The set of the "Harry Potter" films was the subject of a memoir written by TomFelton.
To shoot a flying scene, the actors had to look at tennis balls.
The costar looked at a picture of a beautiful woman.
The "Harry Potter" costar had a crush on the actress, according to Tom.
The movie magic that went into scenes that involved flying on broomsticks was explained in his memoir.
The approach was that if a piece of magic could be achieved practically, that was the best way to do it. The visual effects teams had less- advanced technology at their disposal.
The studio where flying was done was wrapped in a blue or green screen so the background could be added in post-production.
The pole with the bike saddle was made of metal. There was a harness and stirrups for you to use if you fell. They strapped you to the pole and used a see-saw device to move you up and down. They made it look like you had the wind in your hair by blowing fans in your face.
It was important that the players looked in the right direction for the shot. This continuity in the eye lines was achieved with a crew member holding up a tennis ball on a pole with orange tape on it.
He said that when the first assistant director shouted 'Dragon!' or 'Bludger!' you had to look at the tennis ball.
There would be more than one tennis ball up there, and as one looked very much like another, after a while they gave us more individual objects to look at. We took pictures of something or someone that was close to us. There was a picture of a pretty girl in it.
Felton is an avid fisherman and took a picture of an even more beautiful carp.
