Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows director, David Yates has described Harry Potter star Rupert Grint as the ‘coolest person’ he has ever met.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times the director of the final four Potter films, said: "Rupert Grint, ever since I've known him, has probably been the coolest person I've ever met in my life.

"He has a hovercraft [and] an ice cream van. He's really laid back, but quietly quite smart."

Yates also had positive things to say about Grint's co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.

He added: "Daniel is a bit of a workaholic, he loves work, but he's [also] a very decent, curious, funny, lovely young man.

"Emma is a little like Hermione. She's very tough on herself. She's incredibly bright."

The final Harry Potter film, which was released this weekend, has reportedly already broken first-day box office records.
