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.
