| 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. 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. | |

| Of course blind people dream! Lol It was illegal to sell ET dolls in France because there is a law against selling dolls without human faces. In the 1983 film "JAWS 3D" the shark blows up. Some of the shark guts were the stuffed ET dolls being sold at the time. - OMG | |

| 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 | |

| I didn't know that about ABBA - really interesting Hermione Granger's middle name was changed from "Jane" to "Jean" to avoid sharing a middle name with Umbridge. - I didn't know that Albus Dumbledore's and Ron Weasley's self-proclaimed proudest achievement was being featured on a Chocolate Frog Card. Typical Hermione Granger was the only member of the trio who returned to Hogwarts to complete their seventh year. - Even more typical | |
