Moviefone: 5 Fun Facts From Potter Half-Blood Prince Set

Moviefone have posted up an article titled 5 Fun Facts From the Set of 'Harry Potter'. In it, we get quite a funny insight into the daily lives of our favorite Potter actors while they were on the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince set. Read more to get the facts.

1. Daniel Radcliffe got a kick out of Dumbledore's "outing."
"I thought it was hilarious," he said.

2. It takes "about 10 takes" for the perfect kiss.
"Quite embarrassing" is how the reserved Grint describes the scene's filming. "We were both quite nervous and [director David Yates] was really good and only let it go on for about 10 takes." Only? To make matters worse, Grint and Lavender were performing for a live audience. "I had a room full of people cheering," Grint says.

3. A "Bizarro World" exists on the set of 'Potter.'
There are twice the number of main characters. Each lead has a stand-in, and they look so strikingly similar (and are also sporting identical costumes), it's easy to confuse them at any distance. "It's weird," Grint admits. "And they all sit together at lunchtime!" Emma Watson even admits she wishes she could send her body double to education classes in her place. The only problem? "She's like 24, something like that," Watson says.

4. Radcliffe isn't exactly Homer Simpson when it comes to bacon.
During the scene we watched filmed, Harry and Ron discuss a forthcoming Quidditch match over breakfast in the Hogwarts dining hall; and take after take we watch them nibble on seemingly fresh plates of bacon and eggs...Radcliffe was so sick and tired of bacon, he took to feeding a 10-year-old extra who couldn't get enough of it. "I've been turning around and shoving all my bacon onto his plate just to amuse myself," Radcliffe laughs. "He seems to be having a good time."

5. Rupert Grint won't be selling be ice cream any time soon.
Grint, at the time of our visit, hadn't yet brought his parlor-on-wheels to set (the 1970s-built truck was having engine trouble at the time), and doesn't plan on getting it licensed to you know, actually sell ice cream. "That's quite complicated," he says. "You have to go through all sorts of different health checks."
