Actor Tom Felton who portrays Draco Malfoy in the movie - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is known for forgetting his lines. It was one of these mistakes that succeeded in giving the movie an iconic line.

Draco sees his friend - Goyle, wearing glasses and enquires him why he is wearing glasses. To this, Goyle replies - They are reading glasses. Actor, Tom Felton forgot his lines after this and in a humorous manner added “I didn’t know you could read.” This unscripted line for sure was better than any other response the script could have had. So much so, that the director loved it too and added this instead of the original intended response.
