🎭 Rowling was actually offered the role of Lily Potter (Harry's mum) in the first film, but she turned it down, feeling she wasn't cut out for acting.
🪄 Daniel Radcliffe went through about 70 wands and 160 pairs of glasses during the filming of all eight movies!
🕯️ The floating candles in the Great Hall were initially real candles, but they kept dropping hot wax on the actors below, so they had to be changed to CGI.
🧪 Many of the potions in Snape's classroom were actually made from plastic and food colouring, but some contained real ingredients like dried herbs and baked animal bones (yuck!).
🏆 Despite the original eight films being nominated for 12 Academy Awards in total, none of them ever won an Oscar!
👦 The actor who played Neville Longbottom, Matthew Lewis, had to wear false teeth, shoes that were too big, and prosthetic ears to make him look less attractive during filming. Talk about dedication! |
