Rupert Grint made sure he didn't steal any souvenirs from the Harry Potter set when filming wrapped for the final time - because the last time he took a prop home he was caught red-handed.
Shooting on the final instalment in the wizard franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, was completed in London over the weekend (12Jun10), bringing the movies to an end after more than a decade.
Grint admits he wanted to swipe a keepsake, but feared movie bosses would find out after he was previously caught lifting a fake dragon's egg.
He says, "I took the golden egg that was in the fourth film - a dragon egg. Apparently it was worth a few thousand dollars. I put it in a pillowcase, it was with (onscreen brother) James Oliver, it was a joint effort. But they tracked it down and got it off us.
"A wand I think would be nice to keep. They don't really like things going away from the set."
The final Harry Potter story, the Deathly hallows, has been split into two movies, the first coming in November and the second in summer 2011.
But Grint is back on the big screen this week as he teams up with Emily Blunt and Bill Nighy in Jonathan Lynn's comedy Wild Target.
He is also set to star as Eddie The Eagle in a movie about the Olympic ski jumper.
