Unveiling the Dark Secrets: Hidden Truths Behind the Magical World of Harry Potter
Tom Felton’s Robes Were Sewn Shut
While filming Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Tom Felton, the actor who plays Draco Malfoy, had a bad habit of sneaking food on set, namely in the pockets of his Hogwarts robes.
To prevent the young actor from sneaking in food, the costume department was told to sew the pockets of his robes shut!
Jason Issacs Made A Few Changes To His Character
The original concept for Lucius Malfoy did not bode well with actor Jason Issacs. At first, designers had him wearing a pinstriped suit and having short black-and-white hair, a “muggle appearance,” according to Issacs.
It was Issacs’s idea to give his character long blonde hair and the walking stick to pull his wand from, an idea director Chris Columbus loved.
Ralph Fiennes Did Not Wear “Nose Make-Up”
One of the Dark Lord’s defining features (or not defining) is the fact that he has no nose, making him appear as a serpent. While the make-up department could have used prosthetics or some kind of practical effect to remove actor Ralph Fiennes’s nose, they didn’t.
Instead, his nose was digitally removed in post-production.
Harry Melling Had To Wear A Fat Suit
Between filming the Chamber of Secrets and The Prisoner of Azkaban, actor Harry Melling (Dudley Dursley) lost a lot of weight. His appearance looked so different from the previous two films; he was almost recast!
