Rupert Grint has revealed that he wishes he could wear an ‘invisibility cloak’ when he attends music festivals.

The actor who played the role of Ron Weasley in the famous Harry Potter films, joked in an interview that he would like to take advantage of some of the accessories from the wizarding world.

Talking to Independent Radar magazine, he explained how he’d like to be able to avoid being recognised and mobbed in public.

"I've sometimes has a bit of trouble at music festivals. It's usually fine, but if you're in a massive crowd of drunken people and one of them suddenly spots you, it gets hard to move around.”

He continued to say: "Sometimes you want a bit of invisibility. Perhaps I should wear an invisibility cloak - that would be handy! But I have actually experimented with disguises.”

He also spoke about how fans greet him with his trademark lines from the Harry Potter films.

"'Bloody hell, Harry!' is something people say a lot! The attention has never bothered me too much. It's part of it and I'm used to it. It's quite manageable.”
