The Real Reason Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson lost concentration on Harry Potter Sets

It’s been 20 long years since the world of wizards was unleashed on the muggles with the first Harry Potter movie.  Fans soon became enchanted with the magical world of the young wizard and his school of Hogwarts. This was with the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone 20 years back. The movie marked the debut of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

As the world celebrates 20 years of Harry Potter, director Chris Columbus opens up on the reason Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson lost concentration on the sets of Harry Potter’s first three series.

Chris told Variety, “In the first film, there was not a lot of professional experience between the three leads. That’s why that film was filled with so many cuts. I could only really shoot, for the first three months, a close up of one of the actors before they would lose concentration.”

He further added, “The first couple of weeks, all the kids were so excited to be part of the Harry Potter film, they were basically just smiling into the cameras. I couldn’t get them to stop smiling, and it really became an exercise and acting class for me as a director. By the time we got to the second film,  the kids could shoot a master and have a conversation within those shots.”

The director continued that they became quite professional while shooting for Chamber of Secrets. By the time they did Prisoner Of Azkaban, he could basically shoot the entire film in 15 single takes.

As Harry Potter celebrates twenty years of its first film there are a number of special events being planned. Special film screenings are expected to be taking place in cinemas. So are games and quizzes based on the wizarding world.
