Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe took an intensive six-month scuba diving
course while preparing for new movie Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire, so
he could hold his breath during an underwater scene.
Boy wizard Potter becomes a fish in the new film and Radcliffe spent weeks
perfecting the scene.
He says: "I had the most amazing stunt team who I trained with for six
months and who were down there in the tank with me.
"I was sharing somebody else's air from their scuba diving tank and we both
had regulators. They'd say 'Three, two, one,' and on the 'three' I'd blow
all the air out of my lungs and on the 'one' I'd take in a very big gulp of
air and then it's all about how much action you can do with that amount of
breath in your body.
"The hard thing was not just holding my breath, but I wasn't actually
allowed to let any of the air out because Harry is supposed to become a fish
with gills; there's not supposed to be bubbles going around. So if I look at
all pained, you know why."

years.

Not bad, just lots of changes have been going on the last few months. I
need to get my takes VIP'd and get out to Lake Travis to have some fun.

Six months? You can do a OW to DM in less than that with a little
work.

"Harry Potter dies of embolism". That would make the front page of
Variety!

"Harry Potter has gas problems". That would make the Undersea
Journal.
