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."

He's turning 17 and he's worried about doing any romantic scenes with a gorgeous girl. Geez whats up with him, get over it. I can't believe that he found it hard to act by just holding her hand.

It's a sham ethat Rupert isn't yet prepared to do some smoochy scenes yet. I think if he is in film 6, he'll have to snog Hermione or Luna.

Rupert was embarresed when he hold Emma's hand in the PoA movie? Pity. It was so good. I hope the director will do more romantic scenes, even if Rupert doesnt like it!

I want Rupert stay in the rest of the movies, but I know this is going to be the last to be played by all of them (the productors are very slow filming the movies, and the time don´t stop for anybody, so the three of them, soon are going to be too old for playing their roles.
That´s what I swear Rupert to do this, because probably it´ll be the last.

Rupert should stay! Whether he likes it, or... or else! :p Honestly, if Rupert doesnt stay in HP, I wont watch the movies anymore! I'll just read the books!
But yeah, Rupert has to learn to get comfy with romance.. because he looks, in every way, like the perfect romantic leading man-- gentleman, shy, mysterious, enigmatic, and most of all, a tall red-head with green eyes, the most awesome smile, a great bod and a deep sexy voice and Brit accent. C'mon Roo, you might enjoy it too, yah know :p

Awe that's cute that he doesn't want to do romantic scenes. But he's just going to have to deal with it because Ron and Hermione are getting together! Haha. His hair is a little too long for my liking in those pictures, but they are still good!

I hope the entire cast stays for the movies because i am so accustomed to seeing them play the roles that they do, and i think the movies might not be as good if they changed that.

Haha, what a weenie. He's embaressed to freakin hold someones hand?!?! He's an actor, thats his job, thats why he gets paid millions of freakin dollar!! Makes me sick it does when a 17 year old star actor is so clearly heading down the road of being G-A-Y. On a more lighter note, I understood almost all of that french article. Yippi for me and my French 11 skills.

I don't think JKR will alter her plans for the characters just because the actor balks at playing a scene... Rupert will be fine... that's why they call it 'acting'.
