The actor played Harry’s friend Ron Weasley in the hit fantasy adaptations, and starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.
In a new interview with Variety, Grint revealed: “I’ve probably seen the first three at the premieres. After that, I stopped watching them.”
However, the 32-year-old star said that he will “probably have to watch them” with his daughter, who was born last year.
Elsewhere in the interview, Grint also addressed the recent rumours that a Harry Potter TV series is in development at HBO Max.
Both Warner Bros and HBO Max released a statement after reports of the project surfaced, saying: “There are no Harry Potter series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform.”
Speaking on the subject, Grint said: “It’ll be weird if it was a continuation kind of thing. I weirdly feel quite protective of that character.
“Even when I saw the stage shows, it was a very strange experience … If it’s like a different group of friends, I guess it would be interesting.”
Grint can currently be seen in the second season of M Night Shyamalan’s Apple TV+ series Servant.
