Strict Rules Harry Potter Actors Had To Follow

The Harry Potter Cast Had A Lot Of Secret Rules To Follow

When Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone catapulted into theatres in 2001, no one could have imagined how big the franchise would get. Sure, the books were popular, so it was going to be a big deal, but did 11-year-old Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint know how it was going to change their lives? It’s unlikely the Harry Potter cast realized just how big the J.K Rowling book franchise would become.
Fast forward almost 20 years later, and the movies are still reaching new audiences every day. Each installment is a masterpiece, but it wasn’t all plain sailing. With great moviemaking comes great responsibility. The set wasn’t a playground for the cast, but a place to be respected, with rules that always had to be adhered to. Keeping hormonal teens under control is difficult at the best of times, but this is Hollywood and contracts exist for a reason!

what about how draco got candy banned from the set, because he use to shove chocolate in his robe, and it melted

[ana-uyty]

Most of those rules are just common sense...it kinda goes without saying that as an actor you should respect your elders or shouldn't spoil the plot twists.

*"Break any of these rules and you shall end up in Azkaban."*

1 . Harry Potter WAS NOT made in Hollywood

2. IT WAS made in London (well most of it at least all of it was made in the UK) many people (Including me) have been to the studio where they filmed it

[projecthiraeon]

The no stealing props was probably broken the most😂😂

[chloer]

The cast of Harry Potter went to school on the set so technically they went to school at hogwarts

Telling Alan Rickman that they had spilled a milkshake in his car was probably the most terrifying thing either actor ever did.

I can just imagine Alan Rickman saying "Five points from Gryffindor if I ever catch you near my car again" lol

[CarolynGranger]

Classic Rupert. Spilling Milkshakes in Snape's car. I can hear Snape's voice now....

“Strict rules”
No stealing and respect elders, seems more like common sense

[jcbogdon]

Basically they had to act like decent human beings! Man this is how I grew up respecting my elders trying to be decent person! An I’m not an actor! Just common sense !

[maryessm]

Fun fact: the only reason the twins auditioned, was because they wanted a day off of school 😂😂😂🤣

[KingpinQueen]

“Slytherin by name, Slytherin by nature, ” that’s a really real bad stereotype there. We aren’t bad people just very ambitious.

[thearmyflyer]

Bet one of rules was no casting spells off set

[Anna-fcpk]

You know, Remus lupins actor was told to pretend he was a gay man for a few movies so when he was told he was married to tonks he was confused

[cookielover]

Literally every movie in the making follows majority of these rules

[ekatskatingrink]

"No drinking!"

Daniel: *nervous sweating*

[sunaynaprasad]

They also weren't allowed to play contact sports.

[Kota-dcqo]

Fun fact: the twins came to audition and told everybody they didnt know eachother, and had just met at auditions. and somehow people believed them.
