If he wants to do comedy in the future, I'd beg on my hands and knees for him to do it in the British way -- something along the lines of Monty Python, The Fast Show, Blackadder, Yes Minister or Faulty Towers, etc.

It's very endearing how insecure he seems to feel about his future, poor chap. The showbusiness really is tough, but I'm absolutely convinced he's got what it takes to have a career that could, one day, be just about as impressive as that of some the adult actors in the HP films.

Sadly, there are a lot of talented people who get nowhere in life and loud pushy people who persist in polluting film and television. All that reality nonsense really doesn't help! Harry Potter will continue to give Rupert some exposure, but I hope he doesn't let insecurity get in the way after it's over - an actor needs self-confidence or ambition. The last thing we need is for modest talented young actors to be shoved sideways by arrogant oxygen thieves.

In the 30,000 years I've been watching Harry Potter films, I've never seen anything resembling a spark between Rupert and Emma. As grown ups, he seems down to earth and unstarry, while she's more of a socialite and into fashion. Talk about nothing in common! I could be totally wrong, but I sincerely doubt there'll be anything between them in real life just because they're acting it on screen. Emma isn't a strong enough actress to hide any passion if it was there in real life. Just as she and Daniel couldn't hide their little flirtation around the PoA time, though that appears to have died a total death.

I know some younger fans think that Dan and Emma's little flirtation years ago meant that Harry and Hermione should be together. I saw it as a lack of acting ability - better actors would have kept their private feelings off screen and tried to convey the characters as written in the books more. Still, Dan has really improved since then - fortunate really, as he has to really fancy Cho in one film, then really fancy Ginny in the next. How immature if an actor has to actually have those feelings in real life to convey it on screen. None of them are 13 any more.

Rupert and Emma - 10 years in a sibling type relationship, then having to snog? Ew! Still, good actors should overcome it and create chemistry - we'll have to wait and see on screen - less than a month to go....

As for Rupert's reaction to kissing Emma- he has said that for years- personally I think he is too afraid to admit those feelings he IMO has for her and her for him. She is more obvious about it ;-) BUT I also have to say if it was like kissing his sister (so he says) then why did it only take them 6 takes and Dan and Katie like 30 something takes? Because they (R/E) both have the sizzling chemistry that Rupert likes to be oblvious to thats why! ;-) Yes I am a R/E shipper- dont usually go for RL ships but there really is something b/w these 2 either platonic or not, there is something there.
As for the kiss again, I SO hope there are outakes for that one!! I can see them not being able to stop laughing!!! Awww ;-)

Rupert is an adult who is in control of how the world sees him. Dan and Emma are sometimes critised because they do all the talking. Both have tried to get Rupert involved both have raved about his comic skills. in fact the only reason we know he's so funny his because they constantly tell us so. Post Potter Rupert needs to look at his interview skills, because any actor has to go out and sell themselves and the films they play in. But then again perhaps Rupert is happy as he is. Great. People lay great store by failed child actors. I disagree. If roles dry up. the failed child actor is the one who 10 years down the line is still living off past glories and still waiting for the good times to return. A child actor who realises the good times have gone, it's time to move on find another career...even that of an ice cream seller, is not a failure.
