The stars of the Harry Potter films grew up in front of the camera. When the first movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, premiered in November 2011, lead actor Daniel Radcliffe was just 12 years old, meaning that he went through his awkward phase with millions of people watching.
In November 2016, Radcliffe told Digital Spy that he has never sat down and watched the award-winning flicks because they’re too cringeworthy. He admitted: “One day I probably will watch them back if I have kids, so I’ll do that then. But hopefully they’ll enjoy them and that’ll distract me from my own performance.”
On the other hand, Rupert Grint, who started playing Ron Weasley at just 13 years old, can only watch the first few Harry Potter flicks. “I did see Harry Potter and the [Sorcerer’s] Stone not long ago, for the first time since the premiere, and I actually enjoyed looking back,” he told Radio Times in December 2018. “But the more recent ones I definitely couldn’t do … I could probably go up to [third movie] Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.”
The Snatch alum also added that he “missed out on normal things” while he was filming the big-screen adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s beloved book series.
Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), who was 11 when the first Harry Potter flick premiered, said growing up in the spotlight was tough. “I was working on Harry Potter while I was growing up, and the attention it brought me made me feel quite isolated,” she recalled to The Telegraph in September 2012. “It’s only recently that I’ve felt much better in my own skin and known my own worth a lot more than I used to.”
