Jason Isaacs has a “terrible confession” about the Harry Potter movies . While audiences worldwide were dazzled by the magic of the franchise, the Lucius Malfoy actor, 61, revealed that the movies weren’t as fascinating to make. “It’s a terrible confession to make, they weren’t that much fun to make.
It’s quite boring, making big special effects films,” Isaacs said on the Monday, February 24, episode of the BBC’s The One Show . “The pleasures all come afterwards,” Isaacs continued. “I see and meet people for whom their lives were changed by it, and still people reading it and sharing it with their children.
Some people say their lives were saved by it and I believe it.” Related: 'Harry Potter' Stars Reuniting Over the Years: Photos Isaacs played Draco Malfoy’s cunning father in six of the eight Harry Potter movies released between 2001 and 2011 starring Daniel Radcliffe , Emma Watson and Rupert Grint . According to Isaacs, while there were a lot of special effects involved in creating the magic of Harry Potter , seeing the grand sets of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in person remains a joy.
“Even though I was in the films, when I’ve taken godchildren or nephews and nieces to the tour and the thing comes up and suddenly, you’re in the Great Hall, every time, I burst out in tears,” Isaacs said. “It’s incredibly moving and overwhelming. There’s some magic that happened in those stories.
