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."

I hope that he stays for OotP. I love him as Ron! I dont think that he can be that lazy if hes an actor. Actors do alot with all that filming and promo stuff.

Oh I hope he stays for OotP. It would be a shame for him not to be in it. I really think there is going to be a Ron/Hermione pairing though. JKR has hinted as much. If he's that uncomfortable with it then it might be better if as the characters get older, they find someone new. Because an actors uncomfortableness can carry through filming and alter the mood of the film. It's possible to get past the awkwardness--- I had to get over the embarrasment when rehersing for Romeo and Juliet where I was Juliet and had to kiss Romeo (they'd cast a particular ugly Romeo at that and he was a horrid kisser so it made things all the more uncomfortable). To make things more weird was the fact that this particular Romeo and Juliet production was a modern interpretation. They'd kept the language the same but the romance scenes were a little less desireable.

The whole cast should stay for the series! I don't think anybody would care if they didn't look the exact age they're supposed to. I thought this interview was pretty cool, Rupert seems pretty laid back. I don't think he'll be able to resist his urge to play qudditch for OotP. He'll be back.

Cool interview and cool photos as well! I really hope Rupert plays Ronald Weasley in Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix!! Please Rupert!!!!! He's the perfect guy to play Ron Weasley! I don't think I would be able to see someone else playing the part of Ron instead of Rupert!

Wow that is really great to get to see some recent photos of Rupert there and he is as handsome as ever. The article was really funny too, almost not knowing where Ron and Rupert seperate from each other. I just wish him the very best and its great that an article has focused on Rupert!

I don't understand, he is almost 17. Why is he so afraid of girls, especailly one he is close friends with?

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! Hahahahha! ^_^

I hope Ron stays on as well. I think his hesitation about romantic scenes is probably not that he's abnormally shy around girls. I would guess that filming romance scenes could be a little embarrassing when you are just doing it for the first time...he'll probably have to get used to acting in more adult roles that make him stretch his boundaries.

Awww i hope he stays for OoTP, actually i would really like it if they didn't change any of the characters at all!! I love Rupert as Ron!!! But i guess if he didn't want to do it anymore that would be okay... Anywayz its not really for him to decide on whether Ron and Hermione will end up going out (i think they will!!) it all depends on the books and the screenwriters.
Coolness :)

I'd be so disapointed if he didn't continue as Ron in the movies, I think he does a great job! And can you imagine another actor trying to take his place, poor guy- he'd probably be hated!

Rupert is adorable!
I love how that caption on the second pic said he didn't do his homework sometimes! That is so Ron. I really hope he stays, he's my favorite member of the Trio, both actor-wise and character-wise.

Well, I know this entry is about Rupert, but if anyone wants to see James and Oliver Phelps from the same event that Rupert went to, ("An Audience with Al Miller") I uploaded the pictures the links below. Yes, the pics look the same but they ARE slightly different. :-)

I would be quite mad if Rupert was not in Order of the Phoenix. He plays Ron SO well. I think that with time he will be more comfortable with romantic scenes, like Ron and Hermione kind of stuff.
Rupert's so cute!

What a baby! I can't believe he's saying that when he's like, 17! Its just a part, and most of us think that the pairing will be hermione/ron! He's just breaking the spirit.
Even though that was rude of him to stay, I don't want him to leave! He is the one and only true ron!
