Broadbent: 'Potter' experience extraordinary
Jim Broadbent has described his experience filming Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince as "extraordinary".

The actor, who plays Professor Slughorn in the sixth instalment of the wizarding franchise, told The Guardian that his first day on the set had been "daunting".

"The main sets feel so permanent, having been there since the start, which means it's very easy to get drawn into the world of Hogwarts," he explained.

"It was rather daunting turning up on set with all these young actors, it could so easily have been a nightmare, given that the five films have had such huge success.

"But the kids turned out to be terrific. There was no brattish behaviour or starry, Fame Academy behaviour, they just get on with it."

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince is released next month.
