10 Movie Scenes You Didn’t Realise Actors HATED Shooting

Though his on-screen exploits inspired many a Potter-mad youngster to routinely check their own letterboxes to see if that sacred Hogwarts acceptance letter had made its way to their home, it may come as a shock to hear that not every aspect of wizarding life was as enjoyable as eating chocolate frogs and making feathers fly for Daniel Radcliffe.

In fact, according to the Harry Potter star himself, the act of hopping aboard a Nimbus 2000 and soaring into competitive Quidditch "was right up there with the least fun things I've done on 'Harry Potter,' certainly."

Going further when talking to Digital Spy about his hatred towards all things broom battling, the leading man of the Wizarding World would also note:

"It is not a pleasant experience, it does hurt quite a lot and it is not something I would be rushing back to do!"

Far from being the sort of exhilarating experience those watching the high flying sport would've dreamed it to be then, it seems as though the likes of Radcliffe and many other cast-members were more than happy to sit out this particular Potter-verse practise.
