Rupert Grint's revelation: The moments he almost left the magical world behind.

Two decades after the world first encountered the magical trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, the series' enchantment continues to capture hearts. Yet, revisiting the tales from behind the curtains unveils surprises many wouldn't expect. One such startling revelation came from two pillars of the series: Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

From on-screen magic to off-screen doubts

Diving deep into their experiences during the "Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts," both Watson and Grint shared how the weight of the franchise made them consider leaving it all behind. Emma Watson, remembered by millions as the sharp-witted Hermione Granger, candidly revealed her moments of trepidation. "I think I was scared... The fame thing had finally hit home in a big way," she mused.

Echoing Watson's sentiments, Rupert Grint, who effortlessly breathed life into the lovable Ron Weasley, admitted that such feelings weren't unfamiliar to him. "I had moments like that kind of all the way through... I guess we were just kind of going through it at our own pace," Grint reflected. Their shared yet silent experiences underline the unseen pressures of growing up in the limelight.
