• Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, was filmed separately in Toronto, Canada – the actor was unable to arrive for filming in London.
• J.K. Rowling, the author of the books without which there would be no “Potterverse” and, consequently, this film, appears on screen very little. She is shown in archival footage (less than 30 seconds), and her name was also mentioned in interviews by some actors, while the film's promotional materials and trailers say nothing about her. Some claimed this was the result of her views on transgender people, which caused the “Potterverse” actors to criticize her repeatedly. However, according to Entertainment Weekly, she was invited to the film but declined, stating that archival footage was enough. At the same time, sources denied any connection between her decision not to film and the scandals caused by the writer's remarks about transgender people.
• In the first version of the film, Emma Roberts was mistakenly shown as young Emma Watson, and Oliver and James Phelps were mixed up. These errors were corrected in a new version by January 3rd.
• A significant portion of the film was shot on the sets of the Harry Potter films, which are now part of the Harry Potter Studio Tour theme park in Leavesden, UK, which opened in 2012.
