TOP 10 HARRY POTTER FUNNIEST BLOOPERS PART 2
Harry Potter.
Bloopers.
Part two.
You guys dug our p[art one so much that we’re back at it again, this time around taking
a look at not only bloopers, but some cheeky moments from the behind the scenes features
of all of the Potter films.
So get ready to chuckle!
10 Deathly Hallows Part 1 - Xenophillis Lovegood Tea Scene - Red Card
So, for those of you who don’t know corpsing is when an actor breaks in a scene laughing
during a take.
And on the set of the deathly hallows, actors were ‘fined’ with a red card whenever
they giggle and ruin one of those takes.
This was especially a problem for Emma Watson, who even earned herself the nickname of Giggles
because
of it.
9 Half Blood Prince Trip up While shooting a scene in the Half Blood Prince
in the Great Hall, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint hop up from their table, filled with
energy.
But instead of smoothly making an exit, Daniel accidentally collides with an extra.
He manages to play it off cool though.
8 Hormones!
In the behind the scenes for the Goblet of Fire, we were treated to some pretty fun moments
featuring the older cast members commenting on how the young cast were becoming teenagers
themselves.
There’s some cool teenage angst leaning, along with some notice
of the opposite sex.
7 Get the girl In another moment from the Goblet of Fire
BTS, Daniel Radcliffe talks about Harry’s very realistic attempts at getting the girl,
and the wonderful awkwardness that comes with it.
As fans know, the scenes between Harry and Cho Chang in the 4th film definitely capture
that wonderful awkwardness, to a tee.
6 Russian Swing From this Behind the Magic video of the Half
Blood Prince, we get an inside look at how some of the Quidditch stunts are performed,
and it’s much different in reality than what we see on the screen.
Greg Powell, the stunt coordinator on the film, walks us through the use of a russian
swing, which is essentially a goat swing that allows them to propel the stunt people into
the air in order to create the action backed visual gags that we see throughout the quid
ditch moments.
Check it out.
5 SFX tutorial In other bonus materials for the half blood
prince, the cast got to hang out with certain crew members, all of whom are pretty integral
to the creation of the Harry Potter world we’ve seen on screen.
Matt Lewis aka Neville Longbottom, alongside Oliver Phelps (George Weasley) and Tom Felton
(Draco Malfoy), hang out with Matthew Harlow, one of the members of the Potter special effects
team, and he shows him some of the tricks they use to bring magic to life with some
practical effects set pieces.
Watching Matt Lewis shoot fire out of a cauldron might actually be the cutest thing ever.
Then the boys play with some of the Weasley; Wizard Wheezes, and Tom Felton almost whacks
himself in the face.
4 Flying Rupert Another part of that Half Blood Prince bonus
material is a feature with Rupert Grint hanging with stunt performer Nick Daines.
Quite literally.
He shows Rupert how they go about doing some more of the Quidditch stunts in the film with
the cast.
Rupert, gets up on a trampoline and starts bouncing around, attempting to catch a quaffle.
And it even whacks him in the face.
Luckily for us, the hit was a light blow, and there wasn’t any extensive damage to
that adorable face of his.
3 Polyjuce Potion During interviews for the Chamber of Secrets,
cast and director Chris Columbus were chatting about the use of the polyjuice potion in the
film, when the trio use it after they suspect Malfoy to be the heir of Slytherin.
The interviewers asks them who they would turn into in real life if they could take
polyjuice potion.
Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe give entertaining answers; Rupert says he’d
become a cartoon character, Emma says Jennifer Aniston and Daniel says Spider-Man.
And Columbus?
He says a dog.
Guess somebody should let him know that Polyjuice can’t turn you into an animal.
2 Whose the fastest?
Deathly Hallows part 1 was full of physical activity for our trio, and during one scene,
the group had some banter about who was actually the fastest runner.
Spoiler - they each voted for themselves.
1 Dancing Outtakes And lastly, from
the rehearsal of the big Yule Ball dance scene, we get several of the cast members goofing
around - or trying to iron out their dance skills - before the cameras start rolling.
For most of the younger cast, learning how to dance was a particularly interesting challenge,
but as Emma Watson says, director Mike Newell didn’t want their dancing to be perfect.
Rather, preferred their awkwardness to be more realistic of teens who were all learning
to dance for the first time, just as they were in the story.
There we have it friends!
