10 Movie Reshoots That Happened For Ridiculous Reasons
4. Harry Potter Isn't 75! - Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2
After eight films, the Harry Potter film series bowed out with an epilogue scene that showed our young heroes as mature parents with young kids of their own. And just like that, every person who grew up with these movies realised how old they had become.
The epilogue did require a reshoot due to the crew going ridiculously overboard with the "old" makeup. The original version of the scene had Daniel Radcliffe in a grey wig (apparently they thought that future Harry was aged 75 instead of 37). Rupert Grint admitted that the heavy prosthetics and fake belly they initially gave him made him look like a "monster Donald Trump."
Upon viewing, everybody agreed that the scene looked awful and they came to the decision that only a few digital tweaks on each character would be enough to age them. They were right.
