The thing is that I've seen what people look like wearing stuff that's
gonna be bluescreened out, thanks to a behind-the-scenes clip from a TV
show I used to watch (hey, to all those American parents - do your kids
watch Wishbone? It's a PBS show about a cute little Jack Russell who
fantasizes about being the hero of various classic novels like Tom Sawyer
or The Phantom of the Opera and other books like that...used to love it
when I was about 10). And the clothing is blue - really, really intense
blue, probably made out of some sort of nylon or something where you can't
see the weave. Whereas this glove is both a) not blue enough, more
blue-gray and b) has a clearly visible weave, and that added to the scarf
Daniel Radcliffe's wearing makes me think that it's just supposed to be
winter gear.

But yeah, there's no way he's not wearing protection under that robe.
