Grint continued:
“Sometimes it definitely felt like, ‘I want to do something else. See what else is out there,” Grint said. ” It just never ended. Every year, we came back. And it was kind of like ‘Groundhog Day’ because it was the same sets. It was the same people.”
Despite the occasionally “suffocating” feeling, Grint did admit that it was “a great experience.” “But it was great. I loved it,” Grint said.

“I’ve probably seen the first three at the premieres, but after that I stopped watching them,” he said during an interview with Variety.
He continued, “But now that I have a daughter, I will probably have to watch them with her.”
