10 Most Unusual Demands By Harry Potter Actors
7. Alan Rickman's Rules Surrounding His Car
With the school setting on the Harry Potter series, there came the balance of young actors and seasoned veterans of the profession. There was still some excellent chemistry between these two groups, but of course there were struggles as well.
Working with children brings with it a certain amount of challenges, whether it be childish behaviour, the forgetting of lines, or the kind of attention span that can send some kids into a frenzy. Alan Rickman found a certain difficulty with two of the Hogwarts students while filming The Order of the Phoenix.
By the time the fifth movie came along, Rupert Grint and Matthew Lewis were less boys and more growing into young men, and while this may have stopped some of the childish behaviour, there will always be a mischievous side to them at this age. In this instance, it was spilling milkshake on Rickman’s car.
This resulted in the two receiving a ban from the Snape actor of being within 5 meters of his brand new BMW. The fact that Rickman himself was a wonderful man suggests that this was done more in jest than anything else, but you certainly wouldn’t have wanted to test this theory, would you?
