Magic tainted by technical awkwardness
If the release of the very first film in the saga Harry Potterdirected by Chris Columbusmarked an entire generation, some unexpected details have slipped into this magical universe, revealing the less delighted strings of cinema.
By dint of revision, attentive spectators today identify blunders as funny as it is improbable.
When the technique betrays magic
From the introduction, an informed eye can detect a long black cable-a manifestly poorly concealed micro-cravate-beyond the v-neck of V ofAunt Petuniawhile she is about to reveal the heap of birthday gifts to Dudley. This technical detail, visible on several levels before disappearing as if by magic at the change of angle, recalls that even the most scrutinized productions are not free from oversights.
Another false away: at the heart of the tumult of the letters of Hogwartthe voice that escapes from the mouth ofHarry To shout ” They’re my letters! “Does not correspond to his lips or his usual stamp. A late dubbing, undoubtedly linked to the early moulting of Daniel Radcliffeoffers a fairly disturbing desynchronized effect.
The backwards of the Hogwarts decor: apparent sons and bank logic
The dizzy list does not stop there. At the bend of the legendary confrontation against the troll in the girls’ toilet, the eye notices a curious detail: the central partition seems stuck to the ground under a flash and suddenly leaves enough space to allow Hermione to crawl far from the danger. A sleight of hand… purely scenographic.
The action scenes also reserve their share of surprises. During the first match of Quidditchwhen the broomHarry Mysteriously distinguishes itself, there is a clear distinction of a seat fixed under him – a device added for his security but that we should never have seen. This technical foray briefly breaks the illusion of magic flight.
Persistent burrs and revealed little hands
Some other blunders remain blatant. Here is a short list that illustrates the extent of the oversights:
- Under the sweater ofHermionewhen sequence of the flying keys, an electric cable remains suspended; Worse still, another thread is frankly exceeds.
- The post-fluffy leaves Ron miraculously dry after being pounded a few seconds earlier.
- Better (or worse): during a scene in the lianas of Sun Cogneura foreign hand visibly grips the Ron’s T-shirt in order to guide its outstanding movements.
Despite these very human imperfections which recall that each shoot is a matter of crafts sometimes improvised, the saga continues to seduce all generations combined. You have to believe that Hogwarteven errors know how to make themselves discreet … until the next attentive viewing.
