"Rupert Grint Chamber of Secrets: Full Interview," CBBC Newsround
Q: What was your favourite scene?
A: Slug scene, definitely. That was so fun because they had all these different flavours of slug slime. There was chocolate, there was lemon, there was orange, there was peppermint. All these different flavours – they made them taste really nice.
Q: You’re scared of spiders – what was it like doing scenes with them?
A: I hate them – even rubber ones I get scared of. Luckily some of them were CGI [computer graphics]. But that big car-sized one, that was actually there unfortunately. So that wasn’t my favourite scene to film.
