While promoting
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in Madrid on Monday, Rupert Grint and James and Oliver Phelps took part in a fan Q&A. SnitchSeeker was there and asked a few questions. There is an hour-long video of the event, as well, which you can view
here and below.
Quote:
SnitchSeeker: Several days ago, J.K. Rowling announced the Pottermore project. What do you think about it? Do you think you will be involved in the project?
Oliver Phelps: We don’t know much about Pottermore. We know as much as you guys do. As fans it’s gonna be really cool. It’ll be cool to check it out when it comes out.
Rupert: Certainly we don’t know much about it. But I’ve always been a huge Harry Potter fan of the books. It’s an exciting thought that there’s more after this. I don’t know how involved any of us would be. I really don’t know, but I guess we’ll see.

SnitchSeeker: What is the scene you're most looking forward to in the last movie?
James Phelps: The scene I was most looking forward to, until I saw it today, was when the shield is put up around Hogwarts, and you really see the full might of Voldemort’s army about to launch an attack on Hogwarts.
One other interesting item came up during the Q&A: Rupert got teased a bit by the Phelps twins as talked about the scene he found most difficult to do – the long-awaited Ron and Hermione kiss.
Quote:
Rupert: Probably the most difficult scene I think this time around was – this sounds pretty horrible but – kissing Emma. Obviously she’s a very pretty girl and I’m sure lots of guys are jealous, but it was hard because I’ve known Emma since she was like nine years old. I just remember leaning in when we were doing the kiss, and our faces were getting closer and closer, and it just seemed like a really wrong, wrong thing. So that was probably the most difficult, to really get deep into Ron, the character.
Oliver Phelps: But somehow you did it. Was it a long kiss? (laughter)
Rupert: Well, we did a few takes. The scene was difficult.
