June 19 2009, 10:18PM– Rupert Grint along with his Harry Potter co-star Daniel Radcliffe were interviewed recently and answered a few questions about their latest film Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. We took out the Rupert part for you below. Excerpt: Rupert Grint, who plays the role of Harry’s best friend, Ron Weasley, adds, “We all got on really well with David, so we were pleased he was coming back.

Update:  Los Angeles Times Hero Complex Blog updates it’s Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince countdown with another interview with director David Yates, in which, the interviewer shared his theory “That the single best decision made in show business over the last decade was the casting of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in the lead roles of Harry, Hermione and Ron.”

Here’s what David Yates had to say….

“Absolutely, I think you’re correct. It was an extraordinary bit of judgment, bringing those three in. They have been so stable and level-headed and in working with them I continue to be impressed by how keen they are to challenge themselves and to try new things to bring out the characters that they portray. They have become these engaging ambassadors for the films and the story. They have been endlessly enthusiastic. They want to see how good they can be in these roles. They haven’t had their heads turned, either, by the fame and attention or any of it, which is wonderful for everyone to see.”
