  1. I love that face!! Someone needs to run up and smooch it :)

  2. This is what is so great about Rupert… he can go from a hottie to completely adorable!

  3. Can someone please tell me that HBP will be released on 17 July 2009? It is, isn’t it? At least UK/US, right?

  4. HOT!!!!!!!!

  5. Yep KAro ;)
    5 more months…

  6. Oh, girls sorry for the photo in the last entry. I posted without refresh the page. :S

    He’s too cute for the words!
    And Tao you just said right! ;)

  7. Newcomer Jessie Cave — known better as Lavender Brown — regaled us us about her unrehearsed kiss with budding stud Rupert Grint.

    I love you, MTV.

  8. Staff, email!

    Oh, and Emma starts filming tomorrow. So maybe Rupert does as well.

  9. yes, he is the stud isn’t he? that pic is so cute and funny!!! July 17th my b-day…yes, i can’t say it enough times…can’t wait!!

  10. * desperately makes Emmione a brunette in photoshop*

    Gah that smirk….!

  11. I love his smile. It’s so sincere. He truly has an ear-to-ear grin and his eyes shine.

  12. Well, MTV people had already saw the HBP spoilers for sure.
    So this “budding stud” didn’t came from nowhere! ;)

    And pay attention: they are talking about “Rupert Grint” not “Ron Weasley”!

    Oh, I can’t wait to watch “Ron Weasley and the Half Blood Prince!”

  13. I walked into a movie theater yesterday and BAM! Bigger than life Rupert taking up the whole screen in his adorable little tank top. I almost dropped my popcorn down the center isle. It was kinda like the veela effect, I think.

  14. edit: aisle

  15. Awww, how cute it this!?!?! SQUIIIISH!

    I’m ready for cherrybomb trailer. Really, aaaaany day now.

    <3

  16. aww, look at how cute he looks with his little cap on and his wide little smile! he looks ready to take on lord voldemort and woo hermione

  17. Yeah, Bilius this already happened to me twice.
    Bad that I couldn’t hear his voice.
    It was a dubbed trailer! :S
    But the guy who does his voice is the same since PS, and he also have a cute and funny when the scene needs) voice.

    Jo, reply your email.

  18. Smirkalicious!!!

  19. You know, it’s kind of a shock to go from seeing him as Malachy to Ron.

    He’s still sexy either way.

  20. ZEXY MOTHER FUCKER!!!!
    AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
    ssssssssssssQQQQQQQQQQQUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEE

    FAINTS TO THE FLOOR. (KERPLUNK)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    DAMN THAT IS ON ZEXY ZEXY DUDE

    Ron Weasley & the Half Blood Prince

  21. edit:

    DAMN THAT IS ONE ZEXY ZEXY DUDE!

    OOPS!
    still would like to be on him anyway..

  22. Geez, talk about the whiplash!!! You look once to the side, you see sexy, strutting Malachy. The other side you see sexy, strutting Ron grinning like an adorable Cheshire cat! Damn, a girl is gonna need a neck brace before this year is over with!

    That pic makes me want to snuggle him and make him hot chocolate with the tiny colored marshmallows!

    <B

  23. Look at you all with your Ron lovin’

    I thought you all forget about Ron and was all about Malachy?

    See, I knew better!!!

    *says Ron’s Faerie Godmother*

    Hehehehehehe….

  24. Oh, I could never forget about Ron. He’s my favorite character, perhaps ever. I just was losing excitement for HBP because it’s so far away and it’s taking so long. I’m still not as excited for HBP as I usually am for a HP movie. At least not yet. I bet when it gets closer to July and there’s more promotion, I’ll get really excited again.

    I am looking forward to the thing in MTV and the thing at the end of the Oscars. I hope they’re not the same thing, though. Probably are.

  25. Hi everyone! Finally a break in my hectic first week of working!

    I’d almost forgotten about HBP but now I’m getting all excited about it and I’m pretty sure I get to see it before everyone else as it premieres on the 16th of July here!

    Isn’t that the same jacket that he wore in OotP (when they go for their first DA meeting in Hog’s head)?

    Poor Ronald, no new clothes… :(

  26. Hi Karin :)

    Oh, I still love Ron! Without Rupert, I don’t think I would care as much as I do… Look at him, he just literally Ron Weasley right there! :)

  27. I’m still not excited about HBP but I do love the pic we got. ROCK THAT WEASLEY WEAR Rupert!

  28. Hi Tao! :D

    I think I can honestly say that his smile is exactly the way I imagined Ron Weasley’s smile to be. A warm smile, like he can’t help himself, rather than a cheesy grin…

    Ah well… I need to catch up on news! I’ve been trying to keep up but the flow has been overwhelming and Dublin’s just around the corner…

  29. I am excited about HBP but it still can’t give me the spark that CB or WT does. Plus I am still leary of Rupert’s screen time. I really won’t have an opinion on HBP till I have sat down and watched it. Although I can’t lie ICM does have some bigger exclusives for HBP than we did last year so yeah excitment will surface for me but much much later when promotion starts.

  30. OH and hey Karin, so how was the first week???!

  31. I have to admit, I have a thing for guys who wear knit caps. That plus the fact that it’s Rupert is ace. So, way to go HBP costume department! *two thumbs up*

    Oh, and Jo: you’re such a tease.

  32. Hi Jo!!!

    Well, I’m not through my first week yet but it’s overwhelming, I haven’t worked for a while and suddenly I’m working full time.

    It’s a nice change from nappy changing but also a bit mind blowing before you get into the rhythm of things!!!

    The students are nice and my colleagues seem cool so overall it’s a positive experience.

    Not as cool as interviewing Rupert, I admit, but still good!

  33. Karin!!! Glad you’re first week went well, and I hear you on that nappy changing.

  34. Hi Michelle!

    Well, let’s just say I’m even happier about not being the one at home while toilet training is going on. Messy business that…. ;)

    So messy in fact that I won’t spam the message board with any more details…

    I must say I really look forward to HBP now. I’ve sort of accepted the fact that I won’t see CB for a long time (well not quite, but I keep telling myself that I have) so HBP is the big thing. I just re-read the books for the umpteenth time and I’ve given into (false?) hope that HBP and DH will be more as we wanted the movies to be and that Ron Weasley will be allowed to a) complete his sentences b) be REALLY funny AND brave c) develop that wonderful R/Hr romance with through the emotional scenes in DH

  35. Kloves already half ruined HBP for me by FUCKING up one particular scene. Y’all know what I’m talking about.

  36. OMG! Sorry about the language mistakes above…

    Well, the exclusion of the funeral scene doesn’t bode well but I’m trying so hard to be optimistic, I WANT HBP to be great!!!!

    Like I said, CB isn’t likely to come here for a while so HBP is the next movie on the agenda…

  37. It’s not the lack of the funeral that I’m talking about.

  38. Oh sorry!

    *Tries to think hard and fails*

    I give up…

  39. The wonderful trio moment at the end at HBP. The one where BOTH Ron and Hermione vouch to go with Harry……Kloves turned it into a special HHr talk. Ron says nothing, stands in the background and Emmione gets his line “we’re with you, Harry”

  40. OH Karin that is good!!!!! Glad to hear you seem to be happy with the change. :)

    As for HBP I don’t expect it to be like the books or follow the books so we should know by now it won’t be up to par. I am just hoping finally for once Rupert is given loads of screen time and attention because he is the best actor and deserves it. If not then OH WELL WE HAVE MORE CHERRYBOMB AND WILD TARGET!

  41. Ughhhh Laura I didn’t know that. I haven’t been keeping up with HBP to be honest. Spare me the grief by saying nothing more. I knew there was a good reason WHY I was wasn’t paying attention. Back to CB and WT thank you very much.

  42. Jo did you see what I posted in the WT bits and pieces thread? I don’t know if it’s accurate though…

  43. You meaning about the running time??? I think it is just info used from the original because the original is that. Is that what you mean?

  44. I am happy with it Jo, but I miss my ICM work!

    Now I’m with you Laura… I forgot about that. Crap.

    Unwanted, repressed memories from previous movies are cropping up now. Shrieking shack in PoA. Ron agreeing with Snape (#%*^&^%^!!!!) in PoA. GoF minus the Yule ball.

    *Depressed*

  45. Yeah just noticed Jo…..dammit thought I fond something *lolz*

    Guh Kloves GTFO!

    *wishes for the HP the movies to be finished with*

  46. That is why I say OFF WITH it’s head! I love that Rupert stuck it out though because he is fabulous as Ron but please enough is enough…. for me it least coming from a fan’s pov.

    Oh it’s OK Laura. Who knows maybe it will be that, but I am hoping it is longer. CB I guess as we found out turned out to be a bit longer. :)

  47. So CB isn’t 82 minutes or it’s not the 76 minutes some places are saying?

  48. Uh no I thought it was longer than 82 minutes. Perhaps Karo or AJ remembers but the movie definitely felt longer than 82 minutes.

  49. No, I tried to check the time when we saw it on Monday, but I forgot to check back at the end, what with all the note-taking.

  50. Tao, they were talking about Wild Target’s running time.

    I am trying not to think of all the ways Ron (and therefore Rupert) have gotten or could get the shaft in in HBP and DH. If I do, I just get ticked off. And hearing how fantastic Rupert is in CB just makes it that much worse that he hasn’t gotten the chance to shine and if they just kept Ron as he is in the books, then he would get that chance.

  51. He still shines, though, with what he has to work with. You know what I mean.

  52. Yeah I know what you mean that is why I still watch those HP movies because of him. Without him I wouldn’t even bother. I know HP means a lot to Rupert so I try and not say everything I am thinking out of respect, but anyway……. Ron is looking yummy gorgeous in that new picture huh? How about those celtics.

  53. I think I would still bother b/c I do enjoy the films for what they are. I just wish they could be more because the material is there for them to be great. I wish Goldenberg had taken over scriptwriting. OOTP had tons of quotes and scenes directly from the book.

    And yes, Rupert looks fantastic. I love his smile so much. He’s very broad, isn’t he? Yum.

  54. Like I said before, Ron should get his own show…Auror Ron: the series and he Hermione (Kimberly Nixon) and sidekick Conor (Colin/Nigel/Seamus hybrid) can fight deatheaters to Joss Whedon scripted wit.

    Another proposition is that Malachy enters Hogwarts late in life as the Weasley’s distant NI cousin.

    it would be like Ron having a evil twin (like Jeannie and Samantha from Bewitched), except Malachy’s not evil.

    I’d keep Malachy away from the Floo Powder though, lest he uses it “improperly.”

  55. “I wish Goldenberg had taken over scriptwriting. OOTP had tons of quotes and scenes directly from the book. ”

    Except, Ron didnt always have complete sentences. He’d start, Hermione would finish….

    I think that they should just let Rupert quote Ron directly from the book. Ron’s random smart*ssed observations and all……

  56. I don’t really remember his sentences being cut off in OOTP. I saw it seven times in the theater and who knows how many on DVD.

    Overall, the movie was closer to the spirit of the book than any of the other films, with perhaps the exception of SS. I’ve pretty much accepted that the characters are a muddled version of their book-selves in the movies, but I feel that OOTP at least made more of an effort. I hope Yates continues that.

  57. When he and Hermione first shows up. That was the first thing that I noticed. At least in that first scene in the bedroom with Harry.

  58. I just hope he doesn’t OD off of “Bloody Hell.”

  59. I don’t remember that. It’s been a while since I watched it from the beginning, though. I keep catching it on HBO, but it’s already half way over.

  60. Gosh I still can’t believe I’m seeing Cherrybomb tomorrow!!!! :D

  61. Ivana I simply CAN’T wait for you to see CB!!!!

  62. Ivanaaaaaaaaaaaa… super cool the day is just around the corner!!!
    Good luck girl!!! Enjoy enjoy enjoy!!

  63. Love Ron. Love the Weasleys. Enjoy R/Hr when it’s allowed to be shown. Love Snape. Can’t wait for HBP. Still excited about it as a whole and then for Rupert. Not going to focus on the negatives being mentioned because I enjoy the movies even though I do have my grievances. Hugs my growing Blu-Ray versions and rock on my heels murmuring, “my precious.”

  64. I can’t see all the comments in this page, when I click in “All” it came back to the first comments page. :S

    AJ I sent you a PM !!!!

  65. lol, Talley

    And yay, Ivana! How does it feel to be just hours away from seeing Cherrybomb?

  66. Lilly, the problem is not the site but your internet software. Do you use IE?

  67. Is it just me, or is something worng with the comments??

  68. I think there might be some problems with the comments. I just upgraded to the newest version of wordpress, and the paged comments might not be cooperating. Whatever you guys do, don’t hit “all” because you should be able to see them if you just click on the numbers.

    I’ve also made some other fun updates. Unfortunately our last social bookmarking plugin decided it’d be more fun not to work. lol But I like the new one… there is an e-mail option and a print option now. We also have a new contact form… all submit news areas will be sent directly to staff.

  69. Girls, those of you who use Internet Explorer might have problems with comments. Other browsers (Firefox, Safari etc.) work well, but IE has been known to suck. Perhaps you guys should try installing Firefox. :)
    Oh and I have just finished packing, ordered a taxi to the airport for tomorrow morning (I don’t drive), etc. Yay! I have butterflies in my stomach, I suppose that’s a normal reaction to the prospect of seeing Cherrybomb in less than 24 hours!

  70. Tao if this paged comments plugin continues to suck, perhaps we should deinstall it too. Or try a different one.

  71. There aren’t many available. I was just looking… the one we use is the best, but they might not have had the time to upgrade yet, or are working on it.

  72. Weren’t you supposed to deinstall all plugins before updating WordPress? I remember I had to do that when I upgraded our RR section to 2.7 version.

  73. The automatic upgrade, I believe, does it for you. That’s an option the newest version has… it does everything for you automatically so you don’t have to. But some plugins are only compatible with previous versions and the plugin author has to upgrade the plugin to work with the latest version.

  74. Oh well, deinstall it then. We’ll reinstall it again when the newest version is available.
    Oh and I see that you have changed the “Submit news” page, cool! But there’s another link on the homepage, “Want to?” (below the elite affiliates) that still leads to our old “contact us” .php page.

  75. Well, I mean, why? As long as you don’t click on ‘all’ (sort of mutes the point of paged comments, right?) you’re fine. There was actually another interesting plugin I found… but I’m not sure if it pages comments, but you can actually just reply to the person and it’s a threaded look. But I dunno if you have to have a login to do that… I’m just babbling though.

    I’ll fix that too then!

  76. Well actually it’s not fine. I’m using Firefox now, and when I post a new comment, I don’t see the comments thread at all, just the original news post! Then I have to click on the post title, and that reloads the comments and then I can see them properly. :(

  77. Like with AJ, Karo, and Jo; I’m all a flutter with excitement for you Ivanna. You’re so lucky to have this opportunity. Good luck!

  78. I’m the same about comments. I’m at work on IE and after I posted all the comments were gone and something about older posts.

  79. Well, it’s not that big a deal. lol I mean, you just hit back and it’s there. If it was completely askew and you couldn’t see it at all, I’d be taking the plugin down. But as long as folks can see, I’m not in a rush… but I will work on finding more or waiting to see if they upgrade.

  80. Yes, Ivana! Butterflies in stomach are a common occurence shortly before a Cherrybomb screening. ;)

  81. My pages #s just keep disappearing and I have to refresh for them to come back (but I’m not at home, so…) and these is my first comment so we’ll see.

    Anyways… AWW, Ron is simply adorable! I agree mainly with talley about the HP thing, but I was thinking that the funny thing will be actually seeing adorable Ron after seeing troublemaker/sexy Malachy and rugged/criminal Tony. I love how Rupert can show his growth as an actor and as a man and then still go back and be ickkle Ronnie :) and if HBP will be weird, imagine DH!!

    Ivana girl, have fun. Get there safe and bring us back all your giggles, swoons and sqees. Oh and your review :) (can’t wait!)

  82. Yeah Talley when that happens (You only see “older posts” link) you have to click on the newspost title, and then you should be able to see all comments.

  83. I’ll be logging out soon, I need to get up at 5AM tomorrow.
    I’ll try to keep you guys entertained with my Dublin reports the best way I can, and I also promise to buy all Irish daily and weekly mags… just in case some of them decide to publish something on Rupert/CB. :)

  84. You should be able to hit back too.

    I’m looking into another plugin, but I’m not sure it’s going to work… But it might be fun. lol

  85. Hey Ivana!! Good luck and have fun! Yeah I know you will!!

  86. Girls, I still can’t see all the comments in the entry! :S
    Even the last one I did, and maybe this one two!

    Maybe is happening with other people too!

  87. No, I can’t see it too! :S

  88. I left a question at the front desk at the forums!

  89. So, what time does CB screen at the festival tomorrow?

  90. I think he knew the persson taking the photo. Sometimes a person photos better when they have a connection to the person holding the camera.

  91. Bilius, It’s a screencap of video from MTV’s “Spoiler” special that includes HBP stuff. Maybe someone made a joke or something. We’ll find out on Saturday.

  92. Lilly you sometimes have to refresh the page. It might be a wordpress bug but I know for me sometimes I don’t see them all so I refresh it and it all pops up. We’ll check it out though. :)

  93. That Anon comment at 3:11 pm was me. I had the same problem, but I was at a schools pc which uses IE, and I didn’t see that it posted at the time. Here at home everything is the same as usual, including my slow as snails pc.

    I will try again tomorrow from that other pc, *whatever*
    for now it’s already late, so goodnight even though I didn’t really get to talk to you all.

    *is excited/jealous for Ivana*

  94. Oops no, it did happen here the same. I had to go back to the home page then update before I saw my comment. Thought you’d want to know.

    Toodle-lew!!

  95. Thanks Evie.

  96. There is a glitch in the plugin after I updated wordpress. I apologize. I’m working on a way to deactivate the plugin and not mess up this and also maybe get a different one up… I dunno. But it’ll have to wait until tomorrow. I’m tired. For now, if you don’t see your comment, just hit back or go to the main page and come back… it posts the comments, you just can’t see it like before until you do one of these two steps. Sorry for the inconvenience!

  97. OMG he’s soo cute! I can’t wait for this movie!

  98. how cute u are!!!
