The friendship inHarry Potteris the series’ most fundamental foundation. The basic bond between characters like Emma Watson’s Hermione, Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry, and Rupert Grint’s Ron allows viewers to relate to and love them in spite of their unrealistic stories and tempting magic. We can truly see how strong their bond was right from the start withHarry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone(2001).
Not to be overlooked, the chemistry between Radcliffe and Grint—who took on these roles from an early age—was another major factor in the franchise’s success. However, it seems that the dynamic of their friendship on-screen may have been irreversibly altered by a violently removed scene inHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1(2010).
After chasing a rabbit through the forest, Harry and Ron make joking attempts to attack each other in that scene. Tension built as Grint actually hit Radcliffe.

Things Became Tense When Rupert Grint’s Ron Hit Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter
There was definitely too little humor inHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. This made sense because all of our main characters were facing some very serious issues that had reached a breaking point. For example, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were essentially running as they pursued to figure out how to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes. Meanwhile, in a violently removed scene, we witnessed an intriguing combination of tension and despair (viaYouTube).
It began with Harry and Ron trying, with utter incompetence, to use their magic wands to catch a rabbit. Following the rabbit’s escape, the two chased, casting spells at each other with their wands. It appeared to be a return to their old antics, but things were cut short when Ron came dangerously close to injuring Harry.
David Yates directed the 2010 $977.1 million filmHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1,based on a screenplay by Steve Kloves. It is the seventh installment in theHarry Potterfilm series and the follow-up toHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Fans’ Reaction: Has the Deleted Scene Affected Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint’s On-Screen Friendship?
It makes sense to think that the intense nature of the deleted scene could have affectedDaniel RadcliffeandRupert Grint‘s on-screen friendship. Had this challenging sequence been included in the final cut, it most likely would have allowed for a more nuanced and complex dynamic bond between Harry and Ron.
Fans even held similar beliefs. Let us take a look at some of theYouTubecomments left by fans on the post. One noted:
“Damn! Ron tried to hit Harry! OMG!”
Another expressed this belief:
“Ithink it was after the horcrux issue but this is where they made up as friends.”
One shared:
“This was just sort of awkward to watch.”
A fan had some diverse thoughts and thus, explained as follows:
“I first thought this is a ‘behind the scenes’. the acting is just cringe. the idea is good but would totally not match in the movies, it would have been way too dark and they could never having a good friendship again.”
Another asked:
“Temptation on the warfront anyone?”
Still, the endearing friendship between Harry and Ron lives on in the hearts of fans, even in the absence of this dramatic scene.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1became the third-highest-grossing movie of 2010, with a total box office receipt of $977 million. Numerous honors were offered to the film, including nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Art Direction at the Academy Awards.
