Rupert Grint
The Harry Potter Films are rewatched millions of times every year, but they are not Rupert Grint‘s list, it seems.
The Ron Weasley actor has admitted that he has only rewatched one of the films in the wizarding series that made him famous around the world.
Although Rupert insists he still thinks about the films in some form “most days,” he told GQ Hype that he hasn’t watched all seven installments in full.
“The only film I’ve rewatched is ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,'” he told the magazine. “And I enjoyed it. I felt quite distant because it had been so long.”
He described rewatching the film as “like watching a home video.”
“It was my childhood, after all,” he said. “I didn’t go to school; I lost contact with many old friends. I missed out on many shared experiences.”
However, Rupert admitted that he was looking forward to watching the films on Wednesday with his two-year-old daughter, when she is old enough.
He said: “I’ve shown her clips from Potter, but I don’t think she understands it’s me. When she’s old enough, I look forward to watching them with her.”
Together with Emma Watson and Daniel Radclife, Rupert rose to worldwide fame as a child through the Harry Potter films.
In the interview, Rupert also admitted that he would like to see JK Rowling‘ books that were adapted into a television series.
“I think it would really work. I’m sure the films will be remade anyway,” he said.
However, Rupert said he was not sure how he would feel about leaving the role of Ron to another actor.
He said: “I think it would feel like passing the baton and having someone else play Ron.
“It’s weird because I’m so protective of him, I could relate to him so well and then I was chosen to bring him to life. That’s hard to let go of. But it would be nice if I could.”
While Wednesday may not yet appreciate her father’s most famous role, Rupert previously revealed that she is a fan of a particular Potter item.
During her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last year, Rupert said she enjoyed “a Pez dispenser with my head on it.”
The thought of candy jumping out of Ron Weasley’s throat didn’t seem to faze her, and Rupert added, “It’s kind of disturbing… She’s going along with it.”
