Alfonso Cuaron

One of the best harry potter facts , the director of ‘Happy Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban’ – Alfonso Cuaron, asked Radcliff, Rupert and Watson to each write an essay about their roles for sake of better understanding them.

Guess what! Watson handed in 16 pages, Radcliff a single page and finally Rupert refused to hand in anything entirely!

I hand out my paper in an exam when I don’t usually know anything. Shush! Nobody tell Rupert that.

Hogwarts Castle

Saw those magnificent opening sequences of the Hogwarts castle, Showing its aged might and intricate details. It is in fact actually a 1: 24 scale model, designed by the artistry crew to be used for the film.

Not only did those scenes looked enchanting but did wonders to add to the films landscape experience. 86 especially talented artists built the model with each and every detail from courtyards, tower, and fields all that can be shined from within.

In the Potter franchise, the third installment ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ turned out to be the least successful one. Yet still churned out a solid 90 million more than another famous movie – Twilight.

UK’s Child Labor Laws

The first Potter film invoked a change in the UK’s child labor laws, as both Daniel Radcliff – harry potter real name , Emma Watson- as Hermione Granger and Rupert Grint – as Ron Weasley, were all minors during that period.

The change brought in the addition of a small number of working hours every week and making classes available on set with more flexibility.

Floating Candles

How can we forget the beautiful candle ceiling, atop the beautiful long dining table? Those floating candles were in fact real, if you thought they were computer generated. Only in the first movie though.

Those floating candles were actually suspended with the help of wires, which were layer removed in post-production. In the later movies this idea was no longer used, because the floating candles burned the wire and fell off.

Voldemort’s Nose

I always wondered, where Voldemort’s nose is. It’s very awkward to look at alien-humanoid based facial characteristics. Despite the uniqueness, Voldemort’s face is a result of clever visual makeup and digital special effects to give him his unique prominence.

Three Broom Sticks Inn

Potter characters don’t have any affection with alcohol, but are eager butter bear fans. Hermione invited Ron and Harry to the ‘Three Broom Sticks Inn’ to share some foamy mugs of the drink.

Despite the attention of teens having alcohol, the drink itself was substituted with foamed Apple juice. Hilariously, here we thought UK reduced their age limit on alcohol consumption.
