Owls burn for Harry Potter

[Gef]

The new Harry Potter film contains a scene where Harry's owl has to fly around the interior of Hogwarts.

Unfortunately, the candle-lit castle was not the easiest place for owl to navigate. Two owls flew into the candles and burned to death.

Each time this happened, the children were ushered out of the room while a replacement was found. Then they were brought back in, shown the owl and told "look, he's fine!"

Sounds pretty unlikely to me.
The kids are teenagers by now, the chances of them falling for that are very slim.

And the owls flying around look computer generated or like puppets. Only the ones sitting in their cages look real.
