Emma discusses Harry and Hermione's conflict over Felix Felicis: Quote:
"She definitely disagrees with Harry putting the Felix Felicis in Ron's drink because it's the equivalent of taking steroids before a match or for athletics," Watson explained. "She really disagrees with it, but then she finds out that Harry's actually been smarter than her and it's all a psychological thing."
"It's kind of like a placebo drink," Watson said. "So it's all OK in the end."
| On the fact that he couldn't play Quidditch in Order of the Phoenix, and the revelation he experienced once he got on a broom for Half-Blood Prince, Rupert said: Quote:
"I was actually really gutted last year because that is sort of Ron's big Quidditch moment and I was really upset they didn't have that in ['Order of the Phoenix']," he said. "I was really looking forward to doing it this time, but it's actually sort of an anticlimax because it's really hard work.
"You're on a broom for a long time, like a few hours at a go," Grint grinned. "You're literally sitting on a broom and it gets a little bit sore down under a bit. It's been fun, but it's quite hard work."
