Some of the greatest moments in the Harry Potter films come from unscripted moments, many involving Rupert Grint -- Namely Ron's love potion scene.
The Big Picture There are a handful of moments throughout the Harry Potter film series that were not scripted. This was either because the actors forgot their lines or because they were encouraged by the directors to improvise a scene in a variety of ways.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Release Date July 15, 2009 Director David Yates Cast Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Michael Gambon, Dave Legeno, Elarica Johnson Rating PG Genres Action, Adventure, Fantasy Ron Weasley And Rupert Grint Are One And The Same Ron Weasley always sufficed when it came to providing comedic relief even if his personality suffered for it.
This makes the truth behind this scene from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince even funnier, and it makes us wonder how on earth Radcliffe and Jim Broadbent were able to keep it together during this moment. It is the scene where Ron eats an entire box of chocolates laced with a potent love potion, which turns him bemused and starry-eyed. Ron sits by the window in his dormitory in a ridiculous singlet with a thoughtless and mystified expression on his face.
This Unscripted Moment Was Not Unlike Ron Weasley At All The scene is already hilariously awkward. But while Slughorn mixes up an antidote, Ron goes to take a seat on the sofa. He sits down on the back of it, and then he falls right off it, landing with a loud thud and disappearing from view while Harry and Slughorn look over in surprise, and the loud thump that he makes when he hits the floor causes Daniel and Jim to stop and look over during their dialogue.
Rupert Grint Got The Chance To Portray A New Side To Ron It was great to see Rupert play Ron this way because, during Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix, there wasn’t much else to Ron’s character except for a few mood swings. Other than that he was just a supportive friend for Harry and useful for a bit of comedic relief. But in the Harry Potter books Ron is very multidimensional, and to see Rupert get to bring alive that goofier side to Ron was great.
