Yeah me too. And the fact that he said that if the acting career doesn't succeed he could always make living by selling ice cream. I would totally buy it! I would make ice cream my daily food. Laughing Laughing He's one of my favorites too!

During the scene where the horcrux version of Harry and Hermione were kissing Rupert Grint got sent off the set because he was laughing too much. Very Happy

Hahaha I have no idea. Maybe if it gets alive and eats you? xD

When Alfonso Cuarσn became director for Prisoner of Azkaban, in order to acquaint himself with the three leads, he asked each of them to write an essay about their characters from a first-person perspective. True to character, Emma Watson (Hermione) wrote a 16-page essay, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) wrote a simple one-page summary, and Rupert Grint (Ron) never turned his in.

In the end credits of the Goblet of Fire film, it says: "No dragons were harmed in the making of this movie" hahahaha lol!

Hermione going back to Hogwarts doesn't surprise me.

Daniel Radcliffe's favorite character from "Harry Potter" is Hagrid.

Daniel Radcliffe studied belly dancing.

George would never be able to evoke a Patronus Charm after Fred's death.

When Fred & George bewitched snowballs to hit Quirrell's turban, they were unwittingly hitting Voldemort in the face.

Fred and George were the only sons of Arthur and Molly Weasley who did not become prefects during their education at Hogwarts. - doesn't surprise me lol.

Scorpius Malfoy is the second cousin of Teddy Lupin. - very interesting.

40 versions of Salazar Slytherin’s locket had to be created to accommodate Ron & Harry’s failed attempts to destroy it. - LOL
