Filming for the Harry Potter movies was not all fun and games! It was hard work, and these were the strict rules that the entire cast were forced to follow! Many of these rules were set in the contract, like the rule about not being able to change their hair, which was one that both Emma Watson and Tom Felton struggled with. Still other rules were more a matter of respect, however, like the time that Alan Rickman asked Matthew Lewis not to touch his BMW! Daniel Radcliffe struggled with his fair share of the rules too, although Rupert Grint was able to find a way around the rule against contact sports by taking up golfing with his on-screen Weasley brother, Oliver Phelps and James Phelps! Jason Isaacs tells us an embarrassing story from set, wherein he asked David Yates if he was allowed to take a copy of the Daily Prophet and was met with an interesting response! J.K. Rowling set her fair share of rules during filming too, and her suggestions even had an effect on the type of cast that Warner Bros. was considering at the time! In fact, Chris Columbus was once considering Liam Aiken, best known for Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, for the role of Harry Potter!With so many hijinks and rule breaking going on behind the scenes, it makes us wonder what we can expect to see from the cast on the upcoming HBO Max reboot of Harry Potter?

    I can't believe that Daniel and Rupert are dads already! Time really flies by, making you feel extremely old.
  • @BamaChad-W4CHD
    I'm surprised at the pockets. I would have constantly cut mine open. I have always relied heavily on my pockets. Still do as an adult lol
  • @SensorybySophie
    The massive head lice check must have been the pinnacle of ASMR during production 👀
  • @danielsimpkins9662
    They mentioned Emma’s 16 page essay and my first thought was “FRONT AND BACK!”
  • @hiddendesire3076
    Some of my favorite “Take-Aways”. Ryan Reynolds took one of the Deadpool suits from the set, which they said wasn’t unexpected as he is the embodiment of Deadpool. Johnny Depp got a couple of his Jack Sparrow costumes and the Jar of Dirt (granted both were given to him), and a number of the Lord of the Rings actors also kept some of their props as well, including the One Ring.

    I cannot now unsee Liam Aiken as Harry Potter!!! He looks just like Mary GrandPré illustrations!
  • @robint4795
    Imagine hermione getting to keep her time yurner,cloak and wand and Lucia's not able to keep one of the daily prophet

    Allan: "Rupert, if u so dare try fly away with my brand new BMW I will send u flying to the moon!" xD
  • @BamaChad-W4CHD
    You can't blame the production for a live outbreak. Schools don't use any combs brushes or scissors on students. They still have major live outbreaks. Of course it could happen on a set full of kids. If they didn't take it seriously they could end up with a bunch of expensive props infected. Not a good thing.

    You know what you said about “not being able to change your hairstyle for 10 years” Well I’m at 9 years close enough right?
  • @justvibin3646
    The thumbnail looks like tom had to play a chocolate bar
  • @Gashnaw
    Changing the hair did throw me for a loop. i already knew that rule but still. Kids change their hair, And their hair changed throughout the movies anyway.
  • @AriTaylors-Version
    At 0:08 They only realized Tom was keeping them in a pocket bcs that was their only solution and I believe it was just Tom's
  • @maggie.johnson
    Great video but Liam Aiken played Klaus Beaudeliare in the film adaptation and Louis Hanes play him in the Netflix series who actually is British.
  • @samurai4717
    I’m just so I sad I never watched the original Harry Potter movies in the theater 😢 when deathly hallows came out I was 4
  • @luchts4547
    Surprised they were so strict about Felton's hair but not Radcliff's. I don't know how many times the book mentioned Harry's "jet black" hair, and yet they were fine with it being brown in the films?
  • @charliibanks2741
    Warwick Davis — it’s pronounced ‘Warrick” (like the city/county) not ‘war wick’. Good video, must take as long as the films to put together so much footage.
