I've always said that he seemed drunk during this scene. I really hope he was...

[–]beccaonice 143 points144 points ago

Well he was supposed to seem at least a little that way, because of the felix felicis

[–]felixfelicisjunkie 95 points96 points ago

That shit will fuck you up yo.

[–]Senor_Wilson 516 points517 points ago

LOL. This scene was great because of this. If he was drunk during this, he needs to be drunk more.

[–]AustinCorgiBart 218 points219 points ago

I would watch a version of Harry Potter played by a drunk cast.

[–]angreesloth 89 points90 points ago

i would pay a decent amount of cash to see that insanity.

[–]jimjimgreen 71 points72 points ago

Expecto .... patronuuuuuuummmmmm

[–]hero2bash 61 points62 points ago

Avodka... kadavra!

[–]SteveTheMiner 394 points395 points ago

Yeah, something tells me that wasn't in the script.

[–]pafatar 263 points264 points ago

Guessing by Hagrid's awkward response, he was probably pretty pissed.

[–]ddfitz 138 points139 points ago

Pissed as in angry or pissed as in drunk?

[–]Cptn_Janeway 448 points449 points ago

Yes

[–]callmegoat 57 points58 points ago

Everyone was drunk.

[–]idefix24 50 points51 points ago

Because Scotland

[–]barium111 11 points12 points ago

Pissed as in urinated on. Golden shower style.

[–]ok_you_win 72 points73 points ago

I havent read that far in the books yet. Is the scene somewhat in the story?

[–]cheestaysfly 179 points180 points ago

Yes. Although not nearly as funny.

[–]ok_you_win 43 points44 points ago

Thanks. That clip was indeed funny. Very different in style from the other humour in the movies.

[–]Wavedasher 59 points60 points ago

no. a definite no. well, the whole Hagrid's-spider-friend-is-dead thing thing is. the pincer part? nope.

[–]ok_you_win 26 points27 points ago

Thanks, I meant the scene itself. I didnt expect the pincer comment to be in it.

[–]heavensclowd 236 points237 points ago

It kind of is. During this scene harry is under the effect of a "liquid luck" potion he won in potions class. In the book he does act a bit goofy. For example, he takes the potion because he needs a bit of luck to persuade a professor of something, but the moment he takes it says something like "well, I'm going to hagrids." Ron and hermione are like "wtf mate, ur supposed to go persuade professor slughorn" and he's like "nah, I've got a good feeling about hagrid bro."

So ya, moral of a the story is yes, he is supposed to be acting a bit goofy at this time.

[–]ok_you_win 21 points22 points ago

Thanks. I cant wait to get to that book.

[–]laddergoat89 74 points75 points ago

You have a fucking treat in store with book 7, the films left out a lot.

[–]Lokgar 66 points67 points ago

No man, the hug voldemort gave to draco made up for all the missing parts.

[–]FinalAppealToReason 6 points7 points ago

So awkward, yet so beautiful.

[–]Kn0w1edge 60 points61 points ago

especially with the whole battle at the school. i feel like they could have done so much more in the movie

[–]DrDWayneLove 66 points67 points ago

The worst was that they skipped out Dumbledore's whole origin story, which was by far the best bit of the book.

[–]DildoChrist 21 points22 points ago

Yeah, they kind of fucked up the whole Hogwarts battle and the way it starts and such. I don't really know what was wrong with the way it was in the books, but oh well.

[–]laddergoat89 27 points28 points ago

And the actual Deathly Hallows/Dumbledore sidestory. Practically ignored in the films.

[–]1000hipsterpoints 5 points6 points ago

Alternate moral: drinking a shitload of alcohol makes you lucky

[–]lord_geek 39 points40 points ago

Thing is, this scene was edited together. The camera cuts to Hagrid straight afterwards.

It's not like he said that and the director went "... oh, well, I guess that's stuck in the movie. Fuck."

[–]bigtreeworld 72 points73 points ago

Or maybe they were like "Oh that was gold LOL, let's keep it in!"

[–]Jigsus 91 points92 points ago

Wasn't he supposed to be drunk from that juice thing he drank earlier in the story?

[–]virtyy 51 points52 points ago

Yeah I thought he acted like that cus of the luck potion

[–]mrmunch 109 points110 points ago

I'm sure Radcliffe had a stash of "luck potion" in his trailer.

[–]ddfitz 21 points22 points ago

Hey, actors gotta use props sometime! He was just getting in character!

[–]kiltsaresexy 14 points15 points ago

True method acting, right there. Now excuse me while I go "get into character".

[–]Sw1tch0 46 points47 points ago

If one qualifies, this is definitely it.

No, no, I can understand the views. It's curious people wondering WTF is going on.

It's the 190 thousand LIKES that has me stumped.

[–]alrightwtf 8 points9 points ago

I didn't have the guts to click. You made me. YOU MADE ME!

[–]floppy_camel_anus 16 points17 points ago

Yes, definitely this scene. It fun to know background info to movies

[–]achillies47 9 points10 points ago

he needs to be drunk more often on set then because that was funny.

[–]bananas_are_cool 289 points290 points ago

The scene where Hermione tries to explain to him the significance of the sword of Gryffindor being goblin made.

Also the entire eighth movie.

[–]jackyface 320 points321 points ago

Especially the scene where he and Voldemort jump off the Astronomy Tower and start making out.

[–]Nabonidus3 26 points27 points ago

Yeah I thought there was something odd about that. Voldemort seemed to be holding two wands in that scene and I couldn't figure out why.

[–]acrossx92 5 points6 points ago

;D

[–]_Meece_ 73 points74 points ago

I think he'd given up the drink by the 7/8th movie.

[–]thornbrambles 61 points62 points ago

Surprised he didn't die of alcohol poisoning by the 7/8th movie

[–]jerrycasto 28 points29 points ago

He's British dude.

[–]life-is-good 19 points20 points ago

This is funny because I'm hammered right now. My britishness is implied.

[–]MelisSassenach 198 points199 points ago

Definitely that dance scene with Hermione. Only drunk people dance like that.

[–]laddergoat89 150 points151 points ago

In the final cut of the film they actually ended up using the outtakes from that shoot, of them messing around and laughing. It looked more natural.

[–]mrfujisawa 13 points14 points ago

source? Wasn't mentioned in the extras on the blu-ray :(

[–]30percentAlpaca 14 points15 points ago

I remember watching a 50 greatest moments in Harry Potter thing that someone posted here recently. David Yates (I think it was) said that the two of them dance quite well, but he instructed them to be awkward, as Harry and Hermione wouldn't know how to dance.

[–]IncandescentLOL 669 points670 points ago

The one after he took the luck potion. He was actually funny.

[–]knowledgeoverswag 488 points489 points ago

"Harry!"

"SIR!"

[–]cancegraf 182 points183 points ago

Well then by all means come along sir.

[–]Fogle1992 99 points100 points ago*

Have you seen the spanish dub of this? "Harry!" "Señor!" Kind of made me want to watch the whole thing like it haha.

Edit: Link

[–]Ez90 18 points19 points ago

This was the scene that instantly came to mind for me. One of the funniest HP scenes in my opinion.

[–]mycatdrools 50 points51 points ago

I agree, I think that movie was the one he filmed the most drunk.

[–]hascow 78 points79 points ago

I feel like being drunk would be great method acting(I think I used that term correctly) for that, as the potion seemed to be a type of drunkenness, and actually being drunk would help him come across like that better.

[–]jesus_____christ 55 points56 points ago

As an actor, this would 100% be my method.

As an actor whose academic guilt made him edit: a more correct term would be substitution, as you are not actually drinking a luck potion.

[–]StarKilla 65 points66 points ago

As a drinker, this would be my method too.

[–]rory-the-roman 189 points190 points ago

"not to mention the pincers"

Came here for this, my girlfriend and I constantly quote this scene, it's phenomenal. "Then by all means sir, come along!"

[–]thesundeity 5 points6 points ago

he acts like matt smith in every episode of the doctor hahah.

[–]wpg_guy 263 points264 points ago

According to Brad neely, all of them (watch wizard people dear reader)

[–]RyFox 100 points101 points ago

Ronnie tells Harry that he is a pot of coffee by day, bottle of wine by night type of guy. Harry says, "Triple that and you've got me"

[–]emwo 122 points123 points ago

Harry, in a spiral of depression, turns to the escape of the world of miniature equine aficionada. He produces many a Wine-out-of-Nowhere Spell and is drunk every day before noon.

Oh, how the wine talks...

I would just like to say that I have never laughed so hard so consistently as I did when watching this with a solid group of friends. Almost constant tears.

[–]myfaceisaclock 4 points5 points ago

Ronnie the Bear? He could give a fuck.

[–]slaxrizzle 17 points18 points ago

This needs to be higher up.

[–]Guarstine 197 points198 points ago

I am going to cover all of the bases and say that he was drunk the entire time, first to last movie just one big decade long bender.

[–]dragn99 112 points113 points ago

I'm going to assume the drinking started in the third movie. He was famous and rich enough by then, and it's not like they can just fire him! He's mother fuckin' Harry Potter!

[–]kegamaru 83 points84 points ago

That's what they said about Charlie Sheen.

[–]h0m3r 171 points172 points ago

I don't think they said that Charlie Sheen was Harry Potter. Maybe Charlie said that himself.

[–]kaybeesee 105 points106 points ago

Yer a wizard, Charlie!

[–]adityaseth 77 points78 points ago

[–]Rambosherbet 864 points865 points ago

"Instead he contented himself with scrawling a note to Ron: 'Let's do it tonight.' Ron read the message, swallowed hard, and looked sideways at the empty seat usually filled by Hermione. The sight seemed to stiffen his resolve, and he nodded." -Chamber of Secrets

[–]kittenburrito 478 points479 points ago

That is a terrible, terrible quote when taken out of context.

That said, I started giggling like a loon when I read it.

Weird: 150 comments, essentially 3 responses: felix felicis, pincers, "yer a wizard".

[–]randomsnark 37 points38 points ago

Also, pincers is during the felix felicis segment anyway. So really more like 2. Although there are also a lot of "All of it lol", which you may count if you're feeling charitable.

[–]vellyboo 93 points94 points ago

Dammit! This has just given me a reason to watch every Harry Potter movie again and speculate on which scenes he was drunk in. Actually I think I'm going to drink while doing this. Thank you for mapping out my weekend. Cheers.

[–]lulu2788 44 points45 points ago

I feel like a drinking game could definitely be made out of this, take a shot or just a drink every time you speculate he's drunk, my Saturday is now planned out!

[–]vellyboo 17 points18 points ago

Oh my word! That sounds like so much more fun! Thank you for contributing to my weekend of Drunken Potter Nights. That's right, I already named it!

[–]ilikemuffinsalot 135 points136 points ago

The Harry-Cho Kiss. 'How was it?" "Wet."

[–]KingOfTheMonkeys 129 points130 points ago

That was actually in the book, though. Then again, that doesn't mean he wasn't drunk.

[–]wilu 73 points74 points ago

I heard they had to reshoot that scene about 16 times.

[–]Delta-9-THC 39 points40 points ago

I wonder if an actor with a super-hot co-star ever deliberately effed up a makeout scene just to do it again. Haha.

[–]jesus_____christ 72 points73 points ago

As an actor, yes. The trick is to do it elsewhere in the scene so it's less conspicuous. There's a goldilocks zone where you may be fucking up too far away from the kiss to re-do that part. You get a sense for it after a while.

[–]dlove67 101 points102 points ago

Every movie with Radcliffe should end with him saying "Fuck this!" and pulling out his wand during the climax.

If you're pulling your wand out during the climax it's already too late.

AMA request: Daniel Radcliffe?

Edit: Put Danielle instead of Daniel. I need sleep, okay?

[–]thebeefytaco 84 points85 points ago

Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that he was "dependent on alcohol" to make it through the final Harry Potter films.

That makes two of us.

[–]clever_twirl 17 points18 points ago

Here's an article for anyone else who was curious.

[–]JustHere4TheDownVote 25 points26 points ago

I can also be quite insecure, said Radcliffe.

Okay, guy who did plays (IIRC, Broadway) with your dick out.

[–]jesus_____christ 73 points74 points ago

There are other kinds of insecurity than physical, aren't there?

[–]vvhale 6 points7 points ago

Sure, but getting your dick out on the big screen would be up there for most men.

The pincers scene in number 6. I swear, that line was probably not in the script.

"grit those teeth! and pull a retarded face!.... yeah, something stupid like that"

[–]cellonerd 34 points35 points ago

The entire 6th Movie. I think he said something along the lines of "I needed alcohol to get through filming the 6th movie almost every day"

Would explain why it is the worst movie.

[–]blueearth77 45 points46 points ago

As a huge fan of the series as a whole, I think that the 6th had bigger problems than Daniel Radcliffe. Take ginny for example, Bonnie Wright had the shittiest lines possible and no amount of acting can fix the fact that the lines sound like a thirteen year-old boy made them up well trying to seem witty. To be honest I think the 6th book just really wasn't meant to work as a movie. due to the lack of action, the interconnecting plot threads that didn't really translate, and how the major plot twist of the movie is essentially shown for 5 minutes, then forgotten. It felt like watching a slideshow of Draco Malfoy crying about something that isn't even revealed until the last 10 minutes, mixed with drama about a romance that lasts about as long as my first time getting a bj.

[–]DukeBerith 21 points22 points ago

I never found the acting of Ginny convincing after she grew up. She just stared emotionless and recited lines like she was reading them off cards. Especially the scene where they supposedly hadn't seen each other for a long time and they were meant to have that "lover's stare", she didn't seem to have any expression and it just felt really poo poo when she ran to him and kissed.

[–]vvhale 6 points7 points ago

Same with the scene where they are holding hands with everything getting destroyed around them. She just stood around like yo, all my friends are being killed around me, but I'm just bored.

[–]himit 6 points7 points ago

Really, the 6th movie needed to be based more on the suspense. It should have been a quiet, slow build up with lots of 'noticing' going on until the final dramatic scenes.

I feel like trying to make the movie appeal more to dumber kids is what wrecked it. Can't have too much thinking in movies, you know.

[–]himit 5 points6 points ago

4th is by far the worst. 5th is a close contender. 6th was pretty bearable, I thought.

[–]LunaMcLovin 17 points18 points ago

The 6th one gets a lot of hate but I liked it because it was really funny. And yes the 4th one is by far the worst because the plot is completely butchered.

[–]juicebocks 16 points17 points ago

Marketing ploy to get me to go back and watch all of the Harry Potter movies over again?? Cuz, actually, I wouldn't mind.

[–]doodermuffin 14 points15 points ago

God, this will get buried, but I have just spent the last fifteen minutes trying to find it online - that scene when Harry smiles at Cho in the Goblet of Fire and he manages to spit all of his pumpkin juice into his lap.

Also, related, when Harry and Ron are watching "Moody" drink from his flask and Harry exclaims, to the question of what it contains, "I don't know, but I don't think it's pumpkin juice" in the most hilariously deadpan manner possible.

[–]fnordcorps 17 points18 points ago

You would be surprised by how many actors turn up to a set absolutely hammered. In my experience the bigger the name, the more likely. I have waited on a set for hours whilst a poor AD has had to literally drag a semi conscious actor from their hotel bed/trailer and attempt to deliver the performance of a lifetime.

Hilarity ensues

[–]macboogiewoogie 21 points22 points ago

The entire first movie.

[–]robotusson 16 points17 points ago

The scene he spilled "pumpkin juice" in the fourth film.

That was gin and pumpkin juice.
