10 Most Paused Harry Potter Moments

8. The Cameraman At The Duelling Club

Gilderoy Lockhart is an inept, fame-hungry moron and a useless teacher. Despite this, his new duelling club is popular with the students of Hogwarts, who trot along hoping to learn some defensive magic.

During the proceedings, Harry and Draco face off against each other, and – predictably – Draco cheats by attacking before he’s supposed to. Harry is quick to respond, however. He gets back up and fires a jinx directly at Draco.

This leads to one of the most infamous blunders in the entire series. As Snape grabs Malfoy and forces him to his feet, there’s a crew member on the left-hand side of the screen.

It’s easy to miss amongst the swarm of black-cloaked pupils. But if you pause at the right moment, you’ll catch this mistake.
