Quotes from Rupert Grint

I was always a big fan of the books and over the years I've become quite attached to Ron and we've meshed into the same person, really.

I've never fancied that footballer lifestyle. I suppose I could live that kind of flash life. People stereotype child actors and kind of expect you to go off the rails a bit, be a bit crazy, but that's not really happened yet. I've got a big family so that helps, and they live really close to the studios so it's just so much easier.

Yeah, my parents help me keep my feet on the ground.

Things at home didn't change much. I still have to clean my own room!

Leave home? It's quite a scary thought. I'm not the most independent person and that's the result. When you're always surrounded by people it becomes quite normal.

Ron was always my favorite character, because I feel like I relate to him, like we've both got red hair, we both like sweets, we've both got lots of brothers and sisters.

It's always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don't know if I'm good enough to have a long career. I've got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.

Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.

After being in Harry Potter, I believe a bit more in magic than I did before.

I'm shorter, I don't have as many freckles as Ron, and I can't do magic.

I think coughing up slugs was quite hard. Ron has a scene where he has to cough up these giant slugs.

One in the third film, I'm looking forward to meeting one of the Dementors.

I'd like to have the flying car, I think that'd be really cool.

I like all Jim Carrey films. They're really funny.

For me the stunts are so cool, they're one of my favourite things when we're doing the film.

People recognize me, call me Ron, and ask me questions. It's really cool and weird as well.

Being famous is wicked. But it's better to be normal.

I get recognised sometimes, and that's really cool. I've tried certain disguises, but that doesn't work.

In terms of filming, yes, it really does feel over now. There's a real sense of freedom now. It's a good time to finish, I think. As much as I'm going to miss it I'm ready to move on and do different things.

It's not that I find it hard to meet girls - they do come up and chat me up from time to time. Sometimes I'm interested, I tend not to go for the prettier ones. I prefer the quirkier types.

Every time I come off-set, I am just like a normal kid again.

The most challenging scene for me was the spider scene, because I don't like spiders in real life. Even rubber ones I get really scared of.

I've tried to have a really normal life, and I have because my family treats me normal, and my friends treat me just the same.

The characters in the book grow up with us. My voice has broken as well.
