Interview with Rupert Grint

Lizo: Now Rupert tell us how much fun did you have with this movie?
Rupert: Yeah, this one was fun! But seeing it finally was the really good bit - 'cos you get to see all the special effects that you didn't get to see when we were making the film.

Lizo: So is it bizarre on set when you're doing stuff without knowing how it'll turn out - like the scenes with the Dementors?
Rupert: It's weird - and there's some scary puppet stuff as well. Yeah, it's really weird doing all the special effects stuff but it's really satisfying to see it all at the end.

Lizo: What did you think when you saw it on screen?
Rupert: It's a lot different to the other films which was good. It's a lot more grown up, and a lot darker as well which is good.

Lizo: Things are hotting up between you and Hermione?
Rupert: There's a lot of awkward hand-holding moments which is a bit weird but it is fun to do! And there were a few hugs as well which didn't make the final cut - there was a lot of that sort of stuff.

Lizo: Do you think Ron and Hermione are well-suited?
Rupert: I dunno! When they first met they didn't like each other. And in this one they were arguing about the cat and the rat!

Lizo: So forget the Sirius Black thing - this movie's all about the cat and the rat stuff eh?
Rupert: Definitely yeah!

Lizo: What did you think of the cat playing Crookshanks?
Rupert: Emma liked it but Dan and I thought it was a bit ugly - he has a flat face. He was alright.

Lizo: Did he have a nice personality?

Rupert: Ha! Well he was really well trained. All the animals were, the rat aswell.

Lizo: What's it like being one of the most famous teenagers in the world?

Rupert: I get recognised sometimes which is quite weird. It's hard to get used to. It's really weird but quite cool too.

Lizo: What do you do when you have time off?
Rupert: I've just recently started playing golf - I played in Scotland, they've a lot of courses up there. That's quite fun. And I play computer games a lot.

Lizo: What do you do when you're on set but not filming?
Rupert: There's not really a lot of time. We're always filming and when we're not we're tutoring! But we have a really good time anyway 'cos, well, it's not that hard work, it's all good fun.

Lizo: You're just getting ready to start the next film - what are you looking forward to in that?
Rupert: My dress robes are going to be quite cool - so I'm looking forward to seeing what they look like. The Yule Ball should be good.

Lizo: And finally the question everyone wants to know - are you going to get your hair cut - or is this the new look for Rupert?
Rupert: I think it is. That's what they're saying. I have had it cut - this is it short, well shorter than it was 'cos it was really long for a while. Yeah, this is the final sort of thing.

Lizo: Well, we'll let you know how the vote goes on the web!
Rupert: Yeah do!
