What The Harry Potter Cast Went Through In Makeup And Prosthetics To Achieve The Magic You See On Screen! Subscribe: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Things Being in a Harry Potter movie might seem like a dream come true, but in reality it wasn’t all fun and games. Especially when it came to the intense amounts of prosthetics and makeup that many of the cast and crew were forced to wear. Often, these makeup transformations meant spending an extra three or four hours sitting perfectly still in the makeup trailer while an artist covered their face in uncomfortable glue and fake body parts! This is especially true for when it came time to create magical creatures like Goblins! For each of the Gringotts goblins, and Griphook in particular, the process started at four in the morning! They had so much makeup on that they couldn’t move their faces, and contact lenses that prevented them from seeing. Being a body double for Hagrid was no easy feat either, as the actor was covered in an animatronic Hagrid mask, and huge, heavy padding complete with tubes of cooling water so he didn’t pass out from the heat! Daniel Radcliffe didn’t escape the makeup chair either, especially when it came to the intense underwater scenes during The Goblet of Fire. David Thewlis as Professor Lupin, Emma Thompson as Professor Trelawney, and Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom had their fair share of makeup troubles too, along with Draco Malfoy’s dad Lucius and Abberforth Dumbledore! Luckily for Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, they were able to get away without too much suffocating makeup and prosthetics, but they were probably the only ones who did! 00:00 Intro 00:35 Underwater Nightmare 01:14 Hagrid’s Transformation 01:53 Gringotts Goblins 02:31 Becoming Griphook 03:12 Applying Aberforth 03:40 Inflating Aunt Marge 04:10 Making a Werewolf 04:46 Peter Pettigrew 05:13 Lucius’ Changes 05:39 Mad Eye’s Eye 06:15 Creating Voldemort 07:00 Harry’s Arm 07:31 Trelawney’s Eyeballs 07:54 Battle Scars 08:24 Epilogue Transformation 08:47 Outro Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheThingscom/ For more videos and articles visit: https://www.thethings.com Written by: Emelia Hellman Narrated by: Mia Jabara Edited by: V.Serhii For copyright matters please contact us at: [email protected]
