Throughout filming, Daniel Radcliffe had an unfortunate habit of breaking props, namely his signature glasses and wands. Rumor has it he broke well over 100 pairs of glasses and around 60 wands!

During an interview, Radcliffe said, “The wands I broke a lot because I would just like drum on my legs with it all the time…I would say I was very sorry to the prop master, and he would give me a look like, ‘Please stop drumming.'”

It took them months to train all of the owls, and they even went ahead and handwrote all of the letters, too.
