Rave Reviews and New Scans!

» October 3 by Tao in Gallery, Rave Reviews, Site News with 125 Comments

I have taken the time to redo one of the best sections on ICM called “Rave Reviews.” Those familiar with the site know of the section, but we have had a lot of new people, and we wanted to share that section, featuring all of Rupert Grint’s best critic reviews for each movie, with them and give a new layout to those who have seen it. The new layout now involves wordpress so updates will be known there and you can comment on that section when new reviews are posted. You can view that here.

Also we have scans from a magazine called “Pretty Girl” that was released recently. The scans contain no new pictures. I am unsure of at this time whether any of it contains any new information. So anyone who can translate, please let us know! You may view those scans here.

UPDATE: More Rupert/Ron Buzz! There isn’t any new information but the Dailystar.co.uk posted a little tidbit about The Half Blood Prince movie with “Ron Weasley” in it’s headline! Again it just shows you how much the media is noticing Rupert this time around! Finally right? You can check it out here!

And here’s some more HBP buzz (courtesy of DailyMail Online), with already familiar but nevertheless gorgeous photos of Rupert/Ron here!

  1. Just love love love Rave Reviews. My most fave spot on the site! Also Pretty Girl is cool but are these people too lazy to use a recent picture of Rupert. I mean seriously I feel like writing them asking why they used such an old picture for their cover!

  2. I know, right? I’m all, “This is 2008 and they use a picture that is 4 years old?” Well, at least he was on the cover, and it’s a step in the right direction, at least.

  3. Maybe they used pictures of him when he was a teenybopper since its a teen aimed magazine? I dunno hehe. I thought this little south park style people were cute tho!

  4. I will never, NEVER get tired of reading the rave reviews. *gushes*

    You know what else would be great? A section with all of the nice, complimentary things people have said about Rupert as a person.

  5. I love the new rave reviews layout girls! no major new info from the interview as far as I can understand, and yeah they could use with soem recent pics, those are PoA era!

  6. Laura we have that already but it is under QUOTES!

  7. The rave reviews section looks great. This site is chock full of Rupert goodness! I’m a bit new here, so I hope I don’t step on any toes by asking this. But does the Leaky Cauldron website have something against Rupert and his projects. I was listening to Pottercast and they were mentioning the current news for the cast. They mentioned Emmas plans on going to University, Dan in Equus, but seemed to spend all of 2 milliseconds on Wild Target news. They even seemed to spend more time talking about Tom Felton in a reality show! If this has been addressed before, I apologize, I lurk, but still am pretty new here!

  8. I love this.

    “…The chant rose fast and furious “Rupert, Rupert, Rupert!” Rupert turned to the crowd, then turned to us with a shrug, with bewildered dismay, with a touch of chagrin. Why would anyone chant for him? He was just another kid who would rather be in his basement with his buddies and a root beer having fun. What was the fuss? Not that he doesn’t want attention, but he wants to earn it. Rupert is happy to meet you, but it would have to be as equals. As a person.”

  9. The Rave Reviews looks awesome!! Great job! I love the Rupert picture used which is one of my top 3 favourites. That’s the only problem I have with the main site. Except for the first picture used I don’t really love any of the other pictures used (Rupert always pretty much looks great but other than the first one they are not in my faves list).

  10. Hi Aquarian! Welcome to the site. :) You won’t step on any toes, because most of us here have a problem with the majority of HP sites as they do not spend time on Rupert, though his fanbase is just as big as Dan and Emma’s! And he’s doing a lot of projects outside of the franchise, the two newest ones getting a lot of buzz. *sigh* What can you do?

  11. Aquarian I was going to follow up with Tao and she is nice about it but I’m pretty blunt. Those HP sites can stick where the sun don’t shine. Tooo bad for them because while they sit and talk about mediocre acting and fashion show news we have something interesting to say about somebody with some real talent. Yep I’m being mean again…..sorry. :)

    Thanks for all the comments on the Rave reviews, glad you guys like them!

  12. *cleaning gun*
    So, how’s the battle coming along? :)

  13. Boo. They aren’t letting you comment on the new Ron article. :P There is another one though, but it focuses mainly on Harry Potter as a whole and the delay of HBP. But there are plenty of Ron/Rupert pictures. I should post that one too…

  14. I need that Trailer! And I watched the Driving Lessons trailer for America and it was hilarious! It just makes me wonder what the trailer for CherryBomb will be like…. Can’t Wait!!! Did ya’ll all freak out when The trailer for driving lessons came out? I bet ya’ll did. lol

    :D

  15. I didn’t because I didn’t know he existed back then :( WAAAAAAAH!

  16. I remember being excited. :D Of course, we probably won’t get a trailer any time soon. We’re probably in for more pictures and clips though. Via MTV and any festivals it goes to. *fingers crossed*

  17. At first I was like, why did they go messing with the rave reviews, I liked it the way it was. But, of course, I like it that way too…..

    I like that you used the new Malachy pic on the front.

    Just look at the Wild Target page, there’s a slight error there….

  18. Dang, I know ya’ll said old, but I didn’t know it was PoA old. Before Rupert wore his hair long old….

  19. Hah! I always have errors. That doesn’t surprise me. :P It’s unimportant, I suppose. It’s just a place holder right now.

  20. No worries, not a biggie.

    Night all, headache. Letter writing for me this weekend I suppose, right?

  21. Oh before I do go to sleep….

    I <3 ICM, and Rupert, and Ron, and Alan, and Molesworth, and Peter Pan, and Ben and Malachy and Tony and imaginary Ponies and, etc…….

  22. *from the previous comments*

    Thanks Bilius. I guess I was rushing, it was 5:30 am and I was trying to get ready for work. A definite oversite, cause there is NO WAY Lard*ss wouldn’t make THAT list…..

  23. Huh what error?? I don’t like errors! Oh my God I leave tomorrow for the show!!!!!!!

  24. guys, can you do me a favor.

    can someone post here the URL for the cherrybomb pic of “Malachy” in that hot black suit of his..

    pls..pls.. im begging.. can find it anywhere in photobuket..

  25. It’s in the gallery. Under promotional images.

  26. I swear, Pretty Girl needs to quit. As many new pics of Rupert there are, they can’t use a more recent one of him. It maybe a tenny bopper mag but still.

    The rave reviews sectin is awesome isn’t it?

  27. I have to admit until this post I had sought out the Rave Reviews. So cool and love the layout. Love that picture of him. I read the TP reviews and glad he got so many postive reviews. Why though the same reviewers forget that he’s done work other than HP? LOL I keep thinking of the future and some award show does a montage of his old films and up pops Alan with his goofy teeth and permed hair. Very much like GF did with him.

    Jo have fun and you’ve got VIP tickets right? Party up girl!

  28. Oops. Meant to say I hadn’t sought out.

    See…this makes me even prouder of Rupert !!! I am with him all the way and I will defend him with claws and teeth.

  30. Just checking out CB My Space. Who suggested Amy MacDonald? I love her. Just surprised, no one I know has heard of her. lol

  31. hi guys, just checked on google translator to see what language those magazine scans were in, and figured out they were in italian. i’d suggest asking an italian hp site (like portkey.it, which is the only italian site i can think of) for an english translation or something. i kind of want to know if rupert said anything new there (and whether or not it’s an old interview).

  32. b, italian is quite close to portuguese (my language) , so i can tell you there’s no major new info in that interview although obviously it would be good to get a translation ’cause I can’t say 100% of it is old news either…

  33. Well, I am attempting it at the moment and I finished the first page .

  34. DAYUM it’s quiet in here. *lolz*

  35. Well Laura, that’s because everybody is in Rupert’s bedroom having a pillow fight with him.

  36. How in the hell did I miss that? lol

  37. Well, what are you waitin for Suzeeq? Grab a pillow and come on!!! Oh and wear just your underthings. Rupert says we gotta go in your underthings. Tehe! :D

  38. he is not in anything right! just us!

  39. since nothing new. found some new pics of bill & emily on her website, nothing of rupert. DAMN! NICE DRESS/UGLY SHOES.

    i have a question? If you can have a photoshoot. what would you make him wear?

  40. yweasley: Well, if I had him do a photoshoot, I’d make him wearing nothing. And he’s gonna not wear anything if I have anything to do with it. Tehe!!!

  41. RED SATIN SHEETS

    BUBBLEBATH
    MOONLIGHT
    TWEED JACKET/HUNTING OUTFIT./ PAGEBOY HAT/ SHINY BLACK BOOTS.

  42. Damn I was really hoping for some news/new pics. i’ve had a horrible night.

  43. damn
    I’ve been ill these five last days and was hoping for some juicy effin’ news. it sucks.
    RUPERT WHERE ARE YOU GODDAMIT

    ..

    *goes news hunting*

  44. Rupert where are you??? oh that’s right *joins pillow fight in Rupert’s bedroom*

  45. *knocks on the door leading to the room of the pillow fight, spit’s a feather out of her mouth*

    Excuse me, if you could put your pillow’s down and read what I said over at imdb. Don’t worry, it’s not bad…..plzthnx

  46. Oh I forgot, am I the only one who’s imagined Luke and Malachy having a straight up catfight?

    Like Luke grabbing Malachy by the top of his quiff and Malachy grabbing Luke by his curls and both of them just straight going at it (a fight of course. Can’t image what the pervs would make of this…)

    So, I’m the only one????

  47. I’m back from New Kids!!!!! Whoa no Rupert news, that’s gotta change real fast man!

  48. wow things are so quiet in here! We need news!

  49. We do need news bad!

  50. Goddamit Jo work your magic and give us news!!! *lolz*

    Did you have a great time btw? :D

  51. What the heck is goin’ on here? I see no dang news! :(

  52. How can you put pictures up on this site?

  53. [IMG]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r166/kori901/Bigger-1.jpg[/IMG]

    just wonderin

  54. instead of IMG in uppercase, type it in lower case and you should be good to go.

  55. YES it was amazing, I got to meet and hang out with all the guys and still have more shows tooooo come. sooooooo excited.

  56. I want news, too!

  57. [img]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r166/kori901/11112.jpg[/img]

    I tried to make a movie poster when I had that whole movie idea in my head.

    and this one is when i was makinf r/e pics.

    [img]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r166/kori901/Bigger-1.jpg[/img]

  58. How is everyone? Man, we got so spoiled there for awhile that these two or three day news droughts are murder now.

    I’ve been really busy past few days, so I didn’t get a chance to comment, but that FierceQuidditch! Ron picture is the the Quidditch picture of him I have been waiting for! Sooo gorgeous and so confident! He’s actually rocking the helmet there.

  59. We’ll have some news soon. We’d had better anyway. I told Rupe while having the pillow fight to hook us up pronto or else.

  60. Did you guys notice in the latest batch of calendar scans that pic of Lavender crying? Aw! I actually almost felt bad for her.

    Lavender crying, Hermione holding the newspaper looking all sad…

    Ron’s just breaking Hogwarts hearts left and right.

  61. I noticed that, about Lavender, when I saw them….

  62. You go Ron! Break those hearts!

  63. Well, as long as we get loads of Ron scenes… *grins*

  64. Still one of my favorite Rupert looks.
    [img]http://i35.tinypic.com/2mwihx3.jpg[/img]

    *drulz*

    But nothing beats his scruffy WT look.
    I hope that Rupert will keep the facial hair for awhile after WT is done. Seriously, he owns it.

  65. AJ — tell Chocolate Heron that film rights to ‘Water for Elephants’ has been bought by Fox 2000, producing by Andrew R. Tennenbaum for Flashpoint Studios, directing by Lawrence Francis and would be a PERFECT vehicle for Rupert Grint. I plan on writing to suggest him to all of the above. :)

  66. Ok, I’ll cut and past what you said…Bilius

    I guess it’s another book I’ll be reading….

    *recalls reading and watching Being There just because of what Cauron said*

  67. Oooh I love that hot shot of him in black!!!!!!!!!!

  68. I don’t care how many times I’ve already said it. He needs to wear long sleeved clothes more!!

  69. I’ve always thought he was wearing brown in that interview.

  70. With the WT and CB photos, I’ve decided I really like Rupert’s hair a bit shorter. The picture Laura posted above is great, and that’s about as long as I’d like to see his hair. I don’t like his hair at all when it’s hanging in his eyes.

    Just MHO, of course. I totally agree about long-sleeved shirts/sweaters, though, that one looks fantastic on him!

  71. Hi folks I’m back, been celebrating my marriage anniversary! Yay!!!

    Lol Quotidias I agree he looks great with shorter hair, but I was kinda hoping that he would grow his hair really long for DH. I mean Ron is supposed to have long hair in DH, you know when Aunt Muriel mentions that his hair is almost as long as Ginny’s.

    JO my love, please open your Inbox, you might find some sendspace download links there!!! *cough NKOTB on Al Murray cough*

  72. I need rupey news :(

    If I never hear the word “quiff” again I’ll die a happy girl! Ugh the word just makes me wanna vomit for some reason :-P

    Where are the crying lavender pictures?

  73. NKOTB!!!!!!!!!! WE WILL ROCK YOU! I love you ivana. I’m still on a high from the show and meeting them last night!

  74. anyway i will see what I can get updates on with mr. rupes. he’s very very missed right now!

  75. Mine is tomorrow, Ivana. Congrats….

  76. Thanks AJ! Congrats to you too! Can’t believe my poor hubby’s been putting up with me for the past five years, and he still hasn’t had enough!

  77. Jo you might need to download Quick Time if you don’t already have it. Dunno if Windows Media Player can play .mov files. Anyway Quick Time is loads better, and it’s free.

  78. I have no problem with Rupert’s hair being long for DH since it would fit with what’s happening in the movie. I was thinking more about how he wears it when he’s not filming. The pictures from CB and WT, and even HBP show to me that he looks better when his hair’s shorter. It got overly-shaggy on a couple of occasions after filming was over and I just didn’t think it suited him very well. And then there’s GoF. Didn’t Rupert himself say that he hated his hair in GoF?

  79. OotP and DL is on cable now. If I wanted to, I could drown myself in RG goodness, but I have them both on DVD, so it’s not a pressing thing, …..hehehehe.

    Don’t you hate it when you go shopping for clothes and as you flip through the rack the and it goes 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 16, 18 and you’re like WTF, where is MY size!!!

    I had to buy some pants that were slightly too tight, because my size was gone and the next size up was slightly too big and I wanted the pants to match the vest. Sugar, honey, ice, tea!!!!

    Sorry about the rant, but got dern it!!!!

  80. Yeah he did, lol! But I actually liked his GoF hair, it totally suited the GoF Ron. Actually I just watched GoF a couple of hours ago, it was on ITV 1!!
    We should start a new forum thread and discuss Rupert’s hairdos. :)

  81. Well Ivana, another HP/Ron/Rupert/R/Hr fan got married yesterday. Mine will be 7 years (dang, that makes me feel like I’m old or something…), he’s tried to give me back to my mother, but she said, nope, she’s your’s now.

  82. I like Rupert’s hair long and short, just as long at it has shape and layering.

    I liked his GoF hair, but they did let it go a bit shapeless and it pretty much grew into one length, but one of my favorite parts of the movie is when Snape turns his head around and he then moves his hair from out of his eyes. *guh*

  83. Evening everyone :) I absolutely LOVED the GOF hair on Rupert, it seemed to have so much body. He’d be perfect for a Pantene commercial! I’ ve never understood why guys seem to have the best natural hair when I have to perm, flat iron, roll, body wrap, and everything else just to get mine to look decent!!

    I too have been wondering on what his and Dan’s look will be in DH. Especially when they will be ‘roughing’ it in the wilderness.

  84. Oh Ivana I’m watching it now! SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!

  85. aquarian,

    I’ve said the EXACT same thing, about guys hair. They have better hair, eyelashes, and handwriting…..*blows rasberries*

  86. I hope they rough it. Rupert can continue to get his manly bulk up on for DH as well….

  87. I don’t care what he does with his hair, I mean every look he has had I’ve liked but I am interested to see if he will start wear it more to the side! looks good either way though.

  88. Always there to make my friends happy Jo!!!
    Too bad ITV cropped Step By Step, blah. But still they provided fans with enough squeeeing material. :)

  89. Is the podcast in the media section. I was just listening to one and I wanted to listen to the one here again?

  90. Dude Step by Step was one of their biggest hit’s, shame they cut it out! It is cool that New Kids were on Al Murray because most of my friends have no clue who he is but since i’m a rupert fan i know all about him lol.

  91. AJ I probably have it save somewhere, just need to find where!

  92. New Kids will be performing in Manchester on 16 January, I’m expecting them to sell out MEN Arena, although they can’t beat our homegrown legendary Mancunian boyband aka Take That!
    I bet NKOTB reunion caused the same mayhem in the U.S. as the Thatters reunion did here in the U.K! Women went MAD!!!

  93. I remember Take That.

  94. Girls, where is Rupert??

    We had election day here in Brazil and to vote is compulsory for everybody over 18 years old.So I was out almost the day…voting!

    Jo, I´m glad that you liked the show. I sent you an email last Friday, if you could read it , dear!

    I have a photo that Oclumência posted some hours ago from the mini calendar, nothing new but it´s in MQ now:

  97. I still didin´t get this Ron/Rupert with green eyes! :(

  98. It says Fez, so all I can think of is Fez from That 70′s show…

  99. “Fez” in Portuguese means “did it”, so this is the answer for many questions you want to ask Ron: “Yes, AJ, I did it! ” :D

  100. *giggles*

    And learned something new at the same time….

  101. Oh Ivana I love Robbie Williams but not really Take That without him but I know Take That is pretty big over there. New Kids shows are selling out but the good news is that the guys are the same no matter how big they get. Really humble down to earth people much like Rupert so see I’m a lucky fan in even the music I like!

    OH and LILLY thanks for the larger image!!!!

  102. Glad to hear that they’re just regular blokes. I remember what you told us about Jon suffering from social anxiety and how he copes, it’s amazing. Oh and Joe McIntyre looks heavenly. In fact they’re all hot as hell. I’ve never been much of a NKOTB fan, but hey, a healthy young woman such as me can appreciate male hotness when she sees it. ;)

  103. Ahh Joey, he is the biggest flirt of the group. Last night a girl at our table asked him if he would give his belt to her. He starts unbuckling his belt in front of us all and we all had a little heart attack, he likes to tease though. He stopped and redid his belt and we were all like DAMN YOU!!!!!!!

  104. Ivana I agree… Joe is hotter than ever!

  105. This is how close I was, well I was right at the front, but I took this of him.

  106. Girls, ICM was credited on another Brazilian site, Potterish, one of the JKR´s top sites ! :D
    Here:

    http://arquivo.potterish.com/?p=9645

  107. Oops, am I on the wrong site?
    Kidding! :D

  108. Lilly what are you talking about?????? And where are we credited? Huh?

  109. I think they credited the site because it looks like they have that interview from the German DL dvd that was translated here.

    I think that’s what is going on….

  110. Here’s some Rupert love. Oh i love this one Laura did.

    Photobucket

  111. When I was in middle school, my favorite was Donnie.

    I recall in highschool I loaned this girl some of my NKOTB books, that hefer never gave them back and I called her and called her…

    That’s why here behind was 20 years old and in highschool. I know it’s wrong of me, but I’m lying…..

  112. I love it too!!!!!

    *screams*

    MALACHY!!!!!!

  113. I’m NOT lying…..her old a** in highschool…..

    Normally, I wouldn’t be so ignorant, but I was fierce with her back then….

  114. Well JO, the post is in Portuguese, is from that interview at Taxi magazine, that one with the camera man interrupting him all the time.
    They are crediting ICM if you look at the links you´ll find.They translated it.

    Potterish is the only Portuguese site on the top sites that are listed on JKR´s site, like TLC. So, one that she follows, since she also speaks Portuguese.

  115. Malachy sexy!!!!!!!!

  116. AJ you like Mr. Whalberg! You never loan out your New Kids stuff, never ever!

  117. I know, I still have one left I think and I even have a Dynomite magazine with them on the cover, it’s in my car trunk in a box of books I took from my mother’s house before she moved.

  118. dynamite, I mean…

  119. ne-ed r-upert n-news….. *dies* :(

  120. I love how spoiled we are!

    Rupert, just go somewhere pose for the paparazzi and then go back to your hotel! Its that simple. Then we would be good for a few more days. :D lol

  121. Dove, did you find the crying Lavender pic?

    It’s in the desk calendar scans that iamfez shared with hbpmoviepics lj.

    http://community.livejournal.com/hbpmoviepics/45818.html#cutid1

    It’s the close-up Lavender pic right after Hermione holding the newspaper. I looked so fast, I almost didn’t notice she was crying at first, but you can see the tears under her left eye. Poor baby. I’d probably NEVER stop crying if I lost my Won-Won.

  122. …and once again, there are hbp pics on occlumencia.com and not one of Hermione… what was wrong with Emma? Otherwise she’s always first in line when pics are taken….

  123. Hi girls, back from my weekend away! We had a good time, lots of wine!
    I can see that it’s been slow here, I’m sorely disappointed that I missed out on the pillow fight!

    Rupert: Step out of your trailer (or wherever you are), let the rough winds on Isle of Man mess with that gorgeous hair of yours and make sure the locals have time to get their cameras!
