As the Harry Potter movies progressed, things got quite a little dark and less family-friendly given all the brutality, especially with that one scene where Emma Watson’s character, Hermione Granger, gets brutally tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange. While the rest of the crew was terrified when the scene was filmed, it was quite entertaining for Watson.

The aforementioned scene is the one where Lestrange carves “mudblood” on Granger’s arm, which wasn’t in the script but Helena Bonham Carter and Watson came up with that idea to bring more terrifying elements to the scene.

In 2019, Warner Bros released some interview clips in which actress Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, talked about the scene where her character gets tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange. The actress recalled that it wasn’t a fun day, especially for the crew (via LiveAbout)
“I think it was quite disturbing for the crew, which I was pleased about obviously because it showed I was doing a good job.”
There is a scene in 2010’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, where Emma Watson’s character gets tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange, played by Helena Bonham Carter, who wants her to tell her what they stole from her locker in Gringotts. In the scene, Lestrange carves the word “mudblood” on Granger’s arm and she screams and cries in pain.

The scene was supposed to be longer
The carving on Emma Watson’s arm was not in the script
In the interview, Emma Watson also revealed that the scene was supposed to be longer and way more terrifying,
“I did one take and David [Yates] let the camera roll for like two minutes and just left me there screaming. When I looked at the edit, I was like ‘Wow.’ I mean, fair enough, you can’t have two minutes of me screaming. But I was like: ‘I did that a lot longer than was actually shown.’”
The part where Lestrange carved the word into Granger’s arm wasn’t in the script. Carter and Watson came up with the idea on the spot to make things far more gruesome. The scene, as it was, gave fans chills down their spines, but it was necessary to make it look authentic.
