'It's Quite Boring': Jason Isaacs Shared Why the Harry Potter Films 'Weren't Much Fun' to Film

The original Harry Potter film series was as magical as it gets, and part of the franchise's appeal rests on the chemistry of the actors. However, although the result was magical, filming it wasn't, per one franchise star.
Jason Isaacs, who played the villain Lucius Malfoy in the series starting with 2002's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets until the final entry, 2011's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2, has a different recollection. Although the actor has embraced the franchise's fans and always understands the level of fame the role got him, during an interview with BBC's The One Show, the actor looked back at filming the movies. He also revealed they weren't very "fun" to make, via Variety.
