Videos: Rupert Grint interviews on Regis & Kelly, MTV American Talk, Parade magazine
Rupert Grint began his national promotion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in New York City this Monday on ABC's Live with Regis and Kelly, where he discussed the final film and having to kiss Emma Watson on-screen. That's below.
Rupert, Tom Felton, and Matthew Lewis tested their American accents with MTV once again, trying to sing a few tunes from a Miley Cyrus song and trying to pronounce 'American' quotes with a Yankee accent. Their rather failed attempts can be seen here (note there is a bit of strong language).
Finally, Rupert chatted with Parade magazine about kissing Emma, supporting Daniel Radcliffe and seeing How to Succeed this past weekend, and his emotional tie to the Harry Potter series and trying to let it go.
It hasn’t sunk in that it’s over.
Rupert Grint: “Not entirely, no. It’s still quite a strange thing to come to terms with, just the fact that we won’t be coming back next year. It really is the end. I’m not usually sentimental with stuff like that, but it has been a huge part of our lives, and it just feels really sudden that it’s all coming to an end. This feeling of freedom is quite overwhelming.”
On letting go of Ron Weasley.
Rupert: “It’s been a decade of playing the same person and a character I already felt quite close to anyway because of the books. We really have become the same person. I think it’s going to be hard to shake him out of me.”

On the most emotional scene he filmed.
Rupert: “The scene after the battle, with the three of us on the bridge. It’s the moment that kind of chokes me up the most. It is just that power between me, Dan, and Emma. Every day, every week, every month, every year, we’ve come together and made these films quite intensely. It is a really intimate process, making a film. You do form this tight bond, especially this being such a unique way of growing up, we’ve all shared that. We’ll always stay in touch.”
Support for his friend and co-star, Daniel Radcliffe.
Rupert: “I saw Dan’s play last night. It was awesome, really great. He looks so happy. He’s just alive. It’s really great to see.”
On his highly-anticipated kiss with Emma Watson.
Rupert: “We felt the pressure a little bit, because this is a moment that’s been built up for so long now, and it had to come down to this one moment. It’s a scene that wasn’t in the book, it was written for the film. And it’s not just a kiss—it’s this big, romantic moment, and it had to be believable, which I hope it is. It was a challenge. We had a laugh about it.”
On seeing the lip-lock on the big screen.
Rupert: “I didn’t enjoy watching it, especially in 3-D! It’s harder watching it than doing it.”
On getting a glimpse into the future while filming the epilogue.
Rupert: “It was quite satisfying at the end of the day, ripping all the makeup and stuff off and instantly becoming younger. I suppose in 20 years time I’m not going to be able to do that! It was good fun, but it’s a weird thing to get your head around.”
On his favorite Potter memory.
Rupert: “My first-ever scene on the set was really cool. It was actually the last scene on the first film, when we were leaving Hogwarts on the train. It was just such a change. One week I was literally at school and reading the Potter books, and suddenly I was on the set. It was just a really overwhelming, exciting thing. I felt quite out of my depth, because I did feel like the most inexperienced person there. But it was just great to be there.”
On what he’ll miss the most.
Rupert: “The people, the friendships, the memories, and the place—just going to the same place everyday. It became a second home. I remember packing everything up in the last few weeks and finding toys and birthday cards from when I was 13 and 14. I never imagined I’d be here 10 years later talking about the eighth film. It just seems so surreal. It’s been so much fun. I really am truly going to miss it.”
hahaha the american talk was great, major effort from Tom ... I feel bad for Matt though with his accent, hard to get from yorkshire to american ... and Rupert 'what are b-b--brewskies?'
I am so glad I finally got to see that American Talk interview, that was just too funny!! I kept seeing it on my phone but couldn't watch it, haha. I love how Rupert got all food for his gifts.
Rupert is amazing but the american talk one wouldn't play Oh well I'll just go on youtube and search for it. And Rupert doesn't have to worry about his kissing scene, it was great! Although you mostly see the back of his head,still awesome
