Jason Isaacs was a menacing presence as villain Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series, and now the star has admitted what he thought about the actual act of making the projects.
The Potter movies, which were released from 2001 to 2011, saw Isaacs portray Draco Malfoy’s (Tom Felton) father, Lucius, from the 2002 entry Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets to the final Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (he does not appear in Prisoner of Azkaban).
Isaacs looked back on creating the films during an appearance on BBC’s The One Show, explaining how making large-budget productions with lots of special effects can in fact be “boring” but that the stories they were documenting were “magical.”
“It’s a terrible confession to make, they weren’t that much fun to make. It’s quite boring, making big special effects films,” he told the program.

While Isaacs may have given the filming portion a big yawn, he said everything was worth it to see the finished products.
“However the pleasures all come afterwards. I see and meet people for whom their lives were changed by it, and still people reading it and sharing with their children. Some people say their lives were saved by it and I believe it,” he said.
Isaacs is currently starring in the third season of the hit HBO drama The White Lotus.
Harry Potter will be returning to screens, the small kind this time around, with a new HBO series expected in 2026.
All eight Harry Potter movies are available to stream via Peacock.
