I'm not sure where Emma lives, but Dan lives in London and Rupert
lives north of London outside the motorway (M25) that encircles
London's metropolitan area. In terms of actually miles that's not that
far away, but in terms of London's traffic, it's probably a long drive
into the city. In addition, in his new home town, I'm sure Rupert has
his own circle of friends that he hangs out with.

Now couple that with the fact that when they are on the movie set they
are either working or in school. So, this is a job not play time or a
party. There are lines to learn, scenes to play, plus school subjects
that must be mastered, and a job that must be done. I'm sure they have
a great time while they are there, but at the same time, they get
there early and leave late and I'm sure they are exhausted at the end
of the day. Goblet of Fire was probably a pretty grueling movie to
shoot, give all the action, the underwater scenes, etc....
 
So, just like us, when we leave our job at the end of the day, we go
back to our own private lives. While we would like to picture them
hanging out together going to concerts, cafes, and shopping centers,
they do have their own individual separate lives.

On a tangental note, I do agree with others that Ron/Rupert's part in
the movies has been completely distorted. Other promenent actor who
have worked with the group have said that Rupert probably has the best
chance of a long term career in acting, especially in the area of
comedy. So I think Rupert is just as if not more capable of carrying
the lines and scenes that were given to Super!Hermione. 

Just a few thoughts.
