November 20th, 2009, 5:29 PM–Earlier this year we reported that Rupert Grint and his Harry Potter co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson recorded segments to feature in this year’s BBC’s Children In Need fundraiser. We can now happily announce that this indeed took place and clips from the event have now available online! Rupert gives a very sweet commentary about this important cause and you may view the video on youtube or directly from the website by clicking here. The mission is to make a positive change to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK. In 2008 the BBC Children in Need Appeal raised over £38 million and for every penny given to the charity, a penny went towards projects helping disadvantaged children in the UK. We are happy Rupert took part in this great cause so enjoy and donate if you possibly can! We have some more updates coming soon so stay tuned for that.
November 17th, 2009, 9:18 AM– As the release of the DVD of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is near, we now have yet another clip of Rupert Grint to share with you!
