Rupert Grint was
interviewed recently by the LA Times' Hero Complex section, during which he discussed how he will come to terms with the end of the
Harry Potter series, how driven his co-star Dan Radcliffe is professionally, his pains from playing Quidditch in
Half-Blood Prince, and his pleasure at Harry, Ron and Hermione surviving beyondthe end of the
Harry Potter series.
On the end of the
Harry Potter film series, Rupert had this to say:
Quote:
“I was thinking about what it’s going to be like when we’re done, after the last movie,” Grint said. “It is going to be really weird, actually. At the moment it seems quite far away. I don’t know what I’m going to do, really. I’m going to miss it, I think, because it’s been my whole life for a long time. I really enjoy it as well, every year we’ve come back and done it. All of this, this is what I know..."
Rupert grimaces at the discomfort Quidditch provided:
Quote:
On command, Grint stared into a wind machine, pumped his fist and bellowed in triumph. But between takes he looked pained.
“It leaves you sore in the, uh, bicycle-seat area,” he said after climbing down. “It’s not as fun as I thought it would be.”
He praises Dan Radcliffe's ambition in acting, as well as Emma Watson:
Quote:
“Dan is the one who is very driven; he’s ambitious and he’s knows there’s quite a few things down the road. I am a little bit more laid back. And Emma, I mean, she’s really cool. We all get on really well; she’s just a really good mate. A great person.”
On his thoughts of what became of the trio at the end of the series, Rupert stated:
Quote:
“I think it’s going to be sad when this, all of it, when it’s all over. Reading the last book, there was so much talk about who was going to die. So I was half-expecting, I mean, me, Dan and Emma to not survive. Or our characters, I mean. I was pleasantly surprised, though. I’m glad that it ended the way it did. We all make it."
