“33 years done. Good Lord, it’s been so much fun getting here - yet, somehow, I still feel the best is yet to come.
Thank you all for your love, support and sense of humour. Let’s keep a good thing going to the next 33.”
Suffocating
Rupert Grint, who played Potter's best friend Ron Wesley in the film, previously said that featuring on the show was suffocating.

However, he was grateful for the Harry Potter cast, saying they were like family to him.
“The movies take a year to shoot. But, I mean, it was a great experience and such a nice kind of family atmosphere. It was always kind of all the same crew we grew up with.
“It just never ended. Every year we came back to the same sets, same people,” the star said.
