Harry Potter: 10 Scenes Actors Hated Filming
4. Hermione Arrives At The Yule Ball - Emma Watson
Shortly after the First Task, Harry and his friends are faced with yet another challenge: the Yule Ball. It’s a big night for everyone, especially Hermione, who’s managed to get a date with the famous Quidditch player Viktor Krum.
Hermione’s big entrance is a great moment in her personal journey. For the first time, the glamorous side of her personality comes to the foreground as she descends the stairs and makes her way to the Great Hall.
However, Emma Watson didn’t enjoy filming this scene – not at all. Director Mike Newell, fully aware of the importance of the moment, bombarded the actress with instructions. Though Emma did her best to keep up, it was a while before the director was satisfied. And to make matters worse, Emma actually fell down the stairs at one point.
You’d think walking down a set of steps would be the easiest thing in the world – but Emma’s experience was far from fun.
