Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint has finally admitted that he has a crush on his wizarding co-star, Emma Watson.

The 20-year-old said he found it easy to see why Watson was so popular with male Potter fans, because she’s a “pretty girl” who everyone on set simply adores. He also put fellow co-star Daniel Radcliffe in the firing line, stating that both Potter leading men have a thing for the 19-year-old, who plays Hermione Granger in the hit Warner Bros. franchise.

“A lot of people think there’s something going on [between me and Emma Watson] because I have to kiss her on film soon,” Grint said. “I’ll be honest with you, it’s not something I’d say I’m dreading.”

Grint added: “Emma’s a pretty girl. Have Daniel or I ever hit on Emma? Well, she’s quite popular with the cast. As for who has the worst crush on her – me or Radcliffe – I’d rather not say.”

The sixth installment in the Harry Potter series, Half-Blood Prince, opens in cinemas this week. The last film – to be split in two because of its size – will begin production later this month.

Rupert Grint, the actor who portrays Ron Weasley in the Potter series, has just finished fimling a steamy sex scene for his new movie, Cherry Bomb, set to hit theatres in January 2009.

Just like his co-star Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the title role of Harry Potter, Grint decided that getting his kit off was the best way to move on and distance himself from the stereotypical role of a boyhood wizard.

“I really loved the script and having done Harry Potter, I wanted to do something different. It was quite a challenge,” Grint told BBC Newsline.

In the film, Grint plays Malachy, one of the three main characters in a dangerous love triangle with bad girl Michelle (Kimberley Nixon). Nixon’s character manages to catch the eye of both Malachy and his best friend Luke (Robert Sheehan), and coaxes them into doing terrible things for her affections.

Now that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been delayed eight months, it means we’ll get to see both Radcliffe and Grint in the nuddie, before we see their latest Potter foray.

Warner Bros. have just released a brand new set of much-anticipated promotional shots for their upcoming film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Even though there’s still no teaser trailer (and no official word on when it will come), these new shots should quench the thirst of die-hard Potter fans for a little while, at least.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens in theatres across America on November 21, and in Australia on December 11. For a full list of the release dates across the globe, check out the film’s IMDB page.

My opinion of Rupert Grint just went up.

Rupert doesn’t like airheads actresses like Lindsay Lohan and thinks it is best to avoid them at all costs. He met Lindsay while in the US last year and said that she bored him by talking about herself all the time.

Rupert has no desire to meet Paris Hilton because she was the sort of girl you should “stay away from”.

On Lohan, Rupert says:

“I met Lindsay last summer and she talked about herself a lot.

“She said she was going to win an Oscar before she turns 25. I just kept thinking, ‘But you can’t act’.

“I haven’t met Paris and don’t want to either. She and Lindsay are the type of girls you need to stay away from.”

This guy is wise beyond his years.
