Harry Potter Actors Share Rules They Hated Following

[@DisWldFrk90]

@@chihebbaazaoui9388 Which is why I'm not an advocate for kids to professionally work in movies. They do have reasons for putting super strict rules on them due to what goes into making a film. Doesn't mean it's good for the kid. There's a reason many child actors explode once they grow up or at the very least struggle with a lot of mental health.

[@alibabapirce9782]

the only diffrence is this was 8 movies split over 10 years (even more technically but im to lazy to search production years) most films with exception of series like marvel or tv shows they just take one year

[@shepwillner7507]

Yeah, and even then the studio had to lobby Parliament and the labor ministry to change the child labor laws to ensure the kids xcould work on the movies while also getting schoolwork completed. Still, I have to wonder who supervised the kids when they were not working or completing their work, their parents? How did they ensure that the kids were eating properly, bathing, grooming, dressing properly for public appearances, etc.,--were their agents and maangers involved in all these activities?

[@DisWldFrk90]

@@shepwillner7507 I only know some details of how the Harry Potter set worked so my information is a bit limited as to somebody who regularly worked on it, but I do have some information. As to how they were eating; much of their meals were actually on the set. The set had a cafeteria for the actors and crew members to eat breakfast and lunch. Sometimes dinner, but child actors usually aren't on set long enough for dinner. What they ate when they left and went home; that would be on their parents. As to if they had to adhere to a certain diet; I don't know for sure but I would not be surprised as that is common with actors/actresses in general. Many of them are told what they can and cannot eat; but it's usually to maintain an image or keep a part of their body healthy (I.E. singers often have a diet for their singing voices). In the case of the Harry Potter kids, diet wouldn't really affect their image much so it's also possible no one said anything to them about their diet at all. Grooming and bathing; make up department isn't going to give them a bath of course, but the make up department would notice if grooming was getting too difficult with them and their parents would have been spoken to about it were that to come up as if they are not bathing/grooming properly at home it's going to take the make up department even longer to get them ready for filming and their job takes long enough as it is. Especially with girls as the girls often have longer hair they have to get done. Dressing properly for public appearances; I guarantee their agents/managers had a say in that as that's key to their career image. Actors/Actresses almost never get to 100% pick what they are going to wear for a public appearance. They'll usually have a choice in clothing from the wardrobe department, but they are limited as to the outfits they can choose.

Oh there are plenty of strict stories out there. Especially with child actors.

So one day it all just explodes and they make up for years worth of steam they never got a chance to blow off!

[@SagaciousNihilist]

WIth the exception of the Pedophiles who run the industry of course.

[@shepwillner7507]

Especially when the actors are kids. The problem of child acting in the entertainment industry is that the child labor laws restrict their performance onset while requiring that the kids also complete schoolwork. At the same time, kid actors' families are not provided sufficient outside support about handling medical care, financial management, and other topics of daily life that the folks in the real world have to handle. For example, if Home Alone actor Maccaulay Culkin had a manager or agent who could handle his Dad with respect to the actor's salary while filming Home Alone and its sequel, ,would the kid had a better family relationship with his Dad while not having to deal with his being a minor? Also, if Danny Bonaduce, who played Danny Partridge on his eponymous TV show, had better support while that show was produced, would he have had a better acting career long after he hung up his guitar? Consider what happened to Dana Plato, who played beautiful sister Kimberly Drummond on "Diff'rent Strokes". Would she have avoided her fate as a substance abuser who succombed to that illness if somebody from the studio had provided her with really good support after her show wrapped? I also ask the same question for her castmate Gary Coleman, who played her brother Arnold on that show: would he have avoided any problems if the studio had spent some money to provide him with a good manager after the show stopped filming? I rest my case: Hollywood does a horrible job of providing support to its child actors, whether they're on-set or off-camera. Good thing I didn't work for the entertainment industry.

Considering that the Prisoner of Azkaban really set the arc of the Harry Potter family story and James Potter's friends until Snape, Lupin and Sirius Black dies in subsequent movies, I would have had trouble watching subsequent movies without Radcliffe, Grint and Watson playing their roles. In fact, I would have a hard time buying their replacements in the roles that made them famous just like I do with the JJ Abrams' reboot of Star Trek with Chris Pine, Zach Quinto, Zoe Soldana, and Kurt Urban playing Kirk, Spock, Uhura, and McCoy.

In addition, when Draco and his wife said farewell to their son Scorpius in the final scene on the Hogwarts Express train platform, Draco showed himself to be better than he was as a Hogwarts bully.

[@gerardphelan7996]

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.

Many of these children haven't chosen to become actors by themselves. It's usually their parents who set this path up. Growing up means to experiment and make mistakes along the way. Child actors can not do that. If they do, their career is over before it even started. This is the reason you see so many child actors become totally mad once they reach adulthood. You can see a similar pattern with children who grew up in a very strict home. Yes, some child actors make millions of dollars and some of them even come out pretty well afterwards. For many of them it doesn't turn out too well.

[@Triad3Force]

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.

I won't explain the situation with Jamie, as someone else already has. But the male you seen in the last couple of films is Blaise Zabini. He's a member of Malfoy's gang, was in the Slug Club & on the Slytherin Quidditch team. Unlike in the adaptations, he actually does stuff in the books.

[@shepwillner7507]

Yeah, there was somebody else attempting to escape the fire in the Room of Requirement: Blaise Zambini. He started appearing in the HP movies as a character in the Half-Blood Prince movie. If you read the Half-Blood Prince book, you would have learned that he was a Black wizard student whose mother had a deadly reputation for killing her husbands for their money, e.g., she was a gold-digging Black Widow.

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

[@shepwillner7507]

That's especially the case in the medical and legal professions. And if you're a legal eagle in the UK and you work in the courtrooms, you have to wear little wigs made of horsehair and wear a special robe while working as a barrister. How do I know? There was a novel written by Leon Uris back in the 70s titled "QB-VII," that descibed how barristers are trained in the Four Inns of Legal Learning: Gray's Inn, Lincoln's Inn, Inner Temple, and Outer Temple. Another source: the USA Cable channel show called "Taking Silk". Lastly, if you're a fan of JAG, there was a two-part episode that was filmed on location in Sydney, Australia that had Harmon Rabb facing off against Mic Brumby, in a courtroom that had him and Bud Roberts attired as barristers, complete to wigs and robes.

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.

[@shepwillner7507]

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.

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!

[@CeliriaRose]

I think the time frame would be the biggest hurdle more than the rules. 10 years is a long time especially for a kid who is basically selling part of their childhood and most of their teenage years. Sure they end up making a lot of money but that money is in exchange for time and experiences you won't get back not to mention the risk of getting caught in a long term contract for something you might begin to regret or not want to be part of any more but at that point you don't have a choice because you signed the contract. So at some point even for millions of dollars it can easily end up not being worth it.

[@shepwillner7507]

I'm not sure whether I would have given up a huge paycheck like millions of bucks or British pounds while avoiding the violation of stupid studio rules. The real question is whether I would turn out to be less of a jackass in real life after earning all that moolah. That's where hiring a good manager and/or agent would have ensured that I did not turn into a celebrity jackass or had substance abuse issues.

@@CeliriaRose I wonder if actor Michael J. Fox felt the same way considering he gave up seven years of his life to play Alex Keaton on "Family Ties." Wil Wheaton gave up six years of his life to play Wesley Crusher on ST TNG, Cirroc Lofton gave up a similar number of years to play Jake Sisko on ST DS9, and some other actors gave up X years of their lives to play various characters. Of course, Fox earned millions from performing the Alex Keaton that role along with Marty McFly in the "Back to the Future" movies, his appearance on "Spin City" and later on "The Good Wife" as a lawyer.

[@lxNaginixl]

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.

The rules were probably typed up and contained in a 3-ring binder stored on Director Chris Columbus's shelf somewhere on the set. That binder was probably a living document, meaning it could be revised occasionally, such as when the kid actors became older and learned things that were out of character, e.g., driver's education, taking the driving license exam, learning how to balance a checkbook for a bank account, etc.: Here's an example of a possible work rule that could be found in that binder: "The Actors shall not break character by writing a check and presenting it to another Actor for any Purchases or for any debt payments. Instead Actors shall use the Magical currency the Studio has created for purchases in all Harry Potter shoppes."

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.

If you're making a film based off book characters...don't change their important aspects? 2. They were kids. Just because you're working on a film doesn't mean you shouldn't get an education.
