Confessions of Harry PufferWe're typical teenagers ... stars Rupert Grint, left, Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe yesterday | ||
and THOMAS WHITAKER June 26, 2007 THE teenage stars of the Harry Potter films yesterday shattered their clean-cut image — and confessed to enjoying booze and fags. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have maintained an impression of well-behaved innocence for the last seven years. But Emma, 17 — goody two-shoes Hermione Granger in the films — has confessed she has smoked and enjoys a drink. She said: "You are careful not to do it in the public eye. "You have your first cigarette or first glass of alcohol in a safe environment with your close friends — or you choose to do it in a nightclub in the middle of London." Rupert, 18, who plays the slightly socially inept Ron Weasley, said: "Because we are quite busy we do miss out, but getting drunk for the first time, we still have those kind of experiences." Daniel, 17, who plays Harry, vowed he won't go off the rails, but admitted: "It doesn't stop us from having a party once in a while. "Parties are fine and fun, but what I enjoy are the acting and the work." Daniel also revealed he has NO IDEA what happens in the seventh and final Harry Potter novel — but said he'd ordered a copy online. Producers, meanwhile, are still looking for two actors to join cast for the sixth film, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. There are open casting calls at London's Earls Court for the roles of Lavender Brown (July 1) and the young Tom Riddle (July 8). At the previous cast searches women in their 40s turned up for the part of schoolgirl Luna Lovegood — Evanna Lynch — and some Scandinavians tried out for the role of Asian student Cho. | ||
