In a new interview with The Independent, Rupert Grint discusses a TON of different topics including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Cherrybomb, and how fame has affected his life.  The Potter segments may be read below:

After all, the red-haired one from Harry Potter must be feeling it right now. He’s been filming the final instalment of the hit franchise based on the J K Rowling novels for just over a year now. “We haven’t got long left,” he says. “Just the final parts of the second part of the film.” Not that exhaustion has set in yet. Rather, a feeling of uncertainty has enveloped him. “It’ll be strange saying goodbye,” he says.

With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows split into two films (the first due out in November, the second in July 2011), it will be some time yet before we bid farewell to Grint’s character, Ron Weasley, and all the other Hogwarts pupils. But for the 21-year-old, a life-changing experience that began half his life ago is due to end this June when filming finishes. “It’s a weird feeling actually,” he admits. “I never really thought it would end. I never really saw this day coming.”

But with Ron on the run with Harry and Hermione in the final Harry Potter instalment, at least we’ll get to see Grint in a more action-oriented role in Deathly Hallows. “I have hair extensions for the latter part of the film,” he explains. “Ron gets a bushier hairstyle because they’re living rough and camping out. Me and Dan have got stubble as well!” Ron Weasley with facial hair? Perhaps it shows Rupert Grint is ready to leave Harry Potter after all.

The eldest of five, Grint’s equilibrium evidently stems from his upbringing in a strong family unit. “We’re quite close,” he says, before acknowledging that it’s “been a weird few years” for his family. “It’s been quite life-changing for everyone really. It’s been quite an adjustment.” While his father runs his own business dealing in Formula 1 memorabilia, even turning tyres into coffee tables, Grint tells me the whole clan have “been all over the world” with him for the premieres and promotional duties. “There are some good perks,” he grins.
