Ron Weasley actor Rupert Grint has said Harry Potter was, "quite suffocating," at times.
He made the revelation during a chat with Dax Shepard on his podcast Armchair Expert.

The actor said, "There was a time where it felt quite suffocating, because it was heavy going."
He pointed out, "it was every day for 10 years in the end."
But this doesn't take away from the fact that, "It was a great experience."
"Such a nice kind of family atmosphere," Grint recalled.
"It was always the same crew we kind of grew up with, so it was a great place to be."
"But sometimes it definitely felt like, 'I want to do something else. See what else is out there.'"

Grint agreed with Dax when he said it must have felt like homework after a while.
The 32-year-old explained, "It just never ended. Every year, we came back."
"And it was kind of like Groundhog Day because it was the same sets."
"It was the same people. But it was great. I loved it," he said.
Grint revealed he's only seen each movie once, and he recently watched the first movie again for the second time.
"It still feels too soon really. I can't detach myself fully. I can't face it."
He explained, "It wasn't like it was a bad experience."
"It made me so conscious of my face of, like, what I'm doing..."
"I like being in the moment and creating it and then just leaving it."
