While the group, which also included Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) and Katie Leung (Cho Chang), mostly agreed they have closed that chapter of their lives – with the exception of Lynch who said she’d reprise her role in a heartbeat – they did have fun with a question on if they could play any other role in the Harry Potter series. In fact, he was so traumatized by Hermione and Ron’s kissing scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 that he doesn’t even remember it. Actor Rupert Grint, who played Ron, opened up about filming the important kissing scene with co-star Emma Watson, who played Hermione in all eight films.

‘He was just the sweetest guy, very special.

Reflecting on the scene, the actress admitted to People: ‘I wish I never cut my hair the way I did’. I have a memory of her face getting closer and closer.

“I’ve known Emma since she was literally nine years old and we had this very brother-sister relationship”.

J.K. Rowling’s spinoff film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was also a topic touched upon by the cast. Rupert seemed pretty relieved that he and Emma were able to get it done in just one take.

“It was quite a side swipe”, said Grint, breaking the silence.

Wright said that coaching “inspired us to have that professionalism”.

However, when news broke out that a stage play titled “Harry Potter And The Cursed Child” was actually “Harry Potter 8”, not only were the tickets sold out, but global fans had hoped that it would be turned into a book for anyone to have access to. “We both wanted it to be over equally as much as the other”, she said.

Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley in Harry Potter films, said he'd drive ice cream truck to Mich.
