A technical detail intrigues some observers, as the British newspaper points out: despite its 1.70 height, Nick Frost largely dominates his young partner. In some scenes, the actor wears a two -dotted mask above his mouth. This technique aims to recreate Hagrid’s imposing stature, which should be over 3.50 meters high in JK Rowling’s universe, using doubles and visual effects. A method already used with Robbie Coltrane in original films.
The filming, which also took place near a pub and the London subway at the embankment, caused blockages in the traffic in the British capital. The passers-by has widely documented the scenes on Tiktok, some shooting on Nick Frost’s double by repeating in front of a Sainsbury’s Local.
