WATCH: Rupert Grint & Matthew Lewis Remain Magical For A Live Q&A

Fun* fact: it’s coming up on five years since Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Pt. II hit cinema screens in Australia. While you may slowly be recovering from the likely pinnacle of your adolescent fandom, not everyone on the cast has reverted to normalcy. 

Daniel Radcliffe, of course, is showing off a film starring him as a farting, perma-boner corpse, but Rupert Grint and Matthew Lewis let fans in on their own lives post-HP for a more-or-less senseless Facebook Q & A for the Celebration Of Harry Potter exhibition at Universal Orlando Resort, Florida. 

This morning, perched alongside each other, the pair discussed the real issues, like what they’d do if they were never employed into the world of witchcraft and wizardry. 

Lewis, the bloody unit he is, said he’d be down for a career in rugby league, but Grint’s answer remains in left-field: mate still just loves running his ice-cream van.

“My real dream is one: to be an ice cream man… I have a van, yeah. I’ve stopped driving it ’round, ’cause it’s a bit creepy, isn’t it? I don’t want to get a reputation.” 



The chat careens towards the question of whether either bloke had pocketed anything from set. The answer, of course, is a resounding “yes”, with Lewis gladly admitting he kept his false teeth and the lil’ plastic nubs required to push his ears forward / fool the audiences into believing he wasn’t destined to become the most attractive dude on the entire cast. 

“No-one else was gonna wear ’em,”
he said. Solid reasoning, tbh. 

Watch the entire chat below, and feel free to contrast their delightfully cheeky admissions to Emma Watson‘s mission to, uh, actually change the planet:
