Rupert Grint quotes:

Like one time I was a fish in Noah's Ark and now I'm in Harry Potter, a big step.

The truth is that Ron is my hero. He's always there for his friends - sometimes belligerently, but there nevertheless. He's also the comic relief in stressful situations; the funny guy with a great one-liner. And no matter how scared he may be, he will put aside his fears to support and protect the people he loves. To me, that represents true courage.

It's always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don't know if I'm good enough to have a long career. I've got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.

I think coughing up slugs was quite hard. Ron has a scene where he has to cough up these giant slugs. I had this giant slug in my mouth loaded with slime and I spat them out. I think it was plastic. I hope it was plastic.

When I read the books, I imagined that the family of Ron Weasley was my family.

I've known Emma Watson since she was 9, we've watched each other grow up, formed this sort of brother/sister bond, and suddenly I'm leaning in to kiss her. Well, it felt completely wrong... but, you know, you try to sink into the character and divorce yourself from it. We ended up laughing hysterically afterwards.

It would be quite good to be a Formula 1 [racecar] driver.

I'll always be the ginger one from Harry Potter.

I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books. Ron was always my favorite character, because I feel like I relate to him, like weve both got red hair, we both like sweets, weve both got lots of brothers and sisters. Ive got one brother and three sisters, and both scared of spiders.

But I like all the books. You've got to read them all to get the complete Harry Potter experience.

I do, kind of, spend a lot. And just on stupid things. Because I don't really know what to do. What are you supposed to do? Um. It just seems like way too much. We don't deserve it, at all, for what we do.

I've never fancied that footballer lifestyle. I suppose I could live that kind of flash life. People stereotype child actors and kind of expect you to go off the rails a bit, be a bit crazy, but that's not really happened yet. I've got a big family so that helps, and they live really close to the studios so it's just so much easier.

So yes, I do want to try and keep things going if I can. I have a few things brewing And if it doesn't happen, I did buy an ice cream van a while ago. So I always have that to fall back on.

One in the third film, I'm looking forward to meeting one of the Dementors.

Being famous is wicked. But it's better to be normal.

People recognize me, call me Ron, and ask me questions. It's really cool and weird as well.

Ron was always my favorite character, because I feel like I relate to him, like we've both got red hair, we both like sweets, we've both got lots of brothers and sisters.

Don't have a favorite subject, I think I want to carry on doing this because I really enjoy it.

I do get one chance to dance [in GoF], I had to dance with Maggie Smith. That was the only dancing experience I had, which was actually quite enough really.

I want Ron to stand up to Malfoy and punish him.

Being famous is wicked, but being normal is better.

I found out that you could audition by sending a picture of yourself and some information to Newsround.

They were just kind of simultaneous - the film ending and the sets being destroyed. I was struck the first time I saw the Great Hall become a big pile of burning rubble and getting scattered around. It's really quite shocking for the fans.

I went out with people, but never anything too serious. It wasn't that easy. Now it's something I'm really looking forward to.

I'd like to have the flying car, I think that'd be really cool.

The characters in the book grow up with us. My voice has broken as well.

Every time I come off-set, I am just like a normal kid again.

I've always been quite a proud ginger so I couldn't dye it and betray the other gingers.

Leave home? It's quite a scary thought. I'm not the most independent person and that's the result. When you're always surrounded by people it becomes quite normal.

For me the stunts are so cool, they're one of my favourite things when we're doing the film.

Well one of the times I did a stunt was in the devil's snare room and they lifted me up on a harness and a safety rope really, really high, and they just dropped me down into the devil's snare.

We had a script reading, and that's where we met J.K. Rowling, which was really exciting.

I was always a big fan of the books and over the years I've become quite attached to Ron and we've meshed into the same person, really.

In terms of filming, yes, it really does feel over now. There's a real sense of freedom now. It's a good time to finish, I think. As much as I'm going to miss it I'm ready to move on and do different things.

Id be happiest standing at the back, strumming my little banjo where no one could see me.

It's not that I find it hard to meet girls - they do come up and chat me up from time to time. Sometimes I'm interested, I tend not to go for the prettier ones. I prefer the quirkier types.

I like all Jim Carrey films. They're really funny.

I think coughing up slugs was quite hard. Ron has a scene where he has to cough up these giant slugs.

I get recognised sometimes, and that's really cool. I've tried certain disguises, but that doesn't work.

So yes, I do want to try and keep things going if I can. I have a few things brewing... And if it doesn't happen, I did buy an ice cream van a while ago. So I always have that to fall back on.

I'm shorter, I don't have as many freckles as Ron, and I can't do magic.

I've just started school again, and it was a bit strange to start off with; it took me three or four days to get used to it. My friends have been great, they've been treating me normally.

After being in Harry Potter, I believe a bit more in magic than I did before.

Before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.

Being famous is wicked but its cool to be normal as well.

Getting recognized is sort of weird anyway. I'm 17 now. You get the odd person sort of shouting out "Ron!" or something. And my hair at the moment sort of stands out a bit, can't really avoid it.

Harry Potter has been a fantastic experience and the fact it has made stars of us all is unbelievable at times - it really is magic of a sort.

I always loved acting, but it's weird to think what I'd be doing if this hadn't come around. It's kind of a bit of a fluke how I got into it, so I'm grateful.

I always wanted to go into acting.

I am a really big Harry Potter fan and I've seen all the sets, I've lived Harry Potter and I don't think it's destroyed the books at all, I think it's really spot on.

I especially like Ron. Sometimes you feel so sorry for him because he's always getting stuff from his brothers. And he's got a fat, lazy rat.

I was in America, someone wanted a photo with me, I put my arm around her and she told me not to touch her.

I would date a fan, I dont have a problem with that. I look for a good sense of humour in a girlfriend.

I've loved the whole process. From previews to rehearsals, I'm in the best company. I've done one West End show before this but the excitement here"¦it's incredible. It's been a real education working on this, I don't feel worthy. The role is over the top, bold and ridiculous.

I'd like to levitate.

If there is one thing of which I am most proud, it's that I made being ginger cool!

I'm so proud to be part of Harry Potter and even prouder to be representing the gingers.

Itd be cool to carry on doing films, but when I was a kid I wanted to be an ice cream man.

It's going to be really weird to know that people are going to actually know my name, that's going to be strange.

I've never been seriously involved with anyone. I've certainly never been in love. I've always preferred to keep things casual.

I've tried to have a really normal life, and I have because my family treats me normal, and my friends treat me just the same.

Looking back at all the films, it just seems like one long film.

My favorite scene in this film was the flying car, because that was just wicked.

The most challenging scene for me was the spider scene, because I don't like spiders in real life. Even rubber ones I get really scared of.

There's a real sense of freedom now. It's a good time to finish, I think. As much as I'm going to miss it I'm ready to move on and do different things.

Things at home didn't change much. I still have to clean my own room!

Too bad brooms can't really fly. Now if you miss the bus you can't just go in your room and fly to school with a nimbus two thousand!

Walking into the great hall for the first time was absolutely incredible - all these effects with all the candles floating in the air, all lit and everything, food on the table, all the flambeaus were lit - it was just incredible, it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life.

Yeah, my parents help me keep my feet on the ground.
