Harry scarred!

Harry's infamous scar has been created by make-up artists about 5,800 times. This is not only on Daniel Radcliffe, who has had the scar applied approx 2,000 times, but also on his doubles and stunt doubles, all of whom wear the lightning scar. 

Magic wands

Daniel Radcliffe wore out almost 70 wands during the making of the Harry Potter films. Every wand that you see in the films is unique; even the Weasley twins had one-of-a-kind wands. 

Babies galore!

The Harry Potter art department was a team of 58 people working full time. Over 10 years they produced some amazing work, but also found time to produce 35 babies! 

Inspired by the abbey

The design of Dumbledore's regal chair in the film was inspired by a throne in Westminster Abbey.

Studio sharing

Apart from the Potter series, other movies shot at the Leavesden Studios in England include Sleepy Hollow, Golden Eye, Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace and Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
