Sure, we’re not going to see them casting any spells any time soon, but both Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have recently spoken out about how playing their HARRY POTTER characters have strongly impacted their personalities.
“After 10 years playing the same guy I think you morph into him. We have become this Ron-pert kind of thing. It’ll stay with me for awhile. There will always be a bit of Ron in me for the rest of my life.” Grint told the Toronto Sun while in New York. He also mentioned how he got choked up after watching DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2 at the London premier, “There’s one scene where it’s the three of us… There was almost this parallel with our lives. It’s quite sad. I’m going to really miss it.”
The same character-actor formation goes for Emma Watson, who’s portrayed Hermoine for the same eight films that Rupert’s played Ron. “I was thinking about that the other day, trying to figure out how much of me went into her or her went into me and the lines really blur,” Watson told the Showbiz 411 in an interview, “She’s so incredible, she’s such an incredible person … I’m positive that it pushed me to stretch myself and push myself more and make myself a better person.”
It will be exciting to see their new roles in a post-Harry Potter world! For more news, info, and all things HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2, check here.
