"After being in Harry Potter, I believe a bit more in magic than I did before"
About this Quote
The subtext is about what massive franchises do to identity. Grint isn’t claiming Hogwarts exists; he’s admitting that years of living inside a story can rewire your sense of possibility. The “magic” here is the practical kind: stagecraft, set design, a crew making impossible things look effortless, and the strangely intimate bond that forms when millions of strangers project meaning onto your work. His phrasing lets “magic” remain ambiguous on purpose, roomy enough to include both movie effects and the emotional alchemy of growing up on screen.
Context does the heavy lifting. Grint entered Potter as a kid and emerged as a global symbol of a character. For actors, that can be a career trap; for audiences, it’s a myth-making machine. By saying he believes “a bit more,” he’s signaling gratitude without surrendering his adulthood. It’s a neat piece of cultural diplomacy: affirm the enchantment, keep your feet on the ground, and let the public keep theirs in the air.
