Despite being the best of friends in the fictional Harry Potter film series, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint have surprised the entire nation by recently admitting that THEY ARE NOT PARTICULARLY GOOD FRIENDS IN REAL LIFE. Shocking.

As if the news that the two bestest buddies ever (except for manybe Butch and Sundance or Turner and Hooch) weren't real pals wasn't bad enough, it seems that Rupert Grint cares so little about their relationship he neither confirmed nor denied it after Daniel revealed the horrible truth to the Daily Mirror:

“There’s this idea that Emma, Rupert and myself are the best of friends who always hang out together.

“I’m just going to put out there, Emma and I text all the time but Rupert and I never text each other, we never see each other.

“If I see him every six months or so, it’s a friendly ‘hello, how’s things with you’ but that’s about it.”

That's exactly right, readers. Not only have Daniel and Rupert been driven away from each other to the extent they no longer call themselves Harry and Ron, but Emma Watson, a girl who learnt magic at the expense of her social skills HAS NOW BECOME THE NEW RON! What's next? Cats sleeping with dogs? Marmite and goat's cheese sandwiches? A woman president?

Remember guys and girls, make sure to cry straight into your mouths, and you won't get too dehydrated by the crying marathon you surely have ahead of you.
