Fans of the Harry Potter franchise are being reminded of a rather raunchy moment in the third film, The Prisoner of Azkaban, which first hit cinemas 16 years ago.
The x-rated moment is hidden in the credits, via the Marauder's Map, which shows the location of everyone in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as their little footsteps can be seen moving around or loitering. It didn't take long for eagle-eyed viewers to spot the risqué moment, where two pairs of feet can be seen in a rather suspicious positon.
"Day ??? of the lockdown. I found the secret sex scene in Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban [sic]," one Twitter user wrote, sharing a clip of the moment.
Watch the moment below:"In the bottom left hand corner of the Marauder's Map at 2hr and 20 min mark there are 2 sets of footprints who seem to be making out or possibly having sex," the Twitter user proceeded to explain.
Fans were certainly surprised by the moment. "Thanks, that’s my childhood ruined. I was 35 at the time but that’s beside the point," commented one social media user, while others appeared to already be aware of the moment, writing "Harry Potter fans have been aware of this since the movie come out 16 years ago, lads."
Rus Wetherall, the man who is responsible for the sequence, previously spoke about the scene to the Huffington Post, per The Metro. Revealing that he worked for over 20 days to complete the credits, he decided to put in the raunchy scene after staying up until 4 am working.
"There was an alcove in the artwork, it was kind of like an opportunity to have a couple of students hiding in there," he told the publication back in 2015. "So I just threw a couple of feet down. It was just something there that was amusing for the adults in the audience and kids wouldn’t really understand."
