Says Tim Webber, 'We shot what we could in the way of underwater blue screen material of the actors performing in a tank, but there were all sorts of limitations placed on them by the demands of the script and the environment. The Underwater shoot for the sequence took place over several weeks, largely at Leavesden Studios. It is up to Harry to use all his wits (and a handy spell or two) to save the final victim and escape the vicious Grindylows. However, Fleur has been attacked by highly dangerous creatures called Grindylows (think squid-meets-piranha) and is unable to carry out her rescue.
Harry rescues Ron, and attempts a further rescue, but is warned off by the mer-people – who indicate that the others are to be rescued by his fellow contestants. Four children have been magically bound, and float, suspended and unconscious before him. She leads him to some underwater ruins in which Harry discovers what the purpose of the task is. A mermaid - not the siren-like beauty of popular myth, but a fishier, far less seductive figure, greets him with a song. As he travels deeper down through the lake, Harry enters 'forests' of undulating kelp. Fleur and Cedric adapt to life underwater by having a magical air bubble around their mouths, while Viktor becomes half shark.
Once under the surface, Harry temporarily mutates growing gills, webbed fingers and flippery feet to cope with life under water.
