Rupert Grint has said that he stopped watching the "Harry Potter" movies after the first three, and he only saw those at the premieres.
In an interview with Variety, Grint, who played Ron Weasley in all eight movies, said: "I've probably seen the first three at the premieres, but after that, I stopped watching them."
After "The Prisoner of Azkaban," then, Grint has somehow missed all of the other Potter movies. But that may change following the birth of his first child.
Grint isn't the first "Potter" alumn who hasn't been caught up with the movie series. Draco Malfoy actor Tom Felton recently rewatched the movies for the first time in 20 years. Felton called Malfoy a "little s---" during the live stream he filmed while watching them.

In the same interview with Variety, Grint said that he doesn't expect to be part of the new Harry Potter TV series being developed by HBO Max, and said it would be "weird if it was a continuation kind of thing." It's unclear what the series will be about, but it seems he doesn't want anyone else playing Ron.
"I weirdly feel quite protective of that character," he said. "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."
