For many of us, Harry Potter (be it the books or the movie franchise) is something that we have grown up with. We watched a young, timid Daniel Radcliffe go from being the unaware wizard he was at the beginning of the books to the master of magic he grew to become by the end.

However, one thing that we have not gotten to see a whole lot of is the behind the scenes' movie magic that helped all of this wonder come to life. The little moments off set, the wires and green screens meticulously placed to create the impression of a magical world. And today we are proud to present you with this list of wholesome Harry Potter pics from the behind the scenes of the movie franchise. So put down your work for a moment or two and come hangout with Hagrid and the whole Harry Potter crew.

Now this could be a cover photo for an album of Harry Potter themed biker music. Obviously Hagrid would be the lead singer and it would be an insane album that would stay in the top 10 for weeks on end.

Sure, we have seen more than one photo of the dark lord himself, not in complete character. But it never fails to jar and perplex, seeing this all powerful, absolutely terrifying figure in such normal and tame moments. Kind of like seeing an alligator care for its young.
