As Harry Potter's best friend and right-hand man, Ron Weasley has been embroiled in all of the Hogwarts intrigues, even if he's occasionally had to sit on the sidelines. The man behind the mate, 18-year-old Rupert Grint, spoke to us about the newest film in the franchise, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, his new director David Yates, and why he doesn't mind being left out of Quidditch matches.

PREMIERE.COM: We know that Harry faces death at every turn — what's in store for Ron this time around?
RUPERT GRINT: That's true. Ron doesn't really have to deal with all the big stuff like Voldemort, and he doesn't really see much of that. But he's Harry's best mate, and in the last film, [they] fell out a bit. This time they're much more together and more of a team.

As for Ron and Hermione, do they finally get together in this film?
A lot of people have been sort of saying stuff like that. But not in this one, no. There's a few [scenes] in some of the films that suggest there's going to be something in the future, but I don't know. We have to wait and see the seventh.

There's a new director, a kind of a new beginning in a way. What was it like to work with David Yates compared to other directors who worked on the series like Mike Newell and Alfonso Cuarón?
David's wicked. He's much more sort of laid back than Mike Newell. [Newell] was crazy sometimes and would swear at you if you did it wrong and he was really loud, [though] he was a really nice guy when you got to really know him. David's really cool, he leaves it to you to do quite a lot of it.
