There's OG Footage Of A Bunch Of Harry Potter Kids Being Told Not To Eat Sweets On Set, And I Can't Believe They Trusted A Bunch Of 11 Year-Olds

Some of the best scenes in the entire Harry Potter movie franchise involve the Great Hall and all manner of celebrations during the Halloween and Christmas seasons. In the past, we’ve heard about how the Great Hall scenes brought a sense of wonder to James and Oliver Phelps, and other Potter cast members when they first entered the sets set up for feasts and more. Given how realistic and magical everything looked, I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise the kids had trouble differentiating between what was real and fake in the scenes, and that trickled down to the food.

In fact, a resurfaced video from the filming of Harry Potter sees the cast and extras being warned about the food in front of them. In particular, the sweets apparently looked palatable, but were, in fact, too good to eat.
