Harry Potter is full of quirky characters just a stone's throw away from the main cast. While Harry, Ron and Hermione are all charming in their own way, today we thought we’d look at some underappreciated characters in the stories. The professors. The professors are all freaking amazing characters and the actors behind them are hilarious geniuses. Emma Thompson gave one of the most amazing improvised bits in all of improv history while Professor Umbridge was speaking. And Umbridge behind the scenes is played by one goofy Imelda Staunton who’s best buds with Maggie Smith. The two together are a charming pair. Maggie once threatened to whack a student with a scroll. Of course, she didn’t mean it but it was funny. Maggie’s Professor McGonagall taught Ron to dance and Rupert insisted nobody ever breathe a word of the situation. Once, he doodled a picture of Alan Rickman and Rickman’s response might surprise you since we’re all so used to serious Severus Snape. He was such a genuine and kind guy who loved to laugh, especially with Michael Gambon. Michael and Alan played the most amazing prank on Daniel Radcliffe once. And once, while Radcliffe was hanging out in the side-car of Hagrid’s motorcycle, Robbie Coltrane started goofing around and made everyone on set giggle. Coltrane also celebrated over the thousandth take of a scene and somebody has yet to tell him that’s not a good thing. Warwick Davis went crowd surfing but that wasn’t the original plan. Richard Harris might have mistaken one of the animatronics for a real animal and the other Dumbledore had a knack for making Radcliffe laugh. While Miriam Margolyes, aka Professor Sprout, traumatized him.

Lupin and Snape.
Snape
A moment of silence for Robbie Coltrane, Alan Rickman, Richard Harris, Michael Gambon and Richard Griffiths, who performed so marvellously in the Harry Potter films.
Amen.
There have been 20+ actors/actresses from the Harry Potter movies who have passed as of December 2022. Just thought you'd like to know...
@@ivanivonovich9863 any of these actors played a significant role that I should know about? I remember what happened to the poor guy who played the minor role of belby in the Half-Blood Prince. Other than him, I don't know.

@@ivanivonovich9863 wow, u don't have to, really. I'm really impressed that you were able to gather info on all of these people who tragically passed away. I take my hat off to you and I'll take it off for a moment of silence for all these talented people that have been lost.
I never thought seeing professor snape smile would be so wholesome
Yeah I bet when I saw the vid pictureof him actually smiling I thought that K was seeing things.
Alan was a great guy. The fact he could do the bad guy act really shows his talent
Yea it don’t sit right with me
:)
Alan Rickman has the most precious and beautiful smile in the world, I love how his face brightens when he smiles
All of the professors were perfectly cast, especially Maggie Smith. I couldn't imagine anyone else but her as McGonagall!
I have 2 other movies with Maggie Smith. she was awesome in Sister Act, back in the habit , Sister act 2! she is amazing actress!
Lupin was miscast. Jeremy Irons should have taken the role.
@@Janograd Totally Agree. Imagine having Scar as him
@@jamieandjasminecretz8755 I didn't know she was in Sister Act!! I Loved her in HOOK and Secret Garden. She was So Mean in Secret Garden
There are three who I absolutely feel the actor was perfect for the role. Her, Rickman as Snape, and Branagh as Lockhart
The prank on Daniel was the funniest one especially Alan's laugh🤣🤣🤣
I love seeing Alan as Snape laughing with Dumbledore over a farting prank 😂
@@Hufflepuff_cookie Is there someone who doesn't?🤣🤣🤣
@@Hufflepuff_cookie me too its hilarious. He needs learn take jokes. Its bodily function
How would you react? 😅
I can't stop laughing at that part
It's incredibly wholesome of Alan Rickman to have kept Rupert's doodle, had him sign it and refer to it so fondly. Then again, maybe it was an excuse to bring out his inner Hans Gruber from time to time...
what do you mean by inner Hans?)
@@behindmyblueeyes99Alan Rickman played a bad guy names Hans grubber in the very first Die Hard movie.
How I imagine Snape in an alternate universe pulling silly pranks I would pay all my money just to see this!
Or a long long twin brother
Snape takes on James' roll as the prankster father for Harry?
@@insanejay3777 I feel like if James was friendlier towards Snape as a child and he was part of their group of friends, things could’ve definitely have opened up the possibility for Snape or Sirius (one who wouldn’t have been sent to Azkaban mind you) to fill a fatherly role for Harry after his parents died by having raised him instead of the Dursleys.
We ARE the alternate universe
@@hiddendesire3076 i think that someone should maybe write a fanfiction about it, an alternate retelling of harry potter.. that'd be cool
Seeing probably the rudest teacher smile warms my heart
I would not say he (Snape?) was being rude. Rather he was just not fond of Harry, Ronald, or Hermione. And knowing Snape's back story, one can see why. Emotionally Cold is what I would call it.
I also enjoyed that clip of Mcgonagal and Umbridge. Lady for Umbridge did a fantastic job, in that clip with Mcgonagal she seems so sweet and genuine but on screen she seems so genuinely evil.
the one who didn't seem to care at all is the one who cared the most -jk rowling
Richard Harris talking to Fawks as if he was real just brings tears to my eyes. He was and is my Dumbledore!
Kinda makes him seem senile tbh lol.
The bird really did look real.
@Theodore Carter Which would be one thing if it was a peacock or something and not a Phoenix, thats like believing a dinosaur animatronic is a real animal because it looks realistic. I find this story hard to believe.
Always
@@A_Black_Sheep94 Nah, just makes him seem like an imaginative Irishman.
RIP Robbie Coltrane. Such an amazing person, and a phenomenal actor. He will be greatly missed. 🤍
RIP chester Bennington
Wait who’s Robbie the deep voice professor?
Never mind I know now🥲
@@Happines2386 he's hagrid I think?
Yes, he was Hagrid.
Seeing snape with a humurous sense is so odd, yet pleasant.
RIP to all of the perfect people in Harry Potter who lost their lives they were all beautiful actors and are and always will be missed
Just discovered the actor Leslie Philips, who voiced the part of the “Sorting Hat”, passed away at 98 on November 8.
@@LifenaDay525 yeah I saw that, RIP to him and all :(
Wow. Didn't know that. So Iconic
@@LifenaDay525 As of December 2022, there have been around 20+ actors/actresses from the franchise who have passed.
@@LifenaDay525 at least he died of very old age, that's reassuring most of the cast died in their 70s or even sooner each time i rewatch those movies i discover somebody else died and it's so sad...
"Harry farts" Dumbledore pressed the button calmly
I find it really sweet to think about the fact that some of these actors who played people like the proffesors, got to watch Emma, Rupert, and Daniel grow up.
And some of them didn't. RIP Richard Harris. Also Alan Rickman, and Robbie Coltrane.
@@Milamberinx :(
Alan's bloopers with Snape and the prank was to die for. Love him so much. May he rest in peace.
Umbridge “Blah blah blah disloyalty!” Mcgonagall “ohhoho!”
My sister was a chaperone for the three main characters in the first 2films. Her son my nephew was Daniel’s double in the second film. Her daughter was amongst the kids in the hall. My sister said that Alan Rickman was an amazing man he was her favourite.
I've heard nothing but good things about Alan Rickman. I got his autobiography but haven't read it yet. He was taken way too young. Such a sad thing.
Who were the three main characters in the 3rd through 8th film?
@@brettnelson7518 the same main characters as the first two films. Harry, Ron and Hermione. You've watched the movies and read the books haven't you?
@@brettnelson7518 Pretty sure what they meant was that their sister was only chaperone for those 3 in the first 2 films' filming.
so glad to hear. I love Alan Rickman ♥ What do you mean by chaperone if you don't mind me asking
There is something so wholesome about original dumbledore believing in the animatronic Phoenix being real and everyone keeping up the act until he sadly passed I love it
They did tell him it's not real, lol. Chris Columbus and David Heyman did.
How do all these actors feel like family to me? Love them all.
You and millions of others
Me too!! 😭
SAME 😭
They had worked with each other for years, of course, they'll be closer than most actors.
Alan Rickman aka Professor Snape my all time favourite character. He's the actual Hero of the whole Harry Potter series. ❤
Same here. I miss him….
6:05 blah blah blah blah, disloyalty, maggie: ohhh!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hermione Granger has reputation for being the serious one in the group, but apparently on set Emma Watson was known for her competitive nature. Helena Bonham Carter, Matthew Lewis had a wand mishap on set and Tom Felton had no idea one of his co-stars actually had a crush on him!
It’s amazing how disconnected your statements are
@@swyxTV fr 💀
Who had a crush on Felton?
@@demiladeo4209 Emma had a crush on Tom, it was on interviews and stuff
@@swyxTV I've read their comment ten times and still can't figure out what they're trying to say, bruh.
RIP Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman. Two of the most memorable character characters in Harry Potter.
And Richard Harris!!
@@daisygirlmochi768 Yes!
Now Michael Gambon rest in peace Dumbledore
My first experience with Rickman was in Robin Hood. His character was hilarious. The movie would not have been nearly as good without that acerbic wit, and his delivery was outstanding
Mine was galaxy quest
@@Simpai_v "I see you managed to get your shirt off."
My favorite line in that movie was one he actually improvised. " I'll cut his heart out with a spoon ". I don't think there's a movie that Alan Rickman was in that I haven't enjoyed.
Don’t forget Alan Rickman in Die Hard! Very well played by him.
Mine was The January Man. Ed.
Alan Rickman and Micheal Gambon pranked on Daniel was just hilarious. Rest In Peace too all the amazing actors who've passed away ✨️
I love how it is always the people playing the bad guys that are always actually the nicest people IRL.
harry potter taught a full grown woman, it was ok to be a kid again and believe in fantasy, and for that, ill be forever grateful. changed my life even as an old lady
That’s awesome (:
Me too
This is so sweet! ❤
When in a movie with kids as the main characters, the adults cause the most retakes. Loving it.
It's the uncle/grandpa instincts, wanna make the little ones laugh and enjoy themselves
I miss knowing that Alan Rickman is out there in this world being fabulous💔
I love those movies watch them a lot. So sad that Robbie passed away and Alan too they are so missed…
And Richard!
And Helen McCory!
Dumbledore and Snape pulling a fart prank on Daniel during a take though... And never knew prof. Flitwick stage diving & crowdsurfing was meant as a joke! 😂🤣
"I'll not be here, sadly. But Hagrid will." RIP Robbie Coltrane
I'm 60 yes of age. And love the Harry potter franchise. Rupert grint is so angelic looking. And I would of loved being involved with the practical joke side of things. Good on Alan rickman with the far machine gag. Hilarious. God rest him.
I love Richard Harris 😅! I love how he talked to the Phoenix and thought it was real
Seeing Alan rickman as snape smile is so wholesome♥♥♥
Rest in peace Allen Rickman and Robby
Alan’s annunciation and inflections were perfection. Emma Thompson is also such a versatile actor!
Seeing Imelda Staunton and her happiness on set makes me smile. She did a fantastic job of playing a character we all hate with a passion!
Apparently she also hated the character and, at times, felt physically ill when playing Umbridge. True commitment.
@@JohnnyShagbot Yeah I bet. Playing someone totally opposite to your true self must be difficult. Definitely sounds like it would be sickening to do
There were such amazing actors in these films. Absolutely beautiful, and amazing. Robbie coltrain, and Maggie Smith were my favorites. The fact that she had cancer and still did her best made me love her so much more. And who doesn't love Hagrid ( Robbie coltrain) Rip Robbie.
Imelda and Maggie chatting like it's tea time.... Holy.. they're so good bringing these characters to life that you almost forgot they're just acting
FYI ‘1000 - take 1’, refers to shot 1000 first take. Often on productions they have a little celebration when they reach shots 100, 200 etc. Hence Robbie Coltrane was following tradition.
Oh, thank you. I was like…THAT scene took 1,000 takes?! 😂
RIP for all the actors who have passed ❤
Do I wish I could go back in time and watch them all for the first time? Always… 😍
Seeing how sweet Snape, Umbrige and Filch are in real life is quite wholesome!
Whenever I hear someone say they haven't seen or read a classic film or book that I so thoroughly enjoyed I just become downright envious. There a special excitement that you can only get the first time. You might immensely enjoy watching or reading it again for a second or subsequent time, which I have done many times, but nothing really measures up to the wonder of the first time round.
I'm not sure about Richard Harris being "too gentle for this world", he was more than a bit of a hell-raiser and a fair drinker, but he was a superb actor and an absolute triumph as Dumbledore. Much as I like Michael Gambon I often compare Richard Harris' calm, quiet, delivery to that of his successor and doubt he would ever have needed to raise his voice - he had the presence to make the character one of those people whom most would never want to disappoint, which is more effective. I wonder if really thought Fawkes was real (which seems unlikely) though or if he was just playing with the crew but, either way, I think the way the animators responded to the interaction was really sweet and if he genuinely didn't know then I'm glad he went to his grave without being let down by finding the truth. It would have been like discovering there is no Father Christmas.
I hate to tell you (& the producers of this) the Michael Gambon & not Richard Harris played Dumbledore in The Order of the Phoenix. Richard Harris was in films 1-2; Michael Gambon, films 3-8.
@@thekittycatnetwork But Fawkes was in the second movie (i.e. Richard Harris), so I don't know what you are trying to correct.
I highly doubt that was true, I mean it doesn’t even look remotely real. I think if what was reported was true he was the one pulling a prank on the animatronics team.
Of course I experience new thing every time I watch a Harry Potter movie so it will never get old. Thanks
4:05 I can literally hear Snape being wholesome there ❤❤❤❤
To all of the actors who stared in harry Potter who unfortunately passed away: You all did an amazing job in the movie series, no words can describe how sad I was when I found out you all passed away..you all did great jobs in the series
How are they even going to read this?
Emma Thompson! I can't stop laughing!
I didn't even know that was her at first with her costume on Lol
@@kimberlyarrington5721 neither did i, i thought i recognised her specially the eyes but with those glasses it was hard to tell
That oooOoOooOooOo~ from Maggie made me laugh so hard😂
Never, ever narrate clips of bloopers. Just never do it.
Agreed, but at least it wasn’t one of those horrible automated voices.
Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, and Richard Harris were angels. Rest in absolute and everlasting peace.❤❤❤
i think what peoples like most about these bloopers is seeing Severus Rogue smile and laugh and being friendly to harry , something we dont see in the movies .
Rest In Peace, Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane and Richard Harris. 🕯🕯🕯
One day we need the young actors of this franchise to play the adult roles.
Yes. How cool would it be?
I was just saying it would be great to continue the saga with the original characters as teachers and THEIR children as students! That could make for some very interesting scenes/plot lines!
Check out the "Canon" stories that have been in the works. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Or read some of Rowilngs own baseline stories as to what happens to the characters after they leave school.
Harry Potter movies are some of my all time favorites. Love ALL the actors in all the movies. I can’t even count how many times I’ve watched them all and I’m 71.
The only Movie series where I managed to read all the books and watch all the movies. All with the main characters in each, Never was done before, first of its kind. Perfect for kids and parents. I was married with three kids when the kids made Harry Potter the buzz, checked out the first book and was hooked. Took me back to being a child and was a way to connect with my kids.
I'm 58 now and even I wish I could experience it all again for the first time.
I'm 70 and wish the same thing. Even though we are not related, I was captivated by Emma Watson from the first movie!😍 I travelled by steam train to grammar school, which contributes to my love of these movies.
Why do I find the scene of rupert dancing with Mcgonnagall is so funny-
I would love to experience it again back in time as little wizards. We didn't have as fast internet when Harry potter came out to see interviews and bloopers so now is fun too
"Allan rickman was standing right behind me, and I was so scared" LMAO poor rupert
That's "RUPERT"...
@@ivanivonovich9863 geez ok
I wish they would show the drawing
I think it’s weird seeing Professor Snape smiling and laughing while in costume.
The fart prank makes me laugh every time I watch it 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Ron calmly being an artist instead of writing-
I love watching Harry Potter movies every time they come on TV. I enjoy watching him grow up. It makes me think of my 3 children growing up.
Alan rickman being the coolest actor i like watching. He'd have to be my most favorite actor. I wish i could have met him.
To go back and be a kid again, and see these movies for the first time in theater every couple of years thinking itd never end. The end of the harry potter series felt like the beginning of being an adult.
Talking about the phoenix: "nobody ever told him the bird was fake and we think it's just better we keep it that way" Don't worry, I don't think he'll ever know 🤣
Please they’re all so precious 😂❤
I loved Harry Potter! I read every book twice and I saw every movie with my son. I fell in love with the books before I was halfway through the first one. I hated to see it end.
You have no idea how much this helped change my day to good really needed that smile
Still so interesting to watch all these years later, great franchise for sure.
Now micheal and alan can be freinds once again ❤ RIP two fantastic actors
It would be the best thing in the world to travel back in time just to watch harry potter a second first time around, magical!!
I was 5 when I went to see the philosophers stone with my parents in an old cinema in Liverpool (which is no longer there) and I can still remember it. I rewatched them all last week and thoroughly enjoyed them. Brilliant.
This is my first time seeing Alan smiling 😂😂😂
8 minutes and 29 seconds in to the video and I have yet to see one single 'blooper'. This is going to be an epic final second.
Ah, this video melted my heart.
RIP Robbie... It's not Hogwarts without Hagrid
Thank you for sharing, I love blooper videos!
The magic this series produced for my son and me was electric. Both of us were so excited when the new trailers came out!
Can you imagine all the goofing around through the years?! What an amazing, interesting, funny and exciting time they must have had making such epic movies!
I’d EASILY go back in time and watch them all for the first time. 😍😭
We’ve lost a few, Richard, Robbie and Alan, RIP.
The fart prank should have been in the gag reels Allen was a great actor and an awesome person poor Daniel 😂
RIP all those wonderful actors who have passed on
I would love to go back to when I first saw Harry Potter the first time. My son and sister were also there and both have passed since then.
So sorry 💔
Really liked all the bloopers in the Harry Potter scenes
I was talking about just the other day. I started reading books to my child, and she never got to hear the ending to the first book because I kept on reading when she wasn't there that she lost out. Because I didn't want to go back where I left off when reading to her in the book. When the movie came out, it was a deal.
Its just heart warming if you hear that they moved the pheonix to keep the impression that it is alive❤
I love Maggie and Alan so much 😂
I loved Snape!!
i wish i could watch all the movies for the first time after completing the books, and watch snape's life. i don't know but i can connect to his pain.
I will never get tired seeing those guys,ever!
Snape prank was the best😂😂
Rip all of the actors and the beautiful actress who passed during and after filming

I cherish all the first times that I watched Harry Potter as they were with my nephew. And sometimes we dressed up and went to the book premieres too. He was a great Mad Eye Moody.
I smiled watching this. That was beautiful time of my childhood. And then i felt sad because i'll never feel that miracle time again :(
I so wanted Alan Rickman to portray Edgar Allan Poe in a movie.
