In a new interview Rupert Grint talks about what his life is like now that Harry Potter is over.  He also discusses the final films and much more.

He’s a geezer – a ginger geezer with an ice cream truck, no less and that’s why, where his co-stars are, well, stars, Grint is a cult figure. “I’ve got a pretty normal life really,” says Grint, when asked whether being the guy from Harry Potter is good for an easy ride through airport security. “The only time I really feel famous is when I get recognised or at premieres. But day to day its quite boring.”

“The whole structures really changed,” says Grint of The Deathly Hallows. “In the previous films it’s always been you’re with Harry, then we get on the train and get to school. This time we’ve left school and were on the run, camping out in random places. I’ts quite moving as well, its always quite tense cos at any moment we could get attacked. And while Ron was goofy and lovesick last time around, this time he’s caught the fear. Particularly in the first part, Ron’s quite paranoid and doesn’t really trust anyone and he’s kinda jealous of Harry and Hermione. He has a few little tantrums,” Grint chuckles, “which was quite good fun.” Such a build-up meant even Grint wasn’t immune when the tears started flowing after cut was called for the last time. “It was quite a weird week actually, because we all knew it was coming,” he recalls.

“I didn’t really know how I was really gonna feel on the last day. It was actually really sad. We all cried and had a little moment. I think just cos it has been such a long time half our lives and for it to come down to just one last shot seemed like a huge deal, really. We had a barbecue and I brought my ice cream van down and served ice creams. I’m definitely gonna miss it.”
