Harry Potter continues to make netizens curious about interesting stories behind the scenes.

As one of the most popular film series of all time, with a large number of fans around the world, even though it ended many years ago, Harry Potter still continues to make netizens curious about the stories behind it. Behind the scenes.

1. Ralph Fiennes doesn’t want a nose that’s too “fake”

Lord Voldemort is certainly a famous villain, and the most terrifying name on Hollywood screens. Voldemort is the nightmare that throughout the eight Harry Potter films, no one dares to confront. Not only does he terrify people with his cruelty and cruelty, but the appearance of “someone – everyone – knows – who – is” also makes the opponent “freeze”.

Voldemort is described as having a face as round as a rugby ball, with white skin. The most prominent feature is that he does not have a nose, but instead has two slits like the nose of a snake. To be able to create this nose, the film crew went through an extremely difficult period.

It’s not easy to create a disguise for Lord Voldemort

Actor Ralph Fiennes – who plays Voldemort – has a high and beautiful nose, so “removing” the nose is extremely difficult. Accordingly, the Harry Potter crew came up with two options, one is to use makeup techniques, the other is to use CGI effects when filming.

As an excellent actor, Ralph Fiennes did not want a prosthetic nose to hinder his role. The actor believes that using makeup alone cannot represent Voldemort’s terrifying appearance, and using CGI effects is too “fake”.

Faced with this request, the Harry Potter team finally chose to both use extremely meticulous techniques and combine it with “high-tech” makeup art to bring the most realistic appearance to viewers.

2. Daniel Radcliffe ‘s parents were against filming in Prague

Participating in filming from a young age, child actors like Daniel Radcliffe must rely on support from their families because they are too young to make decisions for themselves. Therefore, there were times when Daniel Radcliffe’s parents made requests on behalf of their children.

At a discussion, the Harry Potter film crew planned that after the release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , the next films would be filmed in the Czech Republic.

Barrandov Studios is extremely confident with this decision because they are headquartered in Prague and the first part of the famous Mission Impossible movie was also filmed here. As such, a move to the Czech Republic is likely to provide a major boost when it comes to introducing production of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Also at this time, Daniel Radcliffe was about to turn 16, so the actor’s parents thought that moving to another place would affect Radcliffe’s growth process. Luckily, Radcliffe’s influence was enough to keep Harry Potter being filmed in the UK.

3. Emma Watson requested more books in Hermione’s bedroom

The casting crew of the Harry Potter film series is always praised by the audience because they all choose faces that look like they came out of the books. Every actor plays their role perfectly, including the trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

One of the most famous and controversial scenes about Hermione in the film series is in part 1 of Deathly Hallows, when she is forced to erase her parents’ memories to protect them. It was also in this scene that Hermione’s house was first seen by the audience.

Emma Watson said that when she saw Hermione’s bedroom, she realized that there must be more books than were placed there. Hermione is a girl who loves reading, so no matter how much she increases the number of books, it is not enough. Then the film crew agreed on this and we have a room full of books.

4. Wherever there is Helena Bonham Carter, there cannot be Emma Thompson

Actress Emma Thompson and actor Kenneth Branagh play the prophetic Professor Sybill Trelawney as well as the handsome yet deceptive Gilderoy Lockhart. In fact, both of these actors have been husband and wife since 1989. They were considered “the golden couple of the British film industry” at that time, affectionately called “Ken and Em” by the public. Unfortunately, that love story only lasted until 1995.

The reason for this separation is Helena Bonham Carter – who plays the hated Bellatrix Lestrange.

In terms of work, this did not cause much difficulty for Kenneth Branagh since he was the only one of the three to appear in the Chamber of Secrets. However, due to past filming scenes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2 , Emma Thompson only came to the set on days when Helena Bonham Carter was not filming.

In fact, this adultery scandal did not happen while Harry Potter was being produced, but many sources believe that Helena and Kenneth have been involved and in love with each other since 1994 when they played lovebirds in the movie Frankenstein . It was this love affair that caused the breakup of the two “Hogwart Professors” in 1995. Helena and Kenneth then fell in love until 1999, then went their separate ways.

5. Alan Rickman caught Rupert Grint 5 meters away from his car

With the school scene in Harry Potter, and having to act with many teenage actors, Alan Rickman got into a situation that was “half laughing and crying”, causing him to issue a ban on touching his “darling” car. ” within 5 meters.

Specifically, on the set of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Rupert Grint (playing Ron Weasley) and Matthew Lewis (playing Neville) “accidentally” spilled milk on his expensive BMW. That’s why, on the set of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , Alan Rickman forced Rupert and Matthew to stand at least 5 meters away from his “pet” car.
