Because of the popularity of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, many businessmen approached John, hoping to obtain authorization to sell related peripherals.

Of course John agreed immediately, he had already figured out the peripherals. In addition, this was no longer his personal matter, but also related to the entire crew, so he had no reason to refuse.

The authorization given simply and neatly includes magic wands, chocolate frogs, strange-flavored beans, butter beer, four kinds of school robes, protagonists and other large and small things.

John even immediately placed a complete order with a businessman named Richard. He takes the high-end route. We specialize in the production of soldier models of various main characters, including a panoramic model of Hogwarts.

Figures generally refer to character models. It is static and immovable, and the character's clothes are not removable.

But the soldier's specialty is that he is fully mobile. It is a finely crafted model with all movable joints and clothes that can be put on and taken off. The general ratio is 1:6. Even the face can be made lifelike and can be put into various poses.

In his previous life, John had a set of soldier models of the protagonists, and he couldn't put them down. Every time I watch it, I feel like the characters from the magical world are right next to me. How could he miss it in this life?

After the authorization incident passed, John had to film on the set again in the following days.

The main filming location of the film is in a small town in northeast England, where is the hereditary castle of the Duke of Northumberland.

Most of the filming locations at Hogwarts Castle are here.

John and George have already arrived there with the crew, and the entire crew will be staying here for a week or two.

What will be filmed today is the scene where Harry discovers Mrs. Norris petrified on the wall after attending the 500th anniversary party of Headless Nick.

When Filch hurried over and the cat hugged him and howled horribly, Dumbledore and the professors quickly came over. Many students followed.

John put on a straight face and followed several professors into the camera range.

"Follow me, Filch," said Dumbledore, "and you too. Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger."

The silent crowd made way for them.

Lockhart walked over enthusiastically: "My office is nearest, it's upstairs - please use it as you like."

Dumbledore walked in front, Fitch was sobbing while holding his cat, and Lockhart looked very excited.

The trio followed, with McGonagall and Snape at the end.

The camera zoomed out, giving them a closer shot from the front. The stern expression on Dumbledore's face was striking. Next was Lockhart, who was still looking very proud of himself.

Chris watched the shot closely in front of the screen.

Even Harry couldn't help but sympathize with Filch in this kind of scene. Lockhart was still so complacent, which would definitely make the audience hate him.

It can be said that this shot was just right.

Chris was about to stop with satisfaction, but his eyes froze and his attention turned to the back -

in the same shot, the characters each had their own micro-expressions. Dumbledore is grim, Filch is sad, and Lockhart is elated. Harry and the trio were all restless and apprehensive. This is what the person in the front and center of the camera has to say.

McGonagall and Snape at the back were too far away, and they were just backgrounds. Logically speaking, as long as they had no expressions, that would be enough.

But Maggie is an old drama star, and her face is full of worry and contemplation as she walks far behind.

John was not the weaker one behind him - Snape's dark eyes were deep and he was looking at little Harry walking in front of him with complicated eyes.

Although it is not clear why Snape looked at Harry with such complicated and even painful eyes, John added scenes not once or twice. Chris had some suspicions about the future direction of Snape's identity, so he allowed John to develop freely.

And in this way, the entire shot became more vivid and fuller, even better than Chris originally imagined.

He grinned and shouted loudly: "Go!"

Since we had just taken the photo, we didn't let him rest and continued to the next one.

In Lockhart's office, Snape aggressively confronts Harry.

"Please allow me to say a few words, Headmaster." Snape said in a somewhat contemptuous tone, "Why on earth were they in the upstairs corridor at that time? Why not at the Halloween party?"

"There were hundreds of little watches there, They could tell you where we were -"

"But then why didn't you join the party?" Snape ignored him, his dark eyes sparkling in the candlelight. "Why did you go to the corridor?

" Look at Harry.

"Because - because - we are all tired and want to go to bed." Harry replied dryly.

"No supper?" Snape raised his left eyebrow and asked slowly, "I don't think ghosts will provide palatable food at banquets."

"We're not hungry!" Ron said loudly. But his voice was followed by the loud growling of his stomach.

Snape's dark eyes showed great malice.

He smiled: "Headmaster, I don't think Potter was completely honest."

Chris found that he really couldn't understand Snape.

His malice and dislike for little Harry can be clearly felt by everyone, and he seems to be forever working on finding something to do with little Harry, and then telling him to get out and go home.

But it was this man who was always protecting Harry. In the first movie too, when no one is paying attention, the way he looks at Harry becomes meaningful. Either empty or complicated, elusive.

But since John played Snape like this, the character will definitely not be so thin, nor will he be blindly bad, and there will definitely be many scenes in the future.

Although he is a director, Chris is also a fan of Harry Potter books. He also has great curiosity to know why this is the case.

But everything can only be revealed by John himself later.

I really can’t figure this guy out!

The author has something to say: Chris asked why Snape looked at Harry with complicated eyes?

——Because tonight is Halloween.
