Adriano Goldman, the cinematographer for HBO’s “Harry Potter” series, said in a recent interview with Andre Pilli that the filming conditions for the show have been “brutal” because the camera team must work around the young cast’s strict shooting schedules.

“You have to shoot really fast, and the faster you go, the more you compromise quality,” Goldman said. “There’s no way around it, right? Obviously, we have a lot of resources, but it’s brutal. The kids’ screen time is really brutal. So the methodology is very specific. You practically have to pre-shoot all the scenes while they’re in class.”
