John Snape of HP

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

John naturally agreed immediately, he had already figured out the surroundings.In addition, this is no longer his personal matter, but the entire crew is also related, so he has no reason to refuse.

The authorizations given out neatly include wands, chocolate frogs, strange beans, butter beer, four kinds of school robes, protagonists and other large and small things.

John even placed an order for a full set right away with a merchant named Richard.He took the high-end route.Specially made soldier models of each main character, including Hogwarts panorama model.

Figures generally refer to character models.Static and non-movable, the clothes of the characters cannot be disassembled.

But the specialty of soldiers is that they are fully movable.It is a finely crafted model with fully movable joints and clothes that can be put on and taken off.The general ratio is 1:6.Even the face can be made so lifelike that it can pose in various poses.

In the previous life, John had a set of soldier models of the protagonists, and he couldn't put it down.Every time I watch it, I feel that those characters in the wizarding world are by my side.How could he miss it in this life?

After the authorization incident passed, John had to shoot on the crew again in the following days.

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

Most of the filming spots of Hogwarts Castle are here.

John and George have been there with the crew, and the whole crew will be staying here for a week or two.

Today will be filming the scene where Harry finds Mrs. Norris petrified on the wall after attending the 500-year death anniversary party of Headless Nick.

When Filch came rushing up, hugging his cat and howling horribly, Dumbledore came quickly with the professors.Many students followed.

John sullenly made a blank expression, and walked into the camera range with several professors.

"Come with me, Filch," said Dumbledore. "You too. Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger."

The silent crowd made way for them.

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

Dumbledore walked ahead, Filch was sobbing with his cat in his arms, and Lockhart looked very excited.

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

The camera zooms out, giving them a closer shot from the front.The stern expression on Dumbledore's face was very eye-catching.Followed by Lockhart, who was still complacent.

Chris carefully observes this shot in front of the screen.

Even Harry couldn't help feeling sympathetic to Filch in this kind of scene, and Lockhart was so complacent that the audience would definitely start to hate him.

It can be said that this shot is just right.

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

In the same shot, the characters each have their own micro-expressions.Dumbledore is grim, Filch is mournful, and Lockhart is elated.All three of Harry were restless and apprehensive.This is something that the person front and center of the camera has to express.

The McGonagall and Snape were too far apart, it was purely a background board, it stands to reason that as long as there is no expression, it will be fine.

But Maggie is an old drama player, and she walked far behind with a face full of worry and contemplation.

John wasn't even weaker behind—Snape's dark eyes were heavy, and he had been watching the little Harry walking ahead complicatedly.

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

And in this way, the whole shot is more vivid and plump, which is even better than what Chris originally envisioned.

He grinned and shouted, "Yes!"

Since it was just filmed, there was no rest, so I continued to the next one.

The scene where Snape aggressively confronts Harry in Lockhart's office.

"Allow me to say a few words, Headmaster," said Snape in a slightly contemptuous tone. "Why on earth were they in the upstairs corridor? Why not at the Halloween banquet?"

"There's hundreds of little watches out there, and they can tell you where we're—"

"But why didn't you join the party afterwards?" Snape ignored, his dark eyes gleaming in the candlelight. "Why the corridor?"

Both Ron and Hermione looked at Harry.

"Because—because—we're all tired and want to go to bed," Harry replied dryly.

"No dinner?" Snape raised his left eyebrow and asked slowly, "I don't think ghosts will provide food that suits people's appetite at the banquet."

"We're not hungry!" exclaimed Ron.But his voice was followed by a loud grunt from his stomach.

There was great malice in Snape's dark eyes.

He smiled. "Principal, I don't think Potter has fully confessed."

Chris realized that he really didn't understand Snape.

His malice and dislike for little Harry can be clearly felt by anyone, and he seems to be forever committed to catching little Harry and letting him go home.

But it was this man again, always protecting Harry.In the first movie, too, the way he looks at Harry in a shot where nobody notices becomes meaningful.Or empty or complex, unpredictable.

But since John played Snape in this way, this role is definitely not so thin, nor is it blindly bad, and there will definitely be many scenes in the future.

Although as a director, Chris is also a fan of Harry Potter.He also has great curiosity to know why this is so.

But everything can only be revealed by John himself later.

I really can't figure out this kid!

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

—Because tonight is Halloween.
