The Weekly Pensieve 🤯

For this week’s pensive, we bring a fact that you may not know about that happened during the making of the Harry Potter movies:

🎬 In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the scene where Harry jumps into the Prefect’s Bathroom was filmed using a real 50-foot-deep water tank!

He trained with professional divers and logged over 40 hours underwater during filming. But here’s the kicker:
At one point, his safety team had to call a halt to filming because he kept staying under too long — he was having so much fun, he kept ignoring the “go up” signals.

The production ended up using hand signals, lights, and underwater speakers to keep him safe and in character. So when you watch that dreamy bathroom scene — just know it was basically a mini-aquatic stunt shoot.

✨ However, don’t fly off just yet!


Even more spellbinding surprises are brewing in our cauldron. Keep your eyes peeled for the next Weekly Howler—trust us, you won’t want to miss the magical news and unexpected finds we have in store! 🦉💌
