Rupert Grint: ‘Ron and Hermione would have divorced’
Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), and Katie Leung (Cho Chang) reunited to chat all things Harry Potter, with Lewis rockin’ some serious facial hair.
Rupert Grint says Ron Weasley’s relationship with Hermione Granger in Harry Potter was doomed and the pair would definitely have divorced.
Asked what he thinks happens to Ron after the novels conclude, Grint told The Huffington Post: “I would expect Ron has probably divorced Hermione already”.
Grint: Yeah. Exactly. He’s living on his own, in a little one-bedroom apartment. “He hasn’t got a job”, said Grint. All four agree here too: Evanna Lynch, who was famously a Potter superfan who basically won the role of Luna simply because she has her visualized in a way none of the other auditioners for the part did, is the one they all turn to. In 2014, J.K. Rowling famously said that, in hindsight, she thinks Harry should have ended up with Hermione.
Both JK Rowling’s books and the films saw Harry’s best friends finally get it together.
If your heart is breaking, just take solace in the fact that, you know, they’re just fictional characters.
“I don’t know. I don’t think it’s put me off. There’s pros and cons. Harry Potter could be at times quite suffocating, ” Grint said. I have a memory of her face getting closer and closer. “So he’s a professor, just enjoying that”, said Lewis.
“Yeah, him and Hermione don’t see eye to eye because I’ve taken Ron’s side in the relationship, obviously”. Did you choose Hermione?
Ron is on Tinder doing horribly…
Lewis: Are you Ron as well?
He added that the Weasley wizard would be a “bachelor” now and most of their mutual friends would have sided with Hermione. “Hermione would handle herself better”, Lynch explains. And I’m like, “Come on, it’s fine, we’ll sort it out, just trying to get you back into the fold”. “So yeah, I suppose there would be a tiny bit of reluctance”, Rupert Grint added of the years he, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson spent filming the mega-blockbuster film saga. I just can’t see Harry (or even Hermione) letting Ron enter that kind of tailspin.
While Watson wasn’t there to voice her opinion, Lynch uttered what we’re all thinking right now, “What?!”
