Harry Potter: 9 Obscure Movie Secrets That Took Years To Discover

9. Rupert Wasn't Acting During The Aragog Scene

It turns out wizards aren't the only ones who are scared of spiders. In an interview that took place after the release of the film The Chamber of Secrets, Rubert Grint had a secret of his own that he revealed to the world.

What you may have thought was excellent acting in the Aragog was actually a genuine phobia that the actor was attempting to harness. His fear goes as far as making him check his shoes every morning to make sure there are no spiders. Maybe he checks his coffee for slugs too.

Which is worse, filming a scene with a bunch of spiders or having to throw up a whole load of slugs? Poor Rupert did not have it easy on the set of Harry Potter and has probably come away with a few new fears on top of the already existing ones. As it turns out, Weasley's fear of spiders stems from Rowling's fear of spiders in real life.

Could there be a spell for curing arachnophobia?
