Your support makes all the difference.In an event sure to send ripples of shock through the Harry Potter fan community, comes the revelation that Rupert Grint isn't a Gryffindor, revealing the world just to be an empty vessel of lies and deceit.
The Ron Weasley actor recently took the popular Sorting Hat quiz on Pottermore, the official website for the books, but was led to a very different conclusion than his onscreen character; something even Grint himself didn't see coming. "Gryffindor, I think. That's what I feel, like, I kind of belong there," he'd previously mentioned in the video.
WRONG. Sorry to break this to you Grint, but you're 100% pure Hufflepuff.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing; though the house always gets a hard time thanks to its emblem being the most uncool animal, the badger (not even a honey badger), you've always got Robert Pattinson on your team. "Yeah, I feel pretty good. It wasn't what I was expecting," he admitted.
Also asked whether he ever missed playing Weasley, Grint responded; "Occasionally I miss it, but I think it finished at the right time, and I think we ended on a big bang; it's great that it's living on in so many different other forms."
In the continuing world of all things Potter, the first images of Hermione, Ron, Harry, Ginny, and their children were released ahead of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child's previews starting 7 June.
