15 Painful Scenes To Film In Harry Potter

The Wizarding world isn’t always what it's cracked us to be! While there were days filled with magic and wonder, there were also some very painful situations that left actors in rough shape. From the lead actors to one of the film's directors - most people who were part of this crew suffered in one way or another.
Daniel Radcliffe faced his fair share of pain. His very first day on set left him in tears, struggling with an unfortunate accessory. Then in the later films, he dove headfirst into stunts that left him “bruised and battered.” While that seems like the most dangerous experience he would’ve had would be during daunting stunts, it was actually his co-stars that could cause some real suffering! Then there are the workplace hazards that come with spending multiple hours stuck underwater. Can anyone say infection??
Matthew Lewis became a valiant Neville in the later films, but it certainly didn’t stop him from getting one of the worst injuries on set thanks to co-star Helene Bonham Carter who got a bit carried away. Rupert Grint somehow wound up in a very dangerous situation in one of the earliest films - and he paid the price after he left the set bleeding! Tom Felton learned early on that he had to be careful around certain actors - including the person who would play his on-screen father. Unfortunately, accidents and mistakes were cause for a lot of bruises and cuts! After all that, it's no wonder he was caught on camera flinching before being hit in a scene - the fear was real!
Despite the hardships, we doubt any of these actors would trade their Harry Potter experience for the world!

Which scene did you find most painful? 😓

[vanisa_ray]

I love how Emma always hugs Dan after beating him up

[lordvenjix]

A huge part of the franchise is the emotion the fans feel when they watch the films. There are many moments throughout the series which have reduced fans to sadness and tears.

I never understood the "mother's eyes" problem. Like yes, Daniel couldn't wear lenses, but actresses who played Lily could, so.. that would solve the problem in 2 seconds.

[silentwraithuk]

I am surprised you didn't mention another 2 major injuries that were caused on the Sets - One in Chamber of Secrets where Crabbe and Goyle ate those floating cupcakes, but they had Fish-Hooks in them so it cut their mouths badly. And in Deathly Hallows Part 1 where Daniel's Stuntdouble got pulled through the Wall by a wire when attacked by Nagini, and Broke his back so badly, it left him permanently confined into a Wheelchair.

"Harry" can still have his mother's eyes. They can have that soft loving quality all mothers seem to have. He can also have a quirk where he gives a certain look when he's genuinely angry that makes people think they're being scolded by Lilly not her son.

Harry Potter is literally one of the best movies! I love all the actors and I’m thankful for all their hard work and effort they did for this ❤️💛💚💙

[JoJoBelgiumBoy]

YESSS finally what I thought has been confirmed, the rock that hit Rupert's eye was legit!
Thank you for that!

[Ariverse_]

For their hard works only 'Harry Potter' became one of the best movie franchises of all time

[deinemudda]

So the stuntman who got paralyzed during filming isn´t worth a mention?

[Jenifer_R_]

~ 0:49 ~ Those famous Lily Potter green eyes... "Absolutely and, unequivocally NO!" (Because... brown) Nice touch.

[HeidenMikael]

David Holmes was Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double in the Goblet of fire and it was in that scene where he was flying away from the dragon I don't remember if it was an explosion or he hit the wall wrong or his harnessed grabbed him in a wrong way where it messed up his spine but he's paralyzed from the waist down poor David Holmes he has to live like that for the rest of his life 😭

[BeefyIB]

Harry: RON!
Ron: hurt and bleeding.
Harry: Don’t Forget, We are still playing.
Ron: Still hurts.

[reikosuzuka]

Lots of respect to radcliffe, for enduring all those ear infections. Id find that most difficult.

[FilmedbyRachel]

It's the fact that Daniel couldn't wear green contacts. Everybody was kinda stressed out. In the first book it says that that petunia and Durley were blonde but in the movies there had dark hair.

[Tom-Flanks]

Undoubtedly the best series in the history of movies 💖

[carlynz]

I always thought that chess scene with Ron was added in post. I wish there was footage of everyone's reactions after the cut. Rupert just takes it and lies there like a champ!

[EmilyCheetham]

Daniel spent so long in the tank in goblet of fire I think he got a diving instructors certificate or something like that.

[williamk]

Wow that scene where ron got that cut from chess tho cannot believe that was real didnt notice that gotta give Emma for looking and doing great as Also she apologized for things which I find genuine of her to do

[DiamondTulip-qlgd]

I feel like Fred and George are just the best because the actors are twins as well so even behind the stage, they still have that family spirit😊
