Hey guys welcome back to another video. Today’s video is gonna be a fantastic 5
video, just like the videos that propelled my channel towards my first 100K subscribers a
couple of years ago. Anyway for this segment I’m gonna take you through 5 stories from the Harry
Potter movies that happened behind the scenes between the actors that you didn’t know about.
Ok you may have heard of some but they’re really recent stories so I really hope you
all enjoy them. Make sure to let me know what your favourite story was in the comment section below.
Number 5: Emma Watson Had A Massive Crush on Tom Felton
From her first day on set, many of the child actors had crushes on each other.
While Daniel and Rupert both had crushes on Emma, the feeling was definitely not mutual. Instead,
Emma’s eyes were dead set on Tom Felton who was 2 years older than her. Emma’s
crush was so intense she used to check the call sheet every day and look for Tom’s number on it
in order to see if they were working together that day, something she called an even bigger
excitement than she was already feeling just being on set. Did Tom know she had a crush on him?
He says he did but unfortunately for Emma, her feelings were not shared as Tom only ever looked
at her like she was his little sister. Emma was adamant that nothing ever happened between the 2
and goes on to say the 2 have a relationship stronger than friendship but not at the point
of romance. I think Tom is one of the very few people who would turn down Emma Watson.
Number 4: Daniel Radcliffe completely freaked out over Gary Oldman
Daniel has been acting since he was a young boy, and many actors have stated their biggest
influences. For Daniel, one of if not his all time favourite actor Gary Oldman was
joining the cast to play his onscreen uncle Sirius Black. Daniel went around the whole
cast during the days leading up to Gary’s arrival, telling them how much of a big deal this was
to have such an incredible actor on site. Emma and Rupert mentioned how much Daniel was absolutely
freaking out at the thought of working alongside him and actually needed time to compose himself.
The 2 actors build an incredible friendship and Gary actually goes on to say how much of
a paternal bond both he and Daniel built was working together, something Daniel himself is
incredibly grateful for to this day. I really love this story guys, one of my favourites I’ve heard.
Number 3: Daniel had a huge crush on HBC Like Gary Oldman and many of the veteran
actors on set, Helena bonham Carter was very decorated by the time she took on
the role of Bellatrix Lestrange for the Harry Potter and The order of the Phoenix.
The 2 actors worked on the follow up films together and created a very strong bond
with Daniel learning a lot from his time on set with her. Helena adored Daniel and was delighted
to receive a letter from him thanking her for taking the time to get to know him. The letter
also said how much he enjoyed working with her and how he wished he had been born 10 years younger
so that he way he might have had a chance with her, something that really made Helena laugh.
Even at such a young age, Daniel Radcliffe was a charmer. It’s a really great moment for the
2 to reminisce on and it definitely deserves it’s place on this list but what do you guys
think about harry fancying bellatrix? Fratinishing with the enemy potter?
Number 2: Jason Isaacs felt guilty being so mean to Tom Felton
Jason Isaacs is an incredibly nice guy but he’s even more of an incredible actor, so
good that playing the bad guy roles seem to be his strength. He killed Heath Ledger in The Patriot,
he played probably the cruelest version of Captain Hook I’ve seen and then he takes on the role of
the ignorant biggot Lucius Malfoy, the man who basically made draco the bully he is in the books.
Anyway while on set, Jason really dove into his character and with Tom being as young as he was,
did feel a little bit shaken at Jason’s presence while in character. In between cuts,
Jason would be hugging Tom and apologising for being so cruel in character. In the scene in
borgin and burke’s, which was actually cut out of the movie, Jason slams his cane head
and catches Tom’s hand for real, genuinely hurting him. Tom was fighting the tears his
hand hurt so much but told Chris to leave it in the shot as it looked more realistic. Jason was
once again wracked with guilt but Tom knew he didn’t mean it. The 2 actors built an amazing
relationship from working together that still lasts to this day. Lovely story if you ask me
Number 1: Richard Harris thought Fawkes Was Real You’ve read that correctly guys. Richard Harris,
that sweet lovable man who played Albus Dumbledore for the first 2 movies
before sadly passing away shortly after, actually thought that the robotic phoenix on set was a
genuine real life exotic bird who was supposed to look similar to the mythological phoenix. Both
Daniel Radcliffe and Chris Columbus thought that it was such a pure of heart moment for the actor
that they couldn’t bring themselves to tell him that the bird wasn’t real.
Richard went on to again compliment the birds trainer as it remained so relaxed and calm,
something that Daniel and Chris laughed and smiled about when talking about their favourite memories
from being on set. That’s why its my number one choice for a Harry Potter movie moment, it just
showed how beautiful and optimistic a character Richard Harris was. May he rest in peace.
