Rupert Grint's broom woe

Rupert Grint's broom woe

Friday, 3 July 2009

Rupert Grint found filming Quidditch scenes for 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' an "anti-climax".

The actor - who plays Ron Weasley in the wizarding franchise - says he had waited a long time for his character to get involved in the broomstick-based ball game but was left disappointed when he realised how difficult and uncomfortable it was.

He explained: "I was really looking forward to doing it this time, but it's actually sort of an anti-climax because it's really hard work.

"You're on a broom for a long time, like a few hours at a go. You're literally sitting on a broom and it gets a little bit sore down under a bit. It's been fun, but it's quite hard work."

Despite his discomfort, Rupert was happy to be involved in the scenes as he had expected to try the sport in previous movie 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'.

He added to MTV News: "I was actually really gutted last year because that is sort of Ron's big Quidditch moment and I was really upset they didn't have that in 'Order of the Phoenix'."
