Georgina Sherrington and Jessica Fox, who played Mildred Hubble and Enid Nightshade respectively, whilst filming the scene when they are flying on a broomstick in the Great Hall both fell off the broom. But luckily, there were soft mattresses on the ground that they landed on. Georgina mentioned this in an interview on CITV in 2001.
