The Ron Weasley actor told French magazine One he has little desire to couple with Hermione Granger in upcoming Harry Potter movies.
"Everyone expects that Ron and Hermione will go out," said Rupert Grint, "but I don't think that would be an effective finish. I must say that this idea doesn't delight me... At the moment, I have no desire to play the romantic scenes. I already had a lot of trouble with certain scenes in Prisoner of Azkaban in which I had to hold Emma's hand, then be embarrassed."

Grint also discussed what he'd like to do outside of acting, how similar he and Ron are when it comes to finishing homework, and whether or not he'll be sticking around for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. A full translation can be seen on Veritaserum.
Rupert was also snapped by photographers outside a recent filming of British television show An Audience with Al Murray, for which several Weasley family members apparently appeared:

Finally, rounding out Rupert news, the actor is in negotiations to star in a new film, Driving Lessons, according to the Rod Hall Agency Ltd. and Actual Management. Veritaserum got confirmation from a representative, who said: "It is the early days but I can confirm we are in negotiations for Rupert to star in the movie, due to shoot later this year."

Fingers crossed for Rupert to do both films! He really has to be in OotP and it would be great seeing him in something different. His career as an actor is starting to spread. Way to go, Rup!

well, i read the article and it did not say that much of what i was expecting, but hey i hope that JK put ron and hermi together. and so for ron, its just a movie, nothing will happen in the real world or well it just came out to my mind that rupet is falling in love with emma in the real world and thats the whole reason that he does not like to rode the love scens with hermi...
love

I really think that Ron should stay in the movies, I mean it just would't be right if he didn't. I think it would also be great if he and Hermionie got together in the movies and books. You can tell she likes him in the movies and books.

I'm sorry but his hair is a bit too long now. That movie "Driving Lessons" sounds awfully familiar. Best of luck with that but I hope it doesn't interfere with HP, if he continues with it (which he better). It's cute that Rupert is still shy around the camera to do certain things. But if he continues with the movies, he'll have to get used to it. Peace out!

Ooh Rupert news, awsome. I just love him. Can't wait to read the whole interview. Hmm doesn't like to hold Emma's hand, could that possibly have to do that Dan and Emma are going out. Okay I have my crarzy theories, or are they?

All i have to say is that all 3 of the child actors must stay otherwise it wont be the same... i dont like ron/hermione anyway... harry/hermione is much better suited.... I really just hope he stays....

The big three must stay for all seven movies. It just wont be the same if one of them leaves after the 5th book or whatever.
Wwll, I'm a Hermione/Ron shipper so I want other stuff to happen in the movies. :p

That is cool. I can't believe he hasn't even finished reading the books yet! I guess it hasn't really been necessary up to this point.

NO!!!! Ron and Hermione have to get together. Plus it seems like Rupert and Emma have a good bit of on screen chemistry. Oh Please let them get together!

I really hope that he stays for Oeder of the Phoenix! But why doesn't he want Ron and Hermione to get together? It is hard to do romantic scenes when you are young, but maybe he will get used to it by the time that stuff rolls around. Driving Lessons? Sounds funny.

I think I would be so dissapointed if Rupert stopped playing Ron. He does such a perfect job....it would be a shame if he quit. But then I think he's already 17 or gonna be. It would be cool for him to do other movies too. I hope he stays for OoTP.

There must be 7 movies and they must all contain the original cast (except for Dumbledore since there were circumstances beyond control).
And, Rupert is going to have to work with Emma, because J.K. is clearly moving towards putting Ron and Hermione together!
