Harry Potter Series Faces Brutal Shooting Schedules
The new Harry Potter series on HBO is having a tough time with its shooting schedule.
The young actors can only be on set for a short time each day because of UK laws that say they must go to school.
This makes filming harder for the crew.
The series follows the adventures of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The cinematographer, Adriano Goldman, has shared that these conditions are quite difficult.
The Harry Potter series on HBO faces challenges due to strict UK laws limiting child actors' working hours.
Child actors are only available for 1.5 hours per day because they must attend school.
Cinematographer Adriano Goldman describes the conditions as 'brutal' for the production team.
The series follows the adventures of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger at Hogwarts.
