10 Funny Harry Potter Bloopers That Make The Movies Even Better
Turns out Emma Watson had Ron and Harry's lines memorized. Who could be more perfect for the role of Hermione?
The Wizarding World never ceases to amaze with its magical appeal. This applies not only to millennials who have been exposed to the Harry Potter ongoing books and movies as children, but also to younger generations as today's kids are no less delighted to read J.K. Rowling's books and watch the films.
Speaking of the latter, the Warner Bros. film series wouldn't be nearly as magical without the cast, who have been the source of many laughs, tears... and bloopers! Here are 10 of the most hilarious on-set errors from the Harry Potter movies.
10 Harry Potter Bloopers You Will Never Forget
1. Making Rupert Grint laugh is too easy (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, 2001)
2. Bra's not coming off! (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, 2010)
3. Potter farts (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, 2004)
4. How to shock Potter (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, 2001)
5. Radcliffe is a champion dancer! (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2005)
6. A thousand takes of Robbie Coltrane (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2005
7. A softer side of Maggie Smith (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, 2007)
8. Hermione being Hermione (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, 2002)
9. Those slurping sounds are too loud! (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, 2010)
10. Hermione's deft punch (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, 2009)
It's been almost 23 years since the first Harry Potter film, produced by Warner Bros., Heyday Films, 1492 Pictures, but even now each installment looks incredibly advanced. Along with Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter ushered in an incredible level of cinematography and VFX that continues to amaze us two decades later.
However, every film production is not without its share of on-set mistakes made by both crew and cast. From the very first films, the actors and production team bonded like one big family, often pranking each other or simply letting their emotions get the better of them and suddenly bursting into laughter.
Did you know that not only Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe were easy to make fun of, but also the always serious Emma Watson? However, nothing compares to the infectious laughter of Maggie Smith, contrasted with the sturdiness of Professor McGonagle. As for Robbie Coltrane, Hagrid's actor, he was so giggle-inducing that one scene with him required over 1,000 takes!
All of this is a great indicator of how close-knit and welcoming the Harry Potter team was, regardless of age or experience. And even though some of us have a very complicated relationship with J.K. Rowling in the current climate, few would deny how much joy the cast and crew brought us in their time.
All films in the Wizarding World media franchise, including Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, are available on the Max streaming service.
