The flame-haired actor, who plays wizard Ron Weasley in the long-running series based on the novels of J. K. Rowling, was confused when he worked on British projects Cherrybomb and Wild Target because he had been used to big budget environments.

“It was quite an adjustment going from Harry Potter to doing the low-budget films. It threw me a little — it’s just such a different way of making a film,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Grint as telling Total Film magazine.

“But I prefer the pace of low budgets because it’s much more in the moment,” added Grint.
