Rupert Grint is having a difficult time letting go of the Harry Potter films, saying that he feels “empty and lost”.

Many people are feeling a bit glum in the wake of the franchise's final release, but none more so than Grint as he told the press:

“I loved every minute of it, and I’m really going to miss it. I felt empty and a bit lost, and it’s taken me a while to accept it’s over.”

  • John Lithgow New Dumbledore actor says he almost quit HBO's Harry Potter show over JK Rowling's controversial opinions

Grint went to say how the films started to take precedent over his earlier, slightly less glamorous, career ambition:

“When Harry Potter started, I wanted to be an ice-cream man, but the films showed me that I wanted to be an actor, although for the first three I didn’t take it very seriously.

He added, “I just stood where I was told and read my lines. Then with the fourth film I started caring about my performance.”

Looks like Ron Weasely is all grown up. Brings a tear to the eye, don’t you think?
