large construction site in front of a studio where the movie was being filmed and the weasley brothers made their way onto the site's walkie talkie channel, there were a lot of devices around the set so the actors thought it would be fun to tell the construction workers that they could go home and it was probably until the boss caught them and gave them a really good talk and told them that the mischief was taken care of; otherwise anyone can read it, there were a few more laughs that happened on set that weren't related to gimmicks, the ones that came with the kissing scenes, remember how the threesome?

I giggled talking about Harry kissing Cho. I'm sure Harry's kisses were more than satisfactory. Everything was real, the actors were still laughing and it was so funny that the crew kept the cameras rolling and did the final editing. Not a surprise considering that. It was a lot of preparation. Katie Liang was quite nervous about the kiss and she really prepared herself mentally beforehand, but then when the planned date for filming came around, the kiss had to wait because Radcliffe ended up sick. Daniel is a very good kisser when it comes to stunts. Rupert. Grint had a rather strange experience filming the scene where Hermione throws Ron across a room.

Usually there would only be one harness, but to help show the trick realistically, Grint was strapped to a much larger man going up and down a ladder. It's quite difficult to think of Harry Potter without Emma Watson, Ruper Grint and Daniel Radcliffe at the center of the films, but the fact is that The Order of the Phoenix was almost Watson's last film with the franchise, the actress had seriously considered leaving the paper to concentrate. other activities after taking time to weigh the pros and cons, Watson felt that it would have been too strange to see any other actress play the role she had grown up playing, so she made the decision to stay until the end.

We definitely are. I'm glad I did it, I definitely made the right decision, another gem of the wizarding world is Luna Lovegood, she was therule of her life for the actress since she had actually been a fan of the series since she was eight years old and her favorite character was You guessed it Luna, well, if I were, you know who I would like you to feel isolated from everyone else, She had to bring a little more of herself to the role and the talented actress actually made the radish earrings we see. Her use of building the incredible sets we see throughout the fifth film is extensive and always impressive, sometimes it can even be quite dangerous.

The Ministry of Magic building took 22 weeks to build and was only on screen for about 10 minutes in total. The setting, of course, was rigged. was about to explode, meaning that if the cast had their cell phones on set, they could have accidentally activated it and blown up the set. There were also some buildings that were too expensive to be in the movie. Sirius Black's residence in London. Grimeld Place was built by the film crew as the building they needed to film in would have been too expensive, it says a lot considering the fact that building a set like this isn't that cheap either, speaking of the black family, this beautiful family tree It has the names of more than 70 different people. members of the black family, jk Rowling created for the film, never used the visitor entrance before, should be fun, the ministry of magic came to life with two very different techniques, painted cardboard and completely in cgi, while practically all settings the movie is epic, the department of mysteries where this savage battle takes place was actually the first shot of the movie created entirely with cgi, we don't blame them considering how important that cleanup would have been.

I'm a little surprised the team didn't choose to use cgi for the 30,000 individual tiles that were added by hand to the ministry. The so-called mosaics were actually made of cardboard covered with very thick paint, as real mosaics would have been. Too expensive, the team's ingenuity doesn't end there, but how does Maddie Moody manage to ride a broomstick with a prosthetic leg? A specially customized broom instead of the stirrups used by the other actors. Actor Brendan Gleason wrote a broom that had poles on the front. for his legs and a seat for him to sit in, stay in formation, don't break ranks, one of our absolute favorite references in the entire movie has to be Harry's nod to a beloved character, Remus Lupin, you know, the first one time I saw you harry i recognized you right away if harry's teaching fad looks familiar then it's probably because it's heavily inspired by professor lupine's close war during harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban radcliffe brought the idea to his producers because he thought it would be a good way to pay tribute to the professor, he admired as many people as me, well let's just say I'm used to it, the creative choices in this film really made it stand out, one in particular still manages to move us every time we watch it harry's scream after sirius black dies the choice to silence the heartbreaking moment was reported because the actual recorded scream was so painful it made emma watson and helena bonham carter cry, we can't even imagine seeing and hearing the scene in Persona, the original audio has still never been released released publicly, since for this terrifying moment, the strange eye color change that Harry has is courtesy of CGI rather than contact, since of course Radcliffe couldn't wear contact lenses like every movie.

Completely consistent with what's written in the novels, one of the most notable changes in this film was, of course, that her hair has shades of purple instead of the signature pink she described in the novel. The team felt that pink was too associated with Dolores Umbridge and not. Not wanting there to be any connection between the two characters, the purple hairstyle took about 30 minutes to prepare every day with some of her real hair that had been dyed, as well as a purple lace wig that she had. Another change was the inclusion of a creature in the film, although its role is not huge, it was important enough to be added to the script after jk Rowling insisted it be included so that other scenes that needed to happen in the future would make sense. his scenes were actually added after principal photography, so of course how could we forget Nigel?

Well if you have only read the books then you wouldn't know who Nigel is as he was a character created just for the movie with no mention in the book series as to the characters that were in the novels, Bellatrix Lestrange which we got in the movies, she was almost played by another actress very close to home. Helen McCrory was originally scheduled to play Bellatrix, but after learning that she was pregnant, the role went to Helena Bonham. Carter, fortunately, we got to meet her later as Narcissa Malfoy. Both roles are impeccably cast in the end. Protect it from any damage.

I want inside information on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We've got you covered. We all know and love. The Harry Potter series featuring the Half-Blood Prince is one of the classics, but did you know all the magic and effort put into the behind-the-scenes production that made the film come to life? To begin with, it seems that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is full of special and practical effects that make the movie stand out, as the production team has directed this Harry Potter movie that has about the same amount of special effects as any In other films, these special effects are distinguished from the other films and the way they are integrated into the scenes, the use of CGI and other effects, is much more integrated into the real world, the acting and the sets than the The movie uses explosive devices in all the different parts of the bathroom, so as soon as you spell, someone uploads the behind-the-scenes footage of these effects making the movie even more interesting to watch in its final form.

It's crazy to think about all the possibilities that arise when it comes to a simple green screen. Green screens were used throughout this film to create the CGI effects that wow viewers in the film's quidditch scenes. Using blue screens was really imperative to creating the right shots. In reality, the actors were simply sitting on bicycle seats and equipped with a harness. on something that looked like a broomstick placed in front of a blue screen, all the magic of the quidditch game and the intense background and action were mostly added digitally, it's quite complicated for me because there is nothing to react to before a really interesting and unique iteration of green screen is in the half-blood prince's magical bookshelf scene in this behind the scenes look we can see green hands reaching out from the bookshelves that Hermione is standing in front of at the end these hands would be digitally erased Leaving behind the effect of books being magically placed back in their rightful places within the library in the burrow burning scene, we can see a green and blue screen stretching into the background of the shot.

This blue screen was used to enhance the location environment where the scene actually was. which takes place in the Burrow burning scene where the Weasley family home is attacked by Bellatrix Lestrange. Special and practical effects were used to set the stage for the gruesome attack on the family home. The special effects team used live fire to simulate the ring attack. of fire that stretched around the set almost 420 feet long, special effects specialist John Richardson stated that the ring of fire was definitely a learning process as the crew had to learn and relearn what ways to make it. fire works better on set. "You Arrogant, the character, if you can call it, of Aragog was also a big component of the practical effects that made the film really stand out.

The practical effects team needed to create a completely new giant spider for this film" says makeup and creature effects designer Nick. Dudman is essentially the same character and looks essentially the same although we've enhanced him a bit, says Dudman In creating this spider creature, the special effects team chose a material to produce the spider that was translucent to try and mimic what A Real dead insect might seem like it took a team of more than a dozen people to work on Aragog, including tasks from filling the mold to touching up the final details; In fact, it took a team of six to seven people just to work on placing the spider hairs on the giant creature which took entire weeks, the amount of effort that went into creating this giant spider was truly worth it when combined with the acting scene in the movie, seriously misunderstood creatures, the spiders are the eyes, I think they make some people nervous, as Nick Dudman very often states.

Only an inanimate object like that can have a slightly emotional moment, which is nice, bringing magical life to the cave scene was a very important step in the process of creating Half-Blood Prince. The production team did a lot of research into the caves. They explored different rock formations to use, which led to the idea of ​​the crystal cave. They visited a quartz crystal cave in Switzerland and a salt cave in Germany to find inspiration. They also took inspiration from the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland for the iconic cave scene on set. It was too large a scale to fully build, so the team began using CGI to animate the environment, having gained confidence since their first fully CG scene in Harry Potter Five, you should have let me, sir, oh no, Harry, your Blood is much more precious than mine.

As the film begins, viewers watch as the Death Eaters make their way through the wizarding world and the Muggle world by destroying a pedestrian bridge while flying through the sky. It's interesting to take an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of this scene as Much more was involved than one might initially expect, what you may not have realized about the scene is the incredible amount of effort that went into achieving it. those shots across the British skies. It was necessary to use a helicopter and a stabilized camera to achieve this. the perfect shot and then obviously some CGI magic to place the Death Eaters within the scene.

The acting in all the Harry Potter films worked to differentiate these films, mostly filled with child stars, from the rest, it is not surprising that the performances of Stars such as Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint also shine in Harry Potter and the Prince mestizo, but what were your experiences like behind the scenes and on set? Let's dig deeper, can't you trust me? Let's start with the acting involved in Harry and Jenny's love story. The blossoming of Harry and Jenny's romance takes a central role in Half-Blood Prince and the first kiss shared between the two counts as a pivotal scene in the film, as the Actors behind the kiss said that it was not as gentle and romantic in real life, as it seemed in the movie, when everyone comes in and looks at the scene, you know, the lighting or the equipment, it's a little embarrassing, but I think after You have to accept it for a while.

Daniel Radcliffe revealed that the kiss. The scene was a little awkward for him since he knew actress Bonnie Wright, who has played Ginny since she was just a little girl of about 10, so it's a little strange doing all that, but it's okay, this scene was the first one that Bonnie filmed. On set, making the tension almost palpable for the young actress, she said that I think the first time is always the worst, but after that it's like any other scene you're filming, so it was actually easier to which I realized Harry was also involved in. some behind the scenes nonsense with co star emma watson in the magical library scene watson hit radcliffe in the head so hard by accident he even said you can actually hear the crunch of paper against bone you're laughing because you hit me so hard Difficult, aren't you okay?

Similarly, Lavender and Ron's kiss scene was also filled with a bit of tension and awkwardness. It's a very strange thing, but everyone was looking at you and it just didn't feel very right. This kiss scene was in full. A new level of weirdness compared to Harry and Jenny because it took place in front of dozens of extras. Daniel Radcliffe in particular was extremely excited about this kiss scene and made sure to be present off-camera while the kiss took place on screen. Don't know. I think Rupa had done a kissing scene and that was completely new territory for him.

We talk about friends encouraging each other. Jessie Cave, who plays Lavender, revealed that it was actually the most awkward filming the rehearsal scene when it was just her, Rupert and thedirector, because That was a much more intimate kiss than the one he had in front of the cast. She claimed that the awkwardness of the kiss wasn't really a big deal to her, but the real fear of her kissing Ruper was, anyway, I was more worried about, honestly, breaking a tooth. I was really worried, another interesting but much more serious note about the performance during Half-Blood Prince was Maggie Smith's health during filming.

The actress who plays the famous Professor McGonagall in the series was actually receiving treatment for breast cancer during the time of filming she was working on. her on set while she was undergoing chemotherapy at the same time, which was no small feat, as the actress said that she was constantly in pain and that she also felt deathly ill. Smith tried to downplay the situation and was even quoted as saying that she had no hair and that she had no problems receiving the treatment. The wig on was like a boiled egg. It's clear that the special effects and actors work to make this movie truly special, but what about the rest of the production team that also made the magic of the Half-Blood Prince come to life?

It's clear. that the production decisions from the writers to the director worked to make this chapter of the harry potter series truly special. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince director David Yates truly shared a unique bond with the actors on set, which also made their relationship as their career choices inherently important to the HP6 production, not just to me as the narrator. but also for the actors, I wanted to see them perform more comedy, some of their decisions were a bit controversial despite their overall popularity among the actors on set. revealed that screenwriter Steve Cloves actually argued with Yates over whether or not they should include more flashback scenes showing Voldemort's background in the film.

Yates ended up vetoing the writer's wishes and opted to include fewer Voldemort flashbacks in the film. who are you good i'm like you tom i'm different try it film editor mark day also played an important role in the creation of the half blood prince and his decisions also influenced the way the film came out for sure with a total of five editors of the harry potter series in total stayed to edit two of them in total day worked for 14 months editing the film making decisions about when to cut different shots within a scene and being responsible for over 1,700 edits within of film editing is very subjective and therefore what you may think is a good cut, not only may the director and editors have important roles in the production process, but they may also recognize less to the team members, such as the stunt performers, who they are in charge of.

All the Quidditch stunts that the actors have to perform including some of these impressive and not so impressive saves performed by goalkeeper Ron Weasley behind the scenes and we can't forget the important makeup artists like Amanda Caballero who make all the magic of the story. really comes to life before our eyes, as we can see here, Amanda transforms actress Emma Watson by giving her the dark mark with a temporary tattoo. I must say it would be a wonderful way to travel in a sidecar like the iconic Harry Potter movie. The franchise was nearing its climax The set provided plenty of fast-paced stunts and heartfelt goodbyes Today we cover the must-see moments from The Deathly Hallows Part One How they pulled off the Harry Seven scene What was the last day on set Like I was so mad on the last day, it really was, everyone was in much of the deathly hallows, part 1 takes place in the real world or the muggle world for you wizards, and to achieve this, the production found itself filming. across the UK and the cast acted in very real environments, but some sequences were too dangerous for the actors to do themselves, as was the case with Harry's dangerous journey with Hagrid to the Weasley House while Daniel Radcliffe was away.

In the sidecar for a take or two the rest of the time was his stunt double Mark Maylie. I have yet to travel more than ten feet, but those three meetings were some of the most fun I've ever had. Seven identical motorcycles were built for different stunts. on the scene, including by flying, flipping upside down, crashing into the water to land and traveling at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour in the Royal Liverpool Queensbury Tunnel, although Radcliffe missed these stunts firsthand, he found the side positive in being portrayed by maylie and also a positive side in having mark um w is his legendary for having a very very nice bump the location for the godric's hollow set was largely dictated by a real cedar production designer stewart craig He found the tree in the garden at the legendary Pinewood Studios and built the small town with that in mind, using it as the centerpiece of the cemetery.

The team also did quite a bit of stuff in resident Befilda Bagshot's creepy house, lining the rooms with dusty boxes of clothes and even making books that the character had written herself. Bethilda Bagshot's house Daniel Radcliffe did his own stunts when he faced off against Nagini, Voldemort's pet snake, to give Daniel the experience of being attacked by cgi Nagini. Stunt coordinator Greg Powell used a stick with a boxing glove tied to the end to push and shove Radcliffe. I've had some crazy things replace what the creature is supposed to be, but in one take, Powell went a little overboard and ended up giving Radcliffe a fat lip when the chair he was using as a shield hit him in the face.

Radcliffe took the minor injury in his stride though, so I had the fat lip for about a day, but he's really calm, so I feel nice. Well, because I have a photo on Sunday when it comes to filming in real world locations. Piccadilly Circus in London is apparently a big deal. Do you have to see the movie where we closed Piccadilly Circle for the first time in 32 years? Radcliffe Rupert Grint and Emma Watson walked around the world-famous site surrounded by 500 crazy extras. The all-night cafe where the trio fights Voldemort loyalists has its own real-world Easter egg.

The team put up an equus sign, a play. Daniel Radcliffe was starring at the time, placing Hell's Dobby and the Creature in the same space as the actors required the collaboration of substitute actors who voiced the elves and eventually CGI of the house elves themselves. I'm a dobby move. It's not that he's a creature, but I'm better, stand-ins Diane Gibbons and Mindy Joe Hall worked with the other actors on set and the visual effects team used their performances as a reference to create the final sequences with the real dobby and creature actor, Simon. Mcburney and Toby Jones finally voiced the house elves and Toby Jones even came on set for Dobby's emotional final scene.

I want to bury him properly without magic with 261 crazy filming days in the Deathly Hallows production. The cast and longtime friends had to find ways. To keep things fresh on such a long shot, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint opted to invent their own mini table tennis paddle game, hilariously nicknamed Danger Ball, for the second but first outdoor Danger Ball. Clips of 2009 champion Rupert Grint managed to find time to fool around. On set you could also find Grint and his off-screen twin brothers, Oliver and James Phelps, playing on Segways and sneaking into the studio at night. In fact, we've been riding bikes throughout the entire set and before filming Rapt Rupert.

The Phelps twins and actor Draco Malfoy, Tom Felton, had the opportunity to go golfing together, although some were definitely worse than others. He's not a very good girlfriend. In fact, things got a lot more competitive during the chase scene in the woods involving Ron Harry and Hermione. escape from the death eaters it didn't take long before the trio rewind each shot like a race everyone is going to say the fastest one i am them they said emma is probably wrong i'm fast it became so competitive that director david yates had to remind them that The most important thing was what was best for the movie and not who was the fastest, but Daniel was more than happy to settle it once and for all at a later date, call it red carpet, next premiere, we'll do it.

I'll make a racing man go 100 yards. I will do it when the time comes to do it. Harry and Hermione's passionate kiss. Ron wasn't really there to see his own Horcrux-induced vision. The intimate scene required both Daniel and Emma. being topless and covered in silver paint, so to make the two of them as comfortable as possible, everyone who didn't need to be on set, except Rupert Grint Watson, confirmed the decision by saying that yes, it was a closed set and that's it. it was pretty awkward without having tons of people coming and watching the first of the original cast rap forever it was appropriately the dursleys this isn't just a goodbye boy, is this a goodbye? fiona shaw richard griffiths and harry melling were the first along with radcliffe to film the harry potter series 10 years earlier in the philosopher's stone or the philosopher's stone, depending on where you are in the world in the time since the family relationship evolved out of the screen, also with Radcliffe and Griffiths acting together in a play. and melling and shaw did the same while the epilogue of the second part was the final scene, it was not the last thing to be filmed, the last day of filming took place at the Leaves Made studios, the same place where they started the first film 10 years before.

Your basic rear end has been reserved for me, so that's what I have to do today. After the final shot of Harry Ron and Hermione jumping to escape the Ministry of Magic, the team surprised them with a candid video chronicling the last 200 days of production. I loved every minute and thank you all so much. Daniel Radcliffe really got the chance to show off his acting chops when he was tasked with playing seven versions of Harry that were being impersonated by seven different characters. Seven Harris, this is the most complicated one. scene in the world to achieve this, Radcliffe was trained by each actor on the gestures and movements of their characters, it was very funny, it is very confusing, although he managed to impress not only the actors but also David Yates, Dan plays the women very good actually while radcliffe pulled them all splendidly he shot some faster than others specifically emma watson's hermione harry your eyesight is really terrible it's often the details that really elevate a film to the next level and the deathly hallows doesn't These decisions were different, and key artistic contributions came not only from the crew but also from the talented cast.

Magical tents had been introduced into the Goblet of Fire and in the first part the Deathly Hallows returned in a big way. Set decorator stephanie macmillan and production designer stuart craig designed a beautiful magical set. bill weasley and fleur delacour wedding stage tent you know they have a beauty, the lights that float and the tables are definitely a french influence in stark contrast to the big purple wedding tent it's harry ron's simple little tent and hermione traveled with her for most of the movie, yes I'm still here. McMillan and Craig's goal was to make it look almost identical to Goblet of Fire, at least on the outside.

It's amazing how much wealth and interest you can get. From a couple sheets of canvas, basically, actor Warwick Davis has played more than one character during his time in the Harry Potter films, and the only role in which he's probably least recognizable is that of Griphook, the head goblin maker. From molds, he led a team of artists to work together to give Davis his elf face. Each piece of the prosthetic mask had to be carefully placed one at a time in a process that took approximately four hours to apply and another hour to remove. prosthetic mask and the contacts that came with it made it so difficult.

See, all the elf actors, including Davis, needed a companion to move around the set. Hello, ready for the office. The talented actress Evanna Lynch, who played the quirky Luna Lovegood. She is a charm. In fact, she keeps the Nargles away. She was well known in the production for making artistic contributions. character, but those contributions extended to the ensemble itself when she inspired the design of the love good house. Lynch created drawings of magical beasts in the style of the moon herself that were used as references for the paintings that eventually covered every inch of the lovegood house, but evanna lynch made sure not to ignore her beloved character by inventing the moon dance and her father.

He showed up at Bill Weasley's wedding andfleur delacour. She is so in touch with her spirit that she is not really affected by other people. Hopefully one day daniel radcliffe and rupert grint will make an official rulebook for dangerous ball so we can all play. I haven't really thought about it because we still have a long way to go in this very difficult time for the castle, literally like Hogwarts, the Harry Potter movies are full. of secrets and facts that not even the most dedicated fans know about The Deathly Hallows Part 2 was an epic finale for the franchise, but behind the scenes it was full of major challenges, unprecedented moments, and a very emotional cast ready to dive in.

This Chamber of Secrets, Rupert said, "I don't know how we're going to do it" and I said, "I have no idea either." Since 2001, Harry Potter had been making the impossible possible with his groundbreaking visual effects and his mind-blowing costume. . and the makeup department, so it made sense that for their final film they would take all those special effects to another level. The room of requirements scene was much more than a final caper between the Gryffindors and the Slytherins. That hidden classroom symbolized Harry's childhood at Hogwarts. place where he had spent hours and hours in a room that at the end of the scene would be completely destroyed to make it even more shocking.

The filmmakers filled the set with memorabilia from the previous seven films, including the knight the Golden Trio used in their Philosopher's Stone chess game, but props aside, the rest of the scene was filmed with a lot of green screen. rope and mechanical brooms which, according to Emma, ​​were not the most comfortable. The mechanical brooms worked much like an amusement park attraction. removing the edge the actors had their butts shaped to create a seat they could sit in before they even said go, it's like grabbing the thing that says don't let me fall, talk about blasts from the past, another set that had to be recreated.

From the first films it was Gringotts Bank. The raid on Lestrange's vault required a lot from the props department. Not only did they have to dig up and restore props from the first film, but they had to build 210,000 different gold trinkets in order to fill the vault. de Lestrange as much as possible before incorporating the visual effects for Gemino's curse, while Gringotts pulled a lot from the props department, the Battle of Hogwarts was on another level, the Battle of Hogwarts might be the most difficult but rewarding sequence. Of the entire franchise, the planning for these moments occurred two years before the film was released, when they changed their physical replica of Hogwarts for a digital one.

Digital Hogwarts was the only way they could make the battle as realistic as possible. In a practical Hogwarts, we would have filmed it last summer and instead be so tied down, as David Yates finds flow and structure. We are able to handle new concepts and ideas, which gives me tremendous freedom to move the camera in and around the place when it is being destroyed. That was quite helpful. Things like the magical shield were also incorporated into the digital Hogwarts later, however, they still needed to create the rubble of Hogwarts apart from the digital aspects, but the scene required a lot of running and mayhem, meaning the filmmakers had to make sure.

No one was hurt in the process because of this, each piece of debris was made of a phone-like material for added safety during Voldemort and Harry's final battle. Ray Feinz and Daniel Radcliffe were surrounded by mats that they would later edit even then. Dan still needed his double to intervene in certain parts, that was the scariest part, it was scary, the tumultuous ending was so chaotic that some of the actors didn't even film their scenes together, specifically the moment when Harry is talking to Helena Ravenclaw about the missing tiara you know where it hit her actress kelly macdonald filmed her part separately in the studio in front of a screen because daniel was not available that day, she filmed her part at another time and the two clips went together seamlessly, and yes I told you that robbie coltrane wasn't the only one who played hagrid, in fact, during the battle of hogwarts, robbie only played hagrid when they needed shots of his face for body shots, they used a double who was capable of balancing kilos of stuffing while walking on stilts and carrying a limp Harry Potter and the many things I like about him, you know what I mean?

We've discussed how epic a job the props department did on this movie, but let's take a look and highlight some of the best. the work of the makeup department at least the best according to daniel radcliffe, they had the task of making kieran hines as aberforth look like michael gambon as Dumbledore the before and after of kieran is amazing the process included a prosthesis on the forehead, bags Not only did he look eerily similar to his on-screen brother, but he was also able to play the character to perfection. The delicacy of the work they do is truly special.

The Battle of Hogwarts was not only chaotic for the filmmakers but also for the actors. It took months to film and because of how complex it was, the cast didn't have the Harry Potter fairy tale rap day they were hoping for, while the Battle of Hogwarts was the last scene for many of the cast, they all rapped sporadically every day. days. after calling cut, the names of the cast members who were rapping that day were read from a list which is Alan and David Doulas on the last day in Harry Potter and Tom Felton said there wasn't even time to get excited because of the strange what was it.

Actor Mark Williams called the rap quite disappointing in a slightly heightened state of consciousness because at any moment you'll have to leave. Poor Rupert didn't even get to be in the cast and crew's final film because he wasn't on set at the time. Instead they included a cardboard cutout of him, but for Rupert it wasn't the final cut that excited him most, it was cleaning out the dressing room he had spent the last decade in that did it for him - he said he found toys. in the room since he began Harry Potter's journey at just 11 years old and that made him realize that saying goodbye to Potter also meant saying goodbye to his childhood.

It's been my life every day, every hour, so that's what it's about. He wasn't the only one who thought that way either. Matthew Lewis also had many moments of reflection about how much he had grown up with Neville and how much he appreciated every moment, except for the fat suits he had to wear and they said, "Okay, we." I'm going to have to do something about this and that's when they came up with the fat soup idea that I had to use for several years between farewell speeches and tears danielEmma and Rupert still managed to exchange some touching rap gifts.

Emma bought the children personal diaries with inscriptions and got them framed photographs of memorable moments they had filming. And Rupert bought them trumpets, recorded trumpets, even he doesn't know why he decided to go for the musical instrument ruta rupa he gave me a trumpet that he had recorded himself I don't play the trumpet talking about memorable moments emma watson shared what her most memorable scene was while filming deathly hallows part 2 and it wasn't the most pleasant experience emma watson says that the worst scene shot in the entire movie was when the dragon they were flying on throws them into a lake.

It was so cold that Rupert thought his heart stopped. They were not allowed to wear clothes underneath because the next scene required them to change, she just couldn't wait for this scene to end, although the tone was often emotional on set. Rae made sure to keep everyone on their toes. How did she do that with improvisation, of course, as always? Voldemort's final speech. for the Hogwarts students and their Death Eaters it was creepy and nothing short of epic from that day on you put your faith in me but it turns out that was it, in every take he deviated from the script and improvised his speech to keep the rest of the cast alert and alert jason isaacs called his performance completely terrifying if you thought the hug was super awkward between voldemort and draco there is a reason why yes, it's because voldemort is literally the most awkward being in the harry potter universe, but it was also because Rafe completely improvised it and caught Tom off guard, which got an even better response from Tom for Helena Bonham Carter and Emma Watson.

Although their scene was nothing improvised, the two actresses became extremely close on the set of this film due to the fact that they would have to play each other at Gringotts. Emma took this very seriously. She wrote notes about Hermione for Helena that she could always have on her phone and even acted out the scene for her before the time came. You have to call me Emma. Although this film was packed with the UK's most talented actors and crew members, it was not without its challenges. The Deathly Hallows Part 2 had the largest cast in the franchise.

This was mainly due to the Hogwarts battle scenes where there were more of them. More than 400 actors on set at once, this created a lot of chaos.
