What'S The True Story?


Recommended Posts

So I was watching CoS, I saw the cast Emma is wearing during the Polyjuice scene and I tried to look up what happened, one site said she tripped over something and broke her wrist, another says Daniel accidently knocked her down the set stairs, and another says nothing happened at all. So I'm just wondering, do any of you know what happened?

I haven't a clue as to what may have happened.

If Emma had tripped over something and broken her wrist, it had to have been a fast fall. You have to have some built up inertia (or whatever they call it) to break your wrist like that.

About a year and a half ago, I was taking a shortcut from my dorm to the libary on campus at (when I was at university). I had a heavy bag on my back that had my laptop in it. Tripped up some unevenly designed steps in the Greek Ampitheatre and braced myself with my hand.

Then, I did ten miles of cycling that weekend and ignored the pain...which got worse. Found out at the doctor's and emergency room that I broke/tore the scaphoid in my right wrist (small carpal bone by the thumb and forefinger).

And, despite all the admonishions from the doctors, I lasted four days with a cast and then ripped it off. :lol:

So, if I were to speculate...I would think she would have had to fallen down pretty hard to break her wrist. Or, fell down the stairs.

Good question. lol. :huh:

The true story is this is a rumor that was copied and pasted on so many sites that people think it must be true. Here are caps from the polyjuice scene. You can see it's just a white sleeve, and not a cast, that's come out from under her robes. Also notice how much her wrist is bent in the second photo.

It's definitely the sleeve of a shirt which is probably a bit too long for her, which is why it's going over her hand.

 

I have had numerous plaster casts on in the past due to broken wrists and that looks nothing one, it's way too thin to be a cast, a plaster cast would also be tighter around her hand and would appear more solid, whereas that looks soft with creases and appears to move slighty with her hand.

 

It's pretty clear to me from the two pictures dook posted above as well as watching the scene again that it's a sleeve.

Since we didn't have as much information about Emma back then and she didn't have as much communication with fans that she does now, a lot of rumors popped up during that time. Some others include her supposedly appearing on "Kids Say The Darndest Things" sometime before she was cast as Hermione and her having a cousin who died of cancer at a young age.

Looks like a cast everytime I watch the movie.

 

I have watched "Chamber of Secrets" so many times. I've been guilty of restarting the whole movie when it ends. Every time I watch the Polyjuice scene, I ALWAYS think Emma is wearing a cast. So, I can see where you're coming from.

Those pictures do set it straight, though, but at a glance the sleeve does look like a cast.
