Rupert Grint is speaking out about the potential Harry Potter TV show…
The 32-year-old actor opened up about his thoughts and how he felt watching the Cursed Child plays.
“It’ll be weird if it was a continuation kind of thing,” he told Variety of the possible TV series. “I weirdly feel quite protective of that character. Even when I saw the stage shows, it was a very strange experience… If it’s like a different group of friends, I guess it would be interesting.”
Rupert also revealed that he hasn’t seen most of the Harry Potter movies!
“I’ve probably seen the first three at the premieres, but after that I stopped watching them,” he shared. “But now that I have a daughter, I will probably have to watch them with her.”

Harry Potter could be coming to the small screen!!
It’s being reported that the mega-hit book series is in the very early stages of getting a TV show on HBO Max, according to THR.
The streaming service has “engaged in multiple conversations with potential writers exploring various ideas that would bring the beloved property to television,” and “broad ideas have been discussed as part of the early-stage exploratory meetings.”
While early talks are taking place, there is nothing in development as of yet.
“There are no Harry Potter series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform,” HBO Max and Warner Bros. said in a statement to THR.
If you didn’t know, HBO Max is under the WarnerMedia umbrella, which also includes Warner Bros, who owns the rights to Harry Potter, along with author JK Rowling.
The third Fantastic Beasts movie is also in the works, with a new actor taking over for Johnny Depp.
If you missed it, this Harry Potter franchise star recently said it’s “painful” to re-watch the movies sometimes!
Matthew Lewis is speaking out about the Harry Potter films!
In a new interview, the 31-year-old actor shared why it’s hard for him to re-watch the super popular film series, that spanned much of his youth.
“I find it quite difficult when too much of me starts to come through in a character,” he told the New York Times. “It’s easier when I can play someone completely different, like a police officer in London or someone who’s wealthy.”
“At times it’s painful how much of me there is in Neville,” Matthew said of the Harry Potter films. “When I’m watching, I’m like, ‘That’s not Neville; that’s you.’”
He did add, though, that there are worse things to be remembered by than Harry Potter.
“If there’s something people remember you by, there are worse things than the Harry Potter franchise,” he shared. “It opened so many doors for me when I otherwise wouldn’t even have gotten in the room.”
Matthew has had quite the transformation since the first film came out in 2001, and he even showed off his ripped body back in 2015.
If you don’t remember, find out which co-star Matthew had a crush on for a couple of years!
Rupert Grint is speaking out again about returning to the Harry Potter Franchise!
The 32-year-old actor was asked about the possibility while promoting the second season of his show Servant.
“I don’t know. I mean, never say never,” he told ComicBook.com. “I would never say, ‘Absolutely no.’ It was a huge part of my life and I’m very fond of that character and their stories. So yeah, I mean, I’d be up for it at the right time. I don’t know what capacity that would be, but yeah, we’ll see.”
If you remember, over the summer, Rupert and co-star Tom Felton opened up about whether they would be open to going back and what roles they would take on!

Tom Felton is working on a Harry Potter reunion!
The 33-year-old actor, who played Draco Malfoy, in the film franchise, recently opened up about trying to get his co-stars together for the upcoming 19th anniversary.
The first movie in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, premiered on November 14, 2001.
“I saw the Weasley twins the other day. We went out to play some golf. Always chatting with a lot of the other guys on WhatsApp and staying in touch with them and making sure everything’s alright,” Tom told ET. “It’s been nice because it’s the 19th-year anniversary on Nov. 14, so I’m planning some sort of digital celebration…I’m trying to wrangle all the oldies back together again to celebrate the achievement really.”
He also shared that Draco and how he really just needs a hug.
“He’s great. He has so many layers, he’s misunderstood, he’s also a bit of a git,” he said. “He needs a hug really. I think maybe people feel sorry for him, he needs a bit of affection. Either way, I’m highly flattered and intend to do my best to satisfy that desire.”
We really hope to see this Harry Potter reunion happen!!
