Harry Potter films always have some moments to share with the fans and from what we saw, everyone on set, cast and crew alike, got along.

No dating seems logical. Celebrity relationships often leads to breakup, which leads to making things on set awkward, and later leads to resignation from the role to avoid each other.

imagine doing your math work while filming a very well-known movie.

He had to bleach his hair like every week for 10 years and only got 30 minutes of screen time… now that’s commitment.

Honestly; it seems the Harry Potter set wasn't any more strict than other movie sets are. Especially when there's kids involved. Those are the strictest sets.

i very much liked the *"Do Well in Schools" * .. It's great that they didin't have to miss out on their school work even when they were performing in one of the biggest international movies😳.They did well just because of the strict rule😂👍

That's why Tom's hair was completely ruined. Can you imagine dyeing your hair for 10 years constantly.

funny that emma felt grateful about being able to study on set. i wonder if acting as these characters from such a young age ever influenced their real life personalities to adapt some of the traits they admired in the characters.

The fact that Harry Potter is so old yet is still so popular , makes me feel glad our childhood is still as awesome as before :D

Emma complaining about not being able to do what she wants with her hair. Me being in high school: Gurl, you ain't allowed to do that anyway. You aren't allowed to do pretty much anything. I go to a school in the UK

Alan Rickman: *"Turn to page 394"* Rupert Grint: Reads _Do not touch Alans car_

It’s funny how Tom was the bully in the films and was the one whole was less trouble.

Can’t believe Daniel and Emma wanted to leave after the 3rd movie 😦 thats was basically like the beginning

I never realized how strict the acting industry is.

all the other rules compared to 'dont touch Alan's car' XD

You call that life constricting? It just sounds like an everyday life of a typical Asian household, and if that’s all there is, I’m more than willing to live on-set any day.

"Why Is it when something happends, it's always you three" Made my day

Honestly I love how they made all these sacrifices for us GIVE IT UP FOR THE HARRY POTTER SET

6:22 You always hear stories about actors "considering to leave" some huge multi-billion dollar franchise. This is just a bargaining tactic their lawyers use to negotiate higher pay for the actor. They threaten the actor wants out to "explore their career" or "express themselves." More often they just do that to get more money. May not be the case here, but happens often in the biz.

The film makers knew that they had got Daniel Radcliffe on-board by assuring his parents that he would be treated differently to MaCaulay Culkin, the star of Chris Columbus's 'Home Alone' who suffered greatly by being treated as an adult when he was barely a teenager. Commentators have said that this was easy given that British film studios are not located in a Hollywood style environment, but the film makers, especially producer David Heyman, knew this required strict rules/guidelines. Hence the rules described here. The main actors survived and are not remembered for anything outside of what they filmed and still have a golden future before them.

Honestly, these rules don't seem any more strict than your average high school. And, of course, many of the rules aren't all that well-enforced. The difference is these kids entered adulthood with millions of dollars in their pockets (depending on which role they had).

It must have been so cool though to see all the actors grow up together

honestly, when you work is a set with this many kids you kinda need some strict rules, otherwise, you end up being in a glorified kinder garden

At the end of the last movie, I was hoping there would be a cast review clip to thank them all for sticking it out through eight movies. I'll bet that Dan was lured to stay by being given the chance to work with some of the best actors Britain has to offer. Seriously, how many actors would ever get to meet such talent?

they can't kiss they can't eat the table at the food hall me:eating the table me:COCOA

But rupert changed his hairstyle in every movie

I love how Daniel started doing a bunch of random and WEIRD movies after Harry Potter, like Swiss Army man and when his poor character had GUNS SURGICALLY DRILLED INTO HIS HANDS. Nothing like being a farting corpse and a mini John Wick. Love it.

Alan rickman is one of the perfect actor according to the book

Since I was a kid I loved harry hp and I still do ....... I legit memorised all the lines of each movie and seeing that hp is trending again is making me soooooo happy I just can't express it ....

If I was given 20 million dollars a year, I would gladly keep my hair long without complaining!

As much as I love Robin Williams, he would not have done that role justice. His style of comedy may have even ruined it.

Tom Felton is really kind of a cool fellow--absolutely nothing like the character he played. He's a good actor.

I always wondered why Crabb was not in the last movies. Wasn’t it someone else with Goyle in the fire in the room of requirement? Also, it seems to me that Gilderoy Lockhart could have caused the biggest problem. Not the kids.

I think whenever we find ourselves being constrained, we romanticize what’s on the other side of that constraint. Kind of like the grass being greener on the other side. They could’ve chosen to live a “normal” life, but that just means trying to live in both worlds. I’m glad just about all of them stayed wholly committed to the franchise. At least now they can be free to pursue everything else they want.

This was very informative 😄

Ellie Columbus American, played Susan Bones, No speaking part.

Telling Rickman so early on of the huge secret burden of his character surely helped him fine tune his portrayal of Severus, and interaction with Harry and others.

I thank the entire cast and crew for making 8 movies that will last well beyond my lifetime ❤❤

Although there were quite a few rules in place, there was great wisdom behind it!

All these rules except Alan Rickman's rule are pretty standard for film franchises and for kids in film. Kids can only work so many hours in a day and they must still go through school. Public image is extremely important as is maintaining your physical image for the role. JK's no American actors rule 100% makes sense because the whole setting is in the UK! If anyone is shocked by these rules then they don't know film.

I like how they weren't allowed to do sports or risk injury but they gave Dan multiple ear infections from filming underwater scenes in Goblet of Fire and Neville got a punctured eardrum

Amazing video 👍

6:40 the voice crack tho

Does the narrater know that "Warner Bros" is pronounced "Warner Brothers"? An interesting video but I cringed multiple times over that one!

3:33 Damn, buddy really didn’t have any defense against dark arts 😂😂😂

So glad that JK Rowling wanted the cast to be British. I had a hard time watching Crimes of Grindelwald cos I could not unsee Johnny Depp while playing Grindelwald.

Well, in a lot of professions you are supposed to fit to a certain look or outfit or behavior or etc. ...

8:27 That's not Griphook. That's the bank teller at Gringotts. And he was played by Warwick Davis (of WIllow fame).

It seems like they were all close and got to grow up together in these iconic roles 😊

I can't say I feel bad for them...how many millions did they make? "I didn't get to cut my hair" You've got the next 50 years to do whatever you want, that's more than most of us can say

So glad that Bonnie Wright and Jamie Campbell Bower broke up. I don't know. It just seemed like they got into a relationship too quickly. I know that Emma Watson almost left in the middle of the franchise. But I honestly had no idea that Daniel Radcliffe had almost done the exact same thing.

0:00 literally my favorite line in the whole entire franchise 😅 Edit : first scene :)

Love Harry Potter Thx For This Vid!

Please do more Harry Potter I love it

I totally didn’t get a Harry Potter game ad before watching this video.

Wonderful stories .... my wife, kids, and those grand-kids of our who could read did read the books that we bought and now we occasionally re-watch the movies on the DVDs that we bought. Flew to Florida for the grand opening of Wizarding World.....what massive crowds but amazing fun. Didn't get to see any of the cast due to insane crowds of fans. How awesome it would have been if "Jo" mother could have lived long enough to have known this fabulous story; although I am certain that she knew how special her daughter was and she had read her daughter's stories (other than Harry Potter) and I have no doubt but what she knew in her gut that her daughter would become a successful writer as long as she (aka JK) persisted and never gave up which she Jo's mother certainly knew she would.

why is this video so good!!??

They inspire me so much i love them

I can just imagine them doing a maths test during a scene where they're studying Arithmancy (which involves the magical properties of numbers)

I’m pretty sure Daniel is drunk during the liquid luck scene. You can tell he seems out of it and it’s fitting since Harry is supposed to be in a sort of trance during that chapter

To be honest I agree that being young and wanting a life as you grow older is hard especially while on set to a really big and popular movie but I think the actors have done soooo well I mean Emma Watson became the most richest female actress after this movie and she’s done soo well going forward couldn’t have it any other way even my brothers who are born in the 20s love Harry Potter obsessed like I am… I am honestly soo proud of the actors for sticking to their roles no matter how hard and tough it was and because of them and their own success and confident they got popular and well known. As a strong Harry Potter fan I can’t be anymore proud of how all this went

I second that regarding Emma's thankfulness about her studies.

Kenneth's affair with Helena made me do the best Owen Wilson expression of "Wow" I've ever done.

Interesting rules

Makes senses

"Do you think the pros outweigh the cons?" Definitely. Yep. I'd happily sacrifice all those things to work on such a big cinematic undertaking. Where do I sign the papers?

I am certain the "scandals" about the cast that went public were just the tip of the iceberg. I don't blame the actors though, going through their teens fully committed to several movies and long days on set can make anyone feel worn out and rebellious.

Harry Potter Rules: No riding bikes Me: *watches a video of the cast riding bikes around the set*

All I have to say is : Thank you JK Rowling for this amazing series because of you I can READ and will never forget.

I can see Matthew spilling a milkshake 😭✋

Harry Melling who played Dudley, I wonder if they didn't let him lose weight until after the movies. He looks like a totally different guy now. (Also i didn't know till just now that his real name is Harry, that must have been awkward with everyone angrily yelling at Harry all the time lol)

I love this

Honestly doing Harry Potter may have been worth it for us-the fans-but i really don’t think it would’ve been worth it to participate in..

Omg this is incredible

Stable video 👍

I dont think the "cons" are that bad, yea not being able to change your appearance its irritating but at the same time when you arent acting you can wear whatever clothing, as long as your hair and skin colour doesnt change, there is ways of making it feel like yourself with clothing and accessories, curling your hair or making it straight, doing brides or just leave it wild, those are also ways of expressing personality, doesnt have to necessarily change the skin or hair.. School on set i think its brilliant because you are working which is what you love doing, so you are having fun, and studying at the same time which is good because they were kids at the time and it shows how they cared about them and their future, not to mention that in their days off their days would be off for real they wont have to study those days cuz they do that while working. Not working on inappropiate movies i see it as valid because there was an image they wanted to portray to people, its part of why harry potter was so fantastic too, a movie is very influencing amongst their viewers specially if they are children, so knowing a lot of kids love these movies i find it rather important to set a good example while they grow with the characters and their actors. No dating co-stars: was obviously a broken rule that they didnt follow and they were very light about it or so it seems, there was no kicking ppl out for that. The spoilers one: im sorry but isnt that one obvious? you cant just ruin the magic and intrigue of everyone by revealing secrets about the movie, its not cool, it ruins it. The no stealing one: its good in terms of, its bad to steal, nothing else, its just bad, if you want something just ask, im sure what they took from set they asked for it. No substance abuse: i dont think i have to explain that one but here we go, imagine them high asf acting and just literally having to make thousands of takes more than normal because those people arent in the right mind to behave like their characters would, hopefully you arent that stupid to think that abusing a substance would be unnoticeable? unless you turn into a better actor while high asf i dont think it would work out. Food on set: there is always food in a set, they provide it for you and they have breaks to eat, there is no need to dirty where you work, you dont go to work and eat while you are at it, you wait for your break. The no leaving one: imagine being at work and just walking out the door, if you do that in any job you are fired bruh, its a job. Scandals: who wants to work with a drama queen? no one. Yet this rule was broken anyways too, so not really a strict rule, people are humans and sometimes things happen, maybe thats is why they took this one lightly as well. The car one and the american one: those are personal preference of alan and J.K and you have to respect it, which leads me to the last one: of course you have to be respectful, and it doesnt matter who is it, adult or young, you always have to respect the other to have a better working enviroment with harmony, so i think this rule is the best one. I dont think there is that many cons if im being honest, but thats an opinon of someone who didnt go through it and is just looking from the outside in.

Beautiful and Excellent video

In lunch at school we were gonna watch a movie so we had a vote between beuty and the beast the real version or toy story we all chose beuty and the beast and I was like wait a second isn't that hermione

You got that wrong: Tom's girlfriend got the role of Malfoy's wife because she was the girlfriend. So they weren't working together on set and got together there

Radcliff was worth 80 million last I heard. I think the pros defiantly out weight the cons.

Basically bought Danielle back to play in the rest of the series lol. “Best choice for your career” sounds like a check to me

Okay but let’s acknowledge the most important rule..... DON’T TOUCH ALAN’S CAR!!!

All of them was so good!!!

The question is, what’s the opportunity cost of giving up 10yrs of your life for some rules (all of which aside from the dating, are for modesty - personally and professionally) for like $50-$100 million? I’m guessing 99% of ppl would!

Tom Felton aged like milk while Ema Watson ages like high grade whiskey. Incredible

Tom honestly looked good with bleached hair Malcom🩷❤️🩷🩷🩷😊

TOM ON THE THUMBNAIL HAS ME WHEEZING

Emma having problems with not being allowed to do anything with her hair is hilarious to me, as I have fought my mom since little to have long hair and once she allowed me I have never changed it once. So since 7 and I am 21 now. Then again, I guess my hair changing itself is a plus. I was born with white hair which then turned platinum then yellow went darker and darker, got to caramel and honey and now it is mostly dark honey with golden shine and maybe a little red in the sun. I cut it myself just to keep it healthy but because it is so wavy, i really have to hack at it to make it look any shorter when it was before it. Extreme sports as well, the only thing I do that is in any way dangerous is climbing stuff and, fine skating for fun is pretty neat. Same with substance. I don't drink or smoke or use anything. And it might not have been this way if I was famous for playing a part in HP, but I had no relationships that went farer than friendships until I was 20 so there would not have been any scandals from me. Now that might make me sound weird, or that I was not allowed any of that, but if you are bullied and under stress and depressed and think it's normal and you are just not interested or even able to get your hands on any of the bad stuff, it happens.

imagine just trying to figure out what a oak tree looked like or something while mixing weird plants or something in potions class XD

I wonder what the turn around was like how long after completing a movie did they have before starting the next

I know full grown, combat veterans in the Marine Corps who grew up on Harry Potter and still can't resist falling into their old crushes and heartbreaks when watching these amazing films.🥰

Regarding whether the work rules for keeping the characters the actors played on-set are better or worse than other workplaces, that's a good question. For a good comparison, the host should have consulted with Disney's management about work rules they have for their theme park employees, who are called Cast Members because they're putting on a show for their visitors. For example, they're not allowed to break character for the role they're playing while they're in costume; they're required to follow all sorts of rules for keeping the magic; they can't have facial hair--unless their character calls for it, e.g., Jack Sparrow for Pirates, etc., smoke or drink booze, etc. Ask anybody who works for a Federal, State, or local agency about workplace rules, and they will offer their visitors a sample set of various administrative manuals detailing what can and can't be done on the premises with respect to workplace conditions, supervisory responsibilities, privacy requirements, union rules and responsibilities, workplace safety, etc. For example, if I had to compare the Harry Potter production set workplace rules for what the actors can or couldn't do while away from the set, I'd say they're no better or worse than the rules I had to work with while employed by FEMA or anybody who works for a private sector firm that works directly with the public. I agree with the actors who played the roles they had: they probably hated the rules but if they wanted to continue playing the roles, they had to deal with them. That said, between you, me, and the doorframe, if I were Emma Watson's BF and I saw what she did with her hair after the Harry Potter movies stopped filming, I would have told her that her new style made her less attractive, IMHO. As for Draco Maifoy actor Tom Felton's real hair color, I would have wanted to become his new BFF because his real hair color made him less evil.

wow cool!

On the point of American actors, Verne Troyer wasn't the only one. Zoé Wannamaker: Madame Hooch. Eleanor Columbus: If you don't know who that is, she played Susan Bones in the first two films and is Christopher Columbus's (the Director of those films.) daughter. I believe that her sisters were also in a photo? Susan is seen being sorted in the first film and in DADA in the second, next to Hermione.

The one that got me was the no dating co-stars part😳😶

I'll never understand how it's an absolutely scandal to be caught with a little bit of weed

Ooooh

Warwick Davis had also played and voiced Griphook.
