Rupert Grint might have starred as Ron Weasley in the smash-hit series, but he has only rewatched one of the films.
Unlike many fans who religiously rewatch the Harry Potter franchise, Rupert revealed he has only given one of them another viewing.
He confessed in an interview with GQ Hype that he thinks about the films in "some way" on most days.
However, he hasn't felt the temptation to have a Harry potter marathon.
There is one film that he gave another watch: “The only one I’ve ever rewatched is Philosopher’s Stone, and I enjoyed it. I felt detached enough, because it was so long ago.”
He said it was “like watching a home movie”.
“It was my childhood, after all,” he said. “I didn’t go to school; I lost touch with a lot of old friends. I missed out on a lot of shared experiences.”
His feelings on having a viewing session might change as his daughter Wednesday grows up, he says.
She is currently two-years-old, and so far he has shown her a few clips: “I’ve shown her clips from Potter but I don’t think she understands it’s me. When she’s old enough, I’m looking forward to watching them with her.”
Rupert says he feels like the book series would work as a TV show too: "I think it would really work. I’m sure the films will get remade, anyway,” he said.
"I think there’d be a feeling of passing the baton, letting someone else play Ron.
“It’s weird because I’m protective over him, I could relate to him so much, and then I was picked to bring him to life. That’s hard to let go. But it would be nice to, as well.”
Rupert revealed last year that his daughter has a Pez dispenser "with his head on it".
He joked: “It’s kind of disturbing... She’s going with it.”
The youngster also has her own wand.
