In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Ron's vomit slugs were in fact, puppets. Rupert Grint chose orange-flavored slime to make the experience more palatable.
250 body casts have been made of actors for deaths, petrifications and stunning spells.
Aragog the acromantula (giant spider) had an 18 ft. leg span
Over 200 creatures have been created for the Harry Potter film series.
Death Eater Masks:
The Death Eater masks were created in conjunction with the art department and prop makers.
The creature effects department sculpted all the masks in a week and the prop team finished the masks, with each featuring an ornate individual pewter design.
All of the actors that wore them had to have a life cast in cold alginate, which took 2.5 minutes to set.
The hog's head at the Hog's Head Tavern:
Initially, director David Yates wanted three computer-generated wolf heads in the tavern but quickly realized it would be more cost effective to sculpt a full-size animatronic hog's head.
The hog's head was a silicon-skinned animatronic model that was operated through the wall by technicians.
Each hair was individually punched in by hand and it took a month to complete.
