The Harry Potter cast reunited to celebrate Warner Bros’s studio tour grand opening in Watford, England this weekend. Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, Evanna Lynch, and Bonnie Wright all stepped out to welcome wizards and muggles alike to visit the film’s former sets and relics. Located outside of London, the tour allows fans to visit magical places from the film like Diagon Alley and Dumbledore’s office.

So, where was Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe?

The actor swapped his Potter spectacles for Allen Ginsberg’s! Earlier this month, Daniel was seen hard at work filming Kill Your Darlings, a biopic revolving around three famous American poets, in New York City. The film also stars indie starlet Elizabeth Olsen.

The love-hate relationship of blockbuster couple Ron and Hermoine played by Rubert and Emma came in at No. 1 as the Potter films raked in about 4.2 billion worldwide.

Who came in a very close second?

It’s the Twilight series love story between human Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen, played by none other than KStew and RPattz (as you know, they’re also an offscreen couple). This Saga has so far brought in $2.5 billion worldwide, but they still have another installment left to go. Part two of Breaking Dawn hits theaters in November 2012.

Which onscreen duo is your fave: Emma and Rupert, or Rob and Kristen? Defend your decision in the comments.

Other top earners include former Transformers costars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox (though she was replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) who grossed $1.5 billion, and Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst whose Spider-Man movie brought in $890 million.

To celebrate the release of the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II, on Blu-Ray and DVD, Celebuzz had the pleasure of heading down to Orlando, Florida this past weekend and got to catch up with a number of cast members at the epic theme park. The red carpet was rolled out (right through the streets of Hogsmeade, no less!) and a slew of stars from the film came out for one last hurrah.

From their first reactions to seeing the theme park, to offering words of wisdom for the Hunger Games cast, we chatted with Rupert Grint, Jason Isaacs (aka Lucious Malfoy), and many more!

See what else the crew had to say and check out the video above!

Don’t forget to pick up your copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II on Blu-Ray and DVD out now! And act fast, because shipments of all eight films stops on December 29th!

In the 48-minute documentary appropriately titled When Harry Left Hogwarts, filmmaker Morgan Matthews talks to the film’s stars: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson about their last few days shooting the epic. The three we’re excited (and a little nervous) for their futures, but were clearly nostalgic about their time at Hogwarts. Check out the trailer above, and be sure to grab a kleenex, it’s a tear jerker!

In the trailer, Harry himself feels that since everyone’s bond on the films will come to an end that they will have to re-establish their personal relationships without the flicks as a focal point. Besides her performance as Hermione Granger, Emma will definitely leave something behind:

“I feel part of my soul, my whole being will always be in this place [Hogwarts].”

The trio also fear that they won’t be able to break away from their famous roles. Rupert noted that the eight HP films have taken almost half of his entire life to complete! Emma also adds that she feels as if people are waiting for her to “screw up”. The 21-year-old is on the right track. She has a small role in the upcoming biopic My Week With Marilyn and she’ll be starring in The Perks of Being A Wallflower out next year.

Later, Grint partied it up with his friends at Chateau nightclub, and even donned a festive pair of red candle sunglasses to celebrate the momentous occasion. Whether the red color was chosen to accessorize with his hair is unknown, but Rupert seemed to be having a blast inside.

Grint’s birthday was actually a few weeks ago, as he turned 23 on August 24 — but hey, when you’re a Harry Potter star, you can have your birthday party whenever you please.

Up next professionally for Grint is some high-profile voice-over work in Britain, where he’ll be lending his pipes to the popular kids show Postman Pat.

Rupert has been enjoying his post-Potter life, keeping busy by visiting his co-stars and hanging out with his friends. Rupert was spotted trying to blend into the crowd at the V Festival in England this weekend, but its hard not to notice his trademark red locks! Check out those pics after the jump!

Rupert took some time at the V Festival to talk to the Press Association about his attempt to find his place in a world without Harry Potter.

 “It’s going to take a while to really sink in – it was quite a shock really. It all seemed to end quite suddenly but now the film’s out it is kind of closure and I’m excited to move on. It has kind of been this bubble – it’s like graduating I guess. We’ve all learned so much.”

Check out our gallery chronicling Rupert’s evolution over the years, and be sure to leave him a birthday wish in the comments below!

Perhaps Rupert was having an early b-day celebration as he turns 23 on Wednesday, Aug. 24!

Daniel Radcliffe gave an emotional goodbye speech, and afterwards you see him walk right over to Emma Watson and Rupert Grint and the three share a very teary group hug.

“I just want to say I love this place. This has been my life,” Dan says on set. “I don’t know what my day to day life consists of without you. All of you. I just want to say I’ve loved every minute and I thank you all very, very much for making that possible.”

“It’s been tough at times…but it’s never not been fun,” director David Yates states.

Anyone else get a little teary yourself watching the video? Makes us want to rush out and see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 again!

They clean up nice! So which Harry Potter hunk is your type?

Can you forget that Tom is Draco Malfoy? Or do you always go for the hero? Do you have ginger fever? Or is Neville, the unlikely heartthrob more your speed?

It’s time to vote! Which guy do you think is the hottest?

Celebuzz is taking a nostalgic look at the Potter stars, looking at Grint from 2001 — when the first Potter film came out — to the premiere of his newest (and final Potter) film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part 2. Click through our gallery to study the evolution of Rupert Grint, and let us know what you think in the comments section.

So what are the critics saying about the final magical film and its stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint? We’ve compiled the reviews from across the world to see if the last film lives up to all the hype.

Overall Story
“This outing not only doesn’t disappoint; it surpasses high expectations. This is a terrific, smartly designed adolescent adventure, visually rich, narratively satisfying, and bound to resonate for years to come.” — Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

The Action
“Keeping the audience so closely connected with Harry is a remarkable achievement, considering the intensity of the action that swirls around him: a roller-coaster ride down to the Gringotts vaults; a dragon-back ride back up; serpentine menace on a cosmic scale; wands sizzling, towers toppling; Hogwarts besieged, and aflame; and, in the shoot-out that will define humanity’s fate, not to mention Harry’s future.” — Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Performances
“Whoever cast Radcliffe, Watson and Grint deserves major credit for the success of the series; all three actors grew into their roles near-perfectly…. Deathly Hallows Part 2 sends Harry off into the pop culture pantheon on a thrilling high note.” — Tom Long, Detroit News

The End
“The final chapter ends with an epilogue that puts a lump in your throat and makes you want to watch them all again from the beginning. That’s the definition of a classic.” — Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

“It’s so detailed and mature that there’s really nothing left for us to do but put down our round spectacles and our wands and return to our far less fascinating Muggle existence.” — Nina Garin, San Diego Union-Tribune

]]> Seems like just yesterday when we first met the adorable and enchanting Harry Potter stars. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have all grown up right before our eyes.

Here at Celebuzz, we’re getting pretty nostalgic because Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which hits theaters today, will mark the franchise’s end. In an attempt to keep the magic alive, we decided to scour the web and find interviews the cast did back in 2001 for the first Potter film.

Things we learned: Daniel has an obsession with WWF wrestling, Emma Watson did her original audition in her school gym and the trio are actually pretty good at speaking Japanese. Watch the clips and be sure follow Celebuzz on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr for more Harry Potter news and photos.

When Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I came out last fall, some of the cast sat down with MTV’s Josh Horowitz and showed off their best American accents by saying some sacred American phrases and were even coaxed into admitting that “Twilight blows.”

Now, they’re back with round two and we’re happy to report it’s just as hilarious the second time around.

Watch Rupert Grint, Tom Felton and the suddenly-hot Matt Lewis get quizzed about American history, belt out “the most American of songs” Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA” and much more! (Got to love the Kardashian reference!)

While the world premiere in London last week brought out the tears in Emma Watson, the gang was all about celebrating tonight in NYC.

But the actor admits to MTV that the highly-anticipated kiss was “tricky” to pull off, and he’s “kind of erased it” from his memory. Say what?!

Rupert explains the two were such great friends that it was awkward trying to make the kiss look realistic between Grint’s Ron Weasley and Watson’s Hermione Granger.

“It was a tricky one, because it had to be believable. We had to look like we wanted to do it, when in reality we really didn’t. We were soaking [in the scene], and that kind of made it a little bit easier, I think, because it was kind of this outburst of adrenaline.”

Tonight, the cast will walk the red carpet at the New York premiere, and fans have been waiting outside the theater for days!

Last week, the cast debuted the final Harry Potter film in London.  Fans anxiously waited for the arrival of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert and Emma as well as the rest of the HP stars. Emma arrived wearing a floor-length puffball Oscar de la Renta gown, which made her look like a fairytale princess. But she couldn’t stop the tears from running down her face.

Emma addressed her costar Daniel before breaking down, saying, “You were and are the perfect Harry.” Upon hearing that, Daniel ran up and hugged Emma. “I will miss you so much,” she said in tears as she looked at the cast and crew of the Potter franchise. “Thank you so, so much. … You are the most wonderful fans in the world.”

To celebrate the end of the wildly successful movie franchise, Celebuzz compiled a gallery of the cast then and now­ and wow, they’ve all really changed over the years!

Rupert Grint, 22, and Tom Felton, 23, kicked off the magical night of festivities, as fans anxiously waited for the arrival of Daniel Radcliffe, 21, Emma Watson, 21, as well as the rest of the HP stars. Emma arrived wearing a floor-length puffball Oscar de la Renta gown, which made her look like a fairytale princess.

Over the weekend, Entertainment Weekly released a little behind-the-scenes clip from the long-awaited movie! In the clip, Harry,  Hermione and Ron sneak into Gringott’s bank to find one of the final Horcruxes that could potentially destroy Voldemort forever.

Deathly Hallows Part II hits theaters on July 15. Are you excited to see it? Sound off in the comments!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II, aka the final movie that will officially end the HP franchise, is set for release on July 15 and millions have been waiting with a mix of dread and excitement.

If you’re more on the excited side, you’re in luck!

You can watch the premiere LIVE!

Check out a livestream of the London premiere above! That’s right, you get to see the holy trinity aka Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint as well as the rest of your fave HP stars walk one of their final red carpets together!

Enjoy it while you can, folks!

“For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton,” Emma tells the magazine. “He was my first crush. He totally knows. We talked about it – we still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that’s cool.”

Granted, Emma was just 9-years-old when she first laid eyes on Draco Malfoy, so she and Tom can laugh about her schoolgirl crush now that they are all grown up.

If Emma had a crush on Tom these days she would likely let him know it straight to his face.

“I’m a terrible game player,” Emma tells the magazine. “I’m so impatient – it’s one of my worst traits! If I want to see someone, I want to see them, and if I don’t, then I don’t. My friends are always telling me I have to play hard to get because I’ll pretty much say to a guy, ‘I like you – let’s go hang out’.”

“It’s a nightmare,” Emma continues. “I definitely haven’t figured out [how to play hard-to-get] yet.”

To be fair, it isn’t as if Emma is without male suitors. The 21-year-old has dated wealthy British playboy Jay Barrymore, Made in Chelsea reality star Francis Boulle and One Night Only rocker George Craig. Emma even made a music video with George for his band’s single “Say You Don’t Want It,” which featured the actress wandering around Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood.

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, along with his co-stars and on-screen brothers Oliver and James Phelps, were seen at a photocall in Madrid, Spain on Monday afternoon. Each of the boys were sporting different looks, but looked equally as dashing.

Rupert kept things casual in a t-shirt with Guns’N'Roses rocker Axl Rose on it, while the twin brothers were each sporting collared shirts.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II, the final installment of the mega-franchise, hits theaters on July 15. Check out the trailer below.
