There were some awkward stages, for sure. My hair in film four is one of my biggest regrets. Shoulder length. I think everyone actually had a phase of having this really long hair. They liked it…it was kind of wizardy. We went through our puberty on camera. You kind of see it all. It is very cringey.
During his appearance, Rupert Grint clarified that when he looks back at his time in theHarry Potterfilms, especiallyHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,hedoesn’t experience the feeling of nostalgia. Instead, he deeply regrets sporting his long hair, which he once found iconic during his teenage years.
