Rupert Grint just wants to be driving his ice-cream van around.

It’s almost been five years since the Harry Potter film franchise wrapped up (never forget: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Pt. II, Event Cinemas Pacific Fair, 13/07/2011), and the lives — and jawlines — of the cast look a lot different these days. Emma Watson is somewhat ruling the United Nations, Robert Patterson became another franchise, Jamie Waylett (Vincent Crabbe) did a bunch of jail time and Daniel Radcliffe recently starred in a film as a farting waterlogged corpse with a constant erection.

But Rupert Grint and Matthew Lewis — the actors who played Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom — are still as diligently devoted to the HP fanbase as ever. Early this morning, as part of a press tour for this weekend’s Celebration Of Harry Potter exhibition at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, Grint and Lewis held a live Facebook Q&A, where they tried to answer questions from fans through relentless fits of extremely British giggles.

Some questions led to some very interesting revelations, such as the real life dream of Grint’s to just operate an ice-cream van (which he does actually own and drive around) instead of act. Some led to totally bland information that is somehow still better than nothing, like learning Lewis’ favourite colour is blue. Whatever the answers were, I think it’s safe to say the session was completely eclipsed by Lewis’ magnificent moustache. Who would have thought Longbottom would grow up to be so trendy?

Matthew Lewis & Rupert Grint are live now! #AskHPCast #HPCelebration

If anyone needs me I’ll be locked in my room watching this video over and over again while wearing my overpriced Gryffindor merchandise forever.
