The third film Potterian "Harry Potter and Prisoner Azkaban" is considered one of the best in the series. And this is the reason. Director, Alfonso Quaron, created a unique magical atmosphere, which gradually separated the viewer from the innocent fabulousness of the first two parts and immersed in a more gloomy and "adult" version of the Magic World. Quaron approached enthusiasm not only to create new concepts and locations, but also worked with the images of the main characters. So, in one of the interviews and the director himself, and the actors told how he forced Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Greenta write an essay on the face of his heroes. For the Quara, it was a way to make actors deeply immerse themselves in the images of their characters, realize their experiences and changes, and just trace how each of the guys will suit this task. According to the director, Daniel described some raw emotions, Emma wrote an essay into several pages, and Rupert simply did not bring him.
When Quaron asked why he did not fulfill the task, Grint replied: "Ron would never pass this essay." Instead of reproaches, the director praised him and said that he understood his character perfectly.
Bury Mills
Chris Columbus, who directed the first two films about Harry Potter, not only created for the audience a school of sorcerence and magic Hogwarts, but also turned out to be very sensitive and attentive to his little actors. Under his leadership, there was a friendly and caring team. She was so sensitive that when Emma Watson died her favorite hamster Milli, it was decided to spend a pet with honors. In order for the actress easier to suffer a loss of a pet, Milli built a small wooden globe, wasted from the inside velvet and decorated with a nameplate. This touching story became the public domain during the Bafta Britannia Awards ceremony, on which Emma Watson won in the nomination "Actress of the Year". In his Thanksgiving speech, she told about Millie's funeral and wished hamster to rest with the world.
That is the mostFire at the School of Wizard and Magic
At times, the special effects on the set were out of control. So, during the filming of the first part of the film "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" pyrotechnics were mistaken in the calculations, and the real fire broke out in the castle. Unfortunately, there were no magicians and wizards among the film crew, so the fire workers had to be hung by manually by all available means. And they succeeded!
Fortunately, none of the film crew was injured, and the actors at that moment were not at all at the scene. Fans did not have time to be frightened for the condition of the castle and future films, as representatives of the studio Warner Bros. Quickly reassured everyone and assured that the beginning of the filming of the final film Hogwarts will be restored. So that he was destroyed by the Eaters of Death led by Volan de Mort.
Not by Ford "England" one
At the beginning of the film "Harry Potter and the Secret Room", Harry and Ron, with horror, understand that the magic barrier separating them from the station 9 ¾ cannot pass. Without inventing anything better, the boys invigorate the car of the Weasley family and are trying to fly to Hogwarts. They almost turn out to be, but already at the gate to the castle they fall into the branch of the Radiachy Willow, which will spread the unfortunate Fordik and almost kills children. If you look at this scene in the film, it will become clear that the creators did not use computer graphics, but they went to another. Especially for this moment, the film crew built a tree with a height of twenty-six meters and ... Fifteen cars of Ford England broke about him. It was so many cars had to sacrifice to reliably and detail damage and make the scene as convincing as possible.
Religious protests put a shot
Not all fans know that internal decorations, corridors and courtyards of Hogwarts belong to various cathedrals and departments. Original Film Company Warner Bros. I was going to shoot Poterian in the Canterbury Cathedral and offered considerable money for permission. By regret, in this opportunity, the studio was denied. Then the rector of the Gloucester Cathedral, who allowed shooting on its territory came to help the film crew. The creators barely managed to exhale relief how new difficulties and obstacles arose. It turned out that the locals were indignant by the decision of the abbot and went on protests, fading newspapers to the requirements to stop using the Cathedral in pleasure purposes. The unrest managed to calm down only after it became known that for the filming of the film, the creators took the hall, where the fairs and meetings usually took place. After this incident and other cathedrals, such as the Durhare Cathedral, thanks to the initiative of the clergy, became part of the school of sorcerence and magic.
So why was there no pivza?
For all parts of Harry Potter, the fans did not cease to ask the same question: where is the Pivz? It turns out that the actor Rick Mayal was invited to his role, all scenes with which were eventually cut out of the first film. According to one of the versions, this happened due to the fact that the characteristic and funny game of the actor constantly provoked the explosions of the children's laughter. It was very stacked by shooting and ruined the final frames. All moments with the participation of Rica Mayala were spoiled by a children's laughter, and it was simply not possible to extract all the necessary scenes. This reason for the fans of the book did not convince, and they today consider the lack of Poltergeist Pivz in films with great omission from the creators.
On the set, the real tragedy happenedIn 2009, during the creation of the film "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" there was an accident. Daniel Radcliffe - David Holmes - broke the neck during the execution of the trick. Holmes had to jump back forward in the scene with an explosion, but incorrectly calculated the trajectory and fell to the ground. As a result of the accident, David was paralyzed and was chained to a disabled chair for life. At that time he was only 25 years old. He worked as a dubler Radcliffe from the first film and today retains good relationships with him and other membership member.
Now David Holmes is engaged in charitable activities, helps the hospital in which he was treated, and even rides on special racing cars.
In the scenario there was a slapOne of the brightest moments of the film "Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban" is a scene in which Hermione Granger beats Draco Malfoy fist in the face. Initially, that, from the words of Tom Felton, Emma Watson on the scenario was supposed to win him in a slap. The blow was not very strong, but memorable and for actors, and for viewers.
Some of the fans suggest that it could not be an accident. Watson in one of the interviews admitted that shortly before the filming filming was in love with his colleague, and he did not pay attention to her. Felton also recalled that his first love was also met in Hogwarts, and after a while she played the wife of Draco Malfoy in the last stage of the final film about the boy who survived.
