UPDATE: Meeting Rupert Grint; With Photo! Plus A New EA Golf Picture!

» January 5 by Tao in Rupert News with 83 Comments

January 5th, 2009 5:40 PM–News has been a little slow again but thankfully one lucky fan who met Rupert near London last year took out some time to share her story with us! This meeting happened in October of 2008 but the photo is new to us! You may view it in our gallery here and to read her story click below.

Also thanks to the lovely Val for sending over the news to us! We also have some other Rupert updates soon. Yes we said soon!

UPDATE: We have a new picture of Rupert on the golf course, sort of. In this picture he is at the EA Golfing event and is riding an interesting golf cart. You may view this image here! And if you haven’t been, you can check out some other fan pictures on the forums here! (If you own these pictures and wish them not to be on our site, please let us know!)

“Well with my Orchestra, we were on the way back from our tour to Austria and Slovenia… and we stopped at a service station near London, (i forget which one) and on the way back from the toilets we spot him and get all excited and everything!

So me, Cally and Mary go up to him and ask for photos with him we have our cameras with us because of the trip and we just naturally carry them around with us. He let us take the pictures and asked where we were going and everything… :P

After he’d gone and driven off we’d been standing talking about it then I ran back to the coach to tell the people that didn’t get get off and on my way I tripped over. I was wearing flip flops… So a circular stone hit my foot and I now have a circular scar on my foot!!! And it wouldn’t stop bleeding, so I just put a plaster on it and stuff. But it got infected for ages but it’s fine now.”

  14. Yeah Karo but the photo is new to us, I did correct some things on the post though!! I will still be emailing you in a bit, things are backed up and busy suddenly today. GOD he looks yummy in that picture.

  15. Ah! Lucky girl! In my recent trip to London, I can’t tell you how my heart leapt every time I saw a head of gorgeous ginger hair. Sadly, it was never him.

    Kept looking for ice cream vans, too.

  16. luuuurvly picture! Geourgoes smile! And Fugitive – I did the same when I was in London last spring..

  17. I know Jo.
    So, Hazel’s post was made back in September, but Val found it today.

  18. FugitiveStar I went to London a week ago and I also felt my heart speed every time I saw a redhead guy with a similar haircut… but no one was our Rupe!

    “soon”….cant wait!!

  19. Holy crap he’s gorgeous! Love that smile! Lucky girl!!

  20. Is it alright if I post over at R/E forums?

  21. so this was before wild target and his haircut during then? hmm, ok.

  22. Yeah suzeeq, oh and I still need to get back with you on something too. But yeah go ahead! :)

  23. masterofmystery not sure, i go by the info she gave us which was october/sept! :)

  24. Girls after you’ve finished drooling, please pay a visit to our restricted section, I have a surprise for all R/E lovers in da house!
    Oh and Red are you still here? I need to email you chica.

  25. Ivana YES! And I guess it is a double treat because the other Rupert news I will post there too. in a bit though, still backed up with things.

  26. how can we get into the restricted version???

  27. **goes immediately to the restricted section**

  28. I will say, there were a LOT of cute redheads in London. None that can touch the wonder that is Rupert Grint, of course. But I seriously considered changing nationalities there for a while…

  29. Oh and Jo I’ve just visited the lame-website-that-shall-not-be-named, but there ain’t no new post there!? Has it been taken down or what? *roflmao*

  30. Ivana I need your help on something, check your PM. it is silly to be honest. oh and fleur you gotta have a set amount of posts, check out the forum for details! :)

  31. Fleur you have to join our forum and be an active member for a while in order to get access to the restricted section.

  32. Cool Jo I have to put my son to sleep but I’ll be back online soon!

  33. ok. Thanks Ivana

  34. Ivana – R/E thing was great.. I need to reread Rupert’s one.. starting to forget..

  35. Thank you Jo aswell!

  36. He’s looking gooood.
    Off to read Ivana’s R/E thing now…

  37. Ivanna, what did they say in HP: Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.

  38. Ivana i’m right here, email away.

    jo, i think it is before wild target cuz his hair’s longer here than it was in the set shots we saw from late september, remember? his hair here is exactly like it was at that golf tournament in early september.

  39. You posting on SS master? You can put Sept if you want, I know she did mention October/Sept in the email sent to us sooooo that is cool. :)

  40. nah, we generally don’t post fan pics like that unless it’s from a film set, generally. we’ve gotten a couple of pics here and there from other hp actors in the past couple of days, but it’s like, unless it’s from a big project or something, we just shove them in the galleries (like the rupert pic here, which i did put with credit to you lot):

    http://www.snitchseeker.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-18866

  41. I just saw that his goggle jacket on this pic is goggle-less. And I remember us talking about that goggle-less jacket recently… somewhere…

  42. Wow! What a lucky girl. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to just randomly see Rupert at a gas station! I think I would go into hysterics. LOL! I like his hair, and I’m a little disappointed to see him clean-shaven, but oh well!

    I am running to the restricted section right now to read Ivana’s post! Yay!

  43. That girl was sooo lucky. The one thing I loved about her story was the fact that Rupert actually showed interest in their plight by asking where they were going. He could have just smiled for a millisecond for that pic, and jetted, but it seems that he really does have a genuine appreciation for his fans. That is sooo admirable!!

    Oh, and for those of us who are not quite eligible for the big girl (restricted section) yet, can we get minor teensy weensy hints of the Ruperty-goodness that goes on there (like the aforementioned posts that occured today!) :D I’m gonna die with curiosity before I get access to that section, LOL!!

  44. well, in the restricted section you find informations on dragons, love potions, screaming books, and horrible potions. ;)

  45. LOL, sounds good to me, looking forward to making it to the promised land one day! I’ll be patient, and will focus my energy on searching for the CB trailer every 2.3 seconds :)

  46. I love when his smile is so wide, it goes up to his eyes. :) It’s infectious!

    Btw, how tall is this girl? Haha I’m such a dork, but I need to know!

  47. Guys, I know we don’t do the speculating on girlfriends thing . . . . we don’t, right? Anyhow, there are two cute newish pics of Rupe and Kimberly Nixon at the MailOnline site. Anyone seen these?

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1105109/Harry-Potter-star-Rupert-Grint-enjoys-New-Year-drink-star-lover-Kimberly-Nixon.html

    He is just beautiful. Kimberly isn’t all bad either. Haha. Found the link at WizardNews.

  48. aquarian triple your posts on the forum you shall see the promiseland!

    Beate thanks it’s okay to speculate a little but the article is bogus! Rupert looks great in the pictures but they were unfortunately stolen for tabloid use. tisk tisk. I do agree Rupert and Kim look great and I know if they don’t hook up off screen then it doesn’t matter because on screen they are going to heat it up baby!

  49. We know about those picture Beate, but its tabloid trash and not true so its not posted here :) In case you wondered why.

  50. Oh but I agree they are both hot and can’t WAIT to see the chemistry on screen too Jo! They are gonna heat up the big screen :D

  51. Ok, never mind then. I was just so excited to have found something that hadn’t been posted yet.

  52. Beate it’s OK!!! Like I say he looks fablouicious!

  53. *makes mental note to post more* I need to get in the RS asap! I’m so curious! 23 posts to go…

  54. Oh, and that girl is so lucky and he looks so fine.

    Whenever I read those stories, I imagine myself meeting Rupert for the first time by chance when I finally go to London again (last time I went, the first movie wasn’t even out and I hadn’t even read the books). It never goes smoothly, even in my daydreams (in my dreams, though, he falls for me and I am hesitant wth?). Anyway, I’d probably either be struck speechless or ramble nervously.

  55. lucky gurl, & his eyes looks so bluish grayish there, & now i’m gone to the rs

  56. Jo, let us know when you’ve posted about the Rupert news in the RS.

  57. Please! Post in the RS section. lol and Don’t you love it when you view an image, the first thing you see is the top of his red hair? lol :D

  58. KC Says:
    Don’t you love it when you view an image, the first thing you see is the top of his red hair? lol

    i do kc lol i love it

  59. He always looks so happy! I swear it’s contagious! Either that or I’m pregnant and horomonal.

    But either way, I’m smilin!

  60. I don’t think that is from the EA Golfing event unless it went longer than one day. His shirt was black when he was with the twins.

  61. His hair was also shorter at the EA Golfing event.

  62. When I found it it said “EA Golfing Event” so the only other explanation is that he attended it a year earlier… but since we only know of one year I’ll keep it in the 2008 section (unless we hear differently).

  63. do you know when the trailer is coming??

  64. He looks so hot in that pic where he’s driving that golf cart, with the wind blowing his hair, and how he was holding the steering wheel. OMG.

  65. Great pics! The golf cart is too much for words…

    It’s early and I’m looking for a trailer. Looks like the Little Film company has updated their site, the Cherrybomb link is no longer in white, and is clickable from the first page, but still no trailer :( I have a feeling it shouldn’t be long though!

  66. that fanstory is adorable and he looks fierce driving that car! It’s the first pic we got of him driving (despite those during his driving lessons/exam(?))….

  67. God I think I am officially dead! he looks so fierce on that golf cart!!!!!

  68. and look at the golf cart.. its no usual one! :)

  69. hello sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gosh…. look that at that hair!! muaaaahaha… images coming to my mind.
    and that golf cart!! wow!!

    no trailer but at least we got this photo!! yeah! thanks!

  70. That’s a continental car! The driver’s seat’s on the left. It should be on the right in the UK!

  71. It’s a roadster golf cart. All golf carts are made with the steering on the left side. I don’t think they make them with the steering on the right.

  72. they don’t?! okay.

  73. Um… I don’t think that thing’s PGA regulation standard. Dude, don’t try to bring it to St. Andrew’s! ;)

  74. I was so convinced we’d have a trailer today. :(

  75. The golf pic! OMG! He looks so gorgeous! And the way the wind is moving threough his hair is just like…Wow!…Too beautiful to describe! The whole thing is just absolutely breathtaking! And I love that golfcart, by the way. I used to have a golf cart ( It didn’t look anything like that one. It was just one of those average looking golf carts.), but my cousin ran it into a tree. LOL!

  76. hey guess what! i just got off pottershots.net and i think rupert may be dating kimberly nixon! there is to pictures of them very close not holding hands or nothing just very close! but as close as they are you can tell it was probably a date! i tried to go back to get the pictures and post them on here! but it wouldnt let me! so i just thought id tell you guys that! for news about rupert

  77. This rumour has been all over the net due to certain tabloids, and this rumour of them dating is not true. We’ve said this again and again.

  78. And if you’ve got ANY kind of news, please submit them via the news button right under the big changing picture of Rupert on the right at the top of the page

  79. Okay, that’s it. A watched pot never boils. I’m gonna go out and get me a life and when I come back, that trailer BETTER be here! Or I’ll…I’ll…

    …sit here and wait pathetically like always. So THERE!

    *grumble-pout*
    *stomp-stomp*
    *door slam*

  80. Btw guys, new post. (Hopefully wordpress isn’t being weird… it’s working on my end, so just hold down shift and hit refresh on your browser if there is a problem…)

  81. oh! i didnt know about it being on here! shows you what i know when im not on the computer that much! i was thinking it wasnt true anyway! they were just rather close! Oh well shows you how stupid the tabloids are! lol

  82. besides that i hear she already got a boyfriend anyway!

  83. *after seeing the golf cart pic*

    He is too d*mn much!!!!

    *goes to see the fan pics*
