Harry Potter Actors Who Injured Their Co-Stars While Filming

Filming can be dangerous business, especially when in the magical and mystical world of Harry Potter. Actors often wound up accidentally injuring each other while in the midst of intense action - never on purpose of course, but some of these accidents were rough!
Helena Bonham Carter nearly caused Matthew Lewis to go deaf after getting a bit too friendly with a wand - she did end up drawing blood and perforating his eardrum! Emma Watson caused a fair amount of pain to a few of her male colleagues whether she was feeling feisty and in the moment or she was taking a co-stars request a little too seriously - either way, it was a rough day for those actors she hurt! While we know Lucius Malfoy is generally evil, Jason Isaacs actually stabbed Tom Felton once on set early on in the franchise! Talk about tough parenting.
When Alan Rockman was on set, it was hard to tell whether he was being himself or Snape and this terrified the children - with good reason! Unfortunately, after the Snape actor had warned the young performers to be careful around his cloak, one young Hogwarts student messed up, accidentally causing injury to Rickman and earning a place in his bad books.
It’s not just actors that caused issues - the set and props caused their fair share of damage, giving actors allergic reactions, freezing the soles of feet, causing headaches, and putting them in precarious situations.
No matter the situation, the actors braved through and managed to make it to the end of filming fairly unharmed!
