Rupert Grint Says Filming ‘Harry Potter’ Was “Suffocating” & Questioned Continuing To Act After Saga Ended - Deadline

Taking on the role of Ron Weasley was not easy and Grint recently said in an interview that he found filming “suffocating.”

“ Potter was so full on — [filming] all year, then we’d promote the rest of the time.

Grint also said that by the end of the Harry Potter saga he “wanted a break, to reflect on everything… It was an out-of-body experience for a while, but I think we finished at the right time.

The actor reflected on the similarities his fictional character had with him personally, including being part of a numerous family.

Grint is grateful for the opportunities Harry Potter brought his way and knows that fans still remember him as Ron.

Based on the novel The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul G. Tremblay, Grint also co-stars wth Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Kristen Cui and Abby Quinn.
