Yahoo News Harry Potter's Rupert can't watch any film after Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter's Rupert Grint has shared that he finds it difficult to watch any Harry Potter film after The Prisoner of Azkaban.
Earlier this year, the Ron Weasley star revealed that he struggled to deal with the fame and even considered quitting the franchise after the Goblet of Fire.
And now, Grint has revealed that he can only really watch the first three parts of the Harry Potter film series.
In a recent interview for Radio Times he said: "I think those early ones are OK. More time has passed. I can detach myself a bit more from that kid.
"I did see Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone not long ago, for the first time since the premiere, and I actually enjoyed looking back."
He continued: "But the more recent ones I definitely couldn’t do. I could probably go up to [third film] Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban."
The Weasley actor has also revealed the challenges of being a wizard's best friend in the film series and how that kind of character could feel overwhelming.
He said: "I struggle to remember life before it. I think I lost myself a little bit along the way. With the fame, you’re almost being the character even when you’re not in character."
Well, clearly the Harry Potter days are at least temporarily over for him, as he recently revisited our screens as a star of BBC One's series The ABC Murders.
In comparison to playing "the vulnerable, nerdy sidekick," Grint plays Inspector Crome, who is "someone with authority".
You decide how he fares without Professors Snape, Dumbledore and McGonagall to bail him out.
