J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter books became worldwide phenomenons with adults and kids alike and garnered great success on the silver screen too. The 8-part film series became cult blockbusters while also making Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint bonafide superstars in their own right. The actors who played the 3 central protagonists have always credited their success to their stint in the Harry Potter franchise.

Having a continuing gig in a film franchise means that the three young stars physically and emotionally grew up together on set which expectedly led to a strong friendship. Among the innumerable fun times and countless pranks between the actors on set, one particularly cheeky incident involving Radcliffe and Grint became fodder for many hilarious comments and some dark humor as well.

Over 8 films, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint along with a massive ensemble cast, have brought alive J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter books on screen. It is common knowledge that the young stars and the other actors formed a close camaraderie over the years on set. While there have been many memorable behind-the-scenes moments between the stars, an old video of Daniel Radcliffe pranking Rupert Grint is going viral online.

Just as Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, is about to kiss Lavender Brown, played by the beautiful Kathleen Cauley in the 6th film, the Harry Potter actor yelled ‘cut’, forcing his co-star to re-record the scene. While the video shows everyone laughing and enjoying the moment, a few netizens have resorted to some dark wit to give their opinions on what transpired. One viewer said,

‘Not all heroes have parents’,

Another hit below the belt alluded to Radcliffe’s problem with alcohol saying,

‘Daniel was p*ssed out of his mind’

A few others commented on the actor’s position of privilege and said,

”When he said ‘I am the chosen one’ I feel like he really, really, REALLY, meant it’”

Despite some trolling and judging towards the video, many viewers also praised Radcliffe for his cheeky move and called him a ‘rizzard’, a person who is blessed with the gift of the gab.
