In 2021, the first part of Harry Potter is executed exactly 20 years. On the occasion of the anniversary, Empire magazine talked to the permanent producer of the franchise David Hayman, responsible for all parts of the fabulous cycle on the works of Joan Rowling and Spin-off "Fantastic Creatures". In the course of the conversation, cinematographer delighted in memories and shared a curious story that occurred at the first day of the filming of the "philosophical stone":
"When I read the first book, I immediately understood that she was special. I liked her and sincerely touched. I fell in love with this story even before she was published. I will never forget the first day on the set of "philosophical stone" when the scene was created, where Hagrid [Robbie Coltreine] and Harry [Daniel Radcliffe] say goodbye to the railway station in Hogsmid. Dan wore contact lenses so that his eyes became green, and he had an allergic reaction to them. His eyes turned red and swollen, and we had to remove lenses. We thought that we could add a green color on the computer, but ultimately decided not to do this, because everything looked artificial. But Dan's eyes were swollen and red, and, oddly enough, it was quite appropriate for the scene, where he said with Hagrid. "
Now Heiman is immersed in the production of "fantastic creatures 3", the shooting of which recently had to put on a two-week pause because of the coronavirus pandemic.
