If you’ve ever rewatched the ending of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and thought, “Wait, did Lucius Malfoy almost Avada Kedavra a 12-year-old?” — you’re not alone.

Speaking at FanExpo Denver during a panel moderated by Collider’s Maggie Lovitt, Isaacs opened up about that not-so-subtle wand flick at Harry Potter outside Dumbledore’s office — the one where he utters “Avada…” before getting Dobby’d straight to the ground. According to Isaacs, the moment wasn’t scripted that way at all.
