If I had to guess the hardest scenes for Gary Oldman to shoot in the Harry Potter movies as Sirus Black, I would have said his death or the showdown in the Shrieking Shack, not necessarily the scene where Harry Potter casts his patronus at the frozen lake to save the Prisoner of Azkaban. However, despite not having to do much in the scene, that one was the hardest for the Oscar winner to shoot, and his explanation as to why is both hilarious and understandable. Gary Oldman joined the Harry Potter cast during Prisoner of…
