At the start of The Deathly Hallows Part 1, the Order of the Phoenix are tasked with removing Harry from his aunt and uncle's house. It's a tricky operation that requires Hermione, Fred, George, Fleur, and Mundungus to drink the Polyjuice Potion and transform into Harry.

Watching these transformations is a great piece of entertainment, and the cast and crew had plenty of fun as well. When filming the transformations, Daniel Radcliffe had to don women’s clothing, which – in addition to being an amusing spectacle – wasn’t exactly straightforward, particularly when it came to unfastening Fleur’s bra. Indeed, Daniel struggled to remove this undergarment, ruining several takes in the process.

But far from feeling embarrassed, Daniel ended up being totally comfortable with his new wardrobe:

“I was thrilled. That was one of the things I was delighted about. I look fantastic in women’s clothing.”

According to director David Yates, it took three days to shoot this scene, and by the end of it, he also admitted that Daniel was remarkably good at embodying his female co-stars.
