July 1, 2009, 1:34 PM–The UK music retailer HMV loved the BLAG magazine with Rupert Grint on the cover (fyi that’s the photo we’re using for our site layout) so much that they have asked to use it for their My Inspiration campaign to promote the new Harry Potter film and box set releases. This campaign will see the photos of Rupert Grint and his co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson grace windows and underground stations galore. The trio will not only look good in the posters, but they will also be quoting their favourite lines from favourite films!

Many thanks to Sarah J Edwards with the Blag magazine for letting us know, and for sending us the never before seen shot from their session! View it in our gallery here.

If you haven’t purchased your precious copy of Blag yet, you may do so via their official store. Read our useful tips for purchase here, and if you need help, just email us at staff@rupert-grint.us! And after you get the mag, you may take part in our project for Rupert’s 21st Birthday: Blag Around The World! The photos that we have received so far have been added to our gallery here. You may also view the officialy released photos from Blag here, the behind-the-scenes video with the outtakes here, and the first official press release here.

And if you happen to spot a new HMV advert with Rupert, please take a snapshot of it, send it to us, and we’ll forward it to Sarah and Sally Edwards — they’d love to see it!

  8. About freakin’ time. I’ve been waiting for the comments to open, cause I was fit to explode.

    And I was going to say the same thing too Ivana, he DOES look like a young Christopher Walken, not the older one like now.

    Rupert and the color blue, gosh help me.

    AND Jo, remember what I told you about what I wanted to do with Robert Downey, Jr’s. eyes when I was younger?

    I want Rupert’s eyes too!!!

  9. Not exactly, but I get where they are coming from. The smoldering, THE SMOLDERING….

  10. LMAO AJ! Are you serious? Now Rupert’s eyes. Oh please be careful. AJ I can see you jumping and waiting to make a comment like an anxious kid raising their hand in class. That was me too. He’s sickeningly gorgeous and for this photo to just sit there in the dark is just all kinds of wrong man.

    Edit: WOW AJ OK that Chris picture is looking hot. I can see why they compared Rupert to him!!!

  11. Ok I cant die.. I need to see more Rupes so I came back to life.

    Im gonna look for some WAlken’s photos when young!! Im so curious!

  12. Oh thanks AJ, didnt catch that!
    HE does looks like him, I mean just a bit but he does…
    Agree! he looks hot in that one!!

    you can blow with this *sings*

  13. im not sure what to say!!! lol

  14. Great, now I have the chance to have my own Blag, yay
    *go to see the pic”

    Fly to Rupertland!
    Too much to handle… *faint*

  15. He’s got SWAGGA and he freakin’ Smolders, SMOLDERS!!!!

    Gosh, he’s like FOOD!!!!

  16. Whoa! I’m off for nine hours and come back to tHIS?! *squeesatthepicture*

    Hugs to all from Dublin!

  17. Hiya Karo! I’ve tried to call you. Are you available to talk now?

  18. This is awesome news. The Cherrybomb phenomena is spreading. And what a yummy picture. Whew…bring me more!!!

  19. Cries. That photo is just so intense. It’s so beautiful. He’s like a delicate piece of fine art.

  20. Erm, try calling me in ten minutes. I’m at the airport, and it’s loud.

    I saw that, but we were in a store and I didn’t hear my phone.

    10 mins

  21. I love the picture! But I don’t understand the dan, rupert, and emma part. Could someone explain about the movie quotes and stuff? I don’t get it. ;)

  22. God, he’s gorgeous!

  23. KC I’ve just edited the post, hope it makes more sense now! Let me find an example of a My Inspiration poster.

  24. Here you go: the poster’s gonna look something like this, but we’ll have Rupert’s BLAG photo instead, and his favourite quotes:

  25. I love that song, You’ll Never Walk Alone…

    Rupert’s gonna way, “Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner!”

    hehehehe, messin’

  26. Oh, thanks Ivana! :)

    This shall be great

  27. HOTHOTHOT!!!!

  28. I think Rupert’s quote should be “ICM Rules!” :D

  29. “I think Rupert’s quote should be “ICM Rules!” :D

    Damn right Carolyn :D

  30. God that’s one hot picture. That could’ve worked great a s a cover as well. FOCK!

    I request more outtakes, they’re holding out on us!

  31. Right! I want the blue pic as the inspiration one, cause it looks inspiring.

    I LOVE BLUE!!!

  32. Well.. I am home from the beach… Awesome pic! And Laura you are right – we need outtakes!

  33. OMFG!!!!! Damm, why didn’t they include that pic in the magazine? Lord have mercy on my soul!!!

  34. *is off making the new calender*

  35. Thank you Sarah for releasing that wonderful shot!
    Maybe they didn’t pick that one because it doesn’t show off the suit(Tom Ford?)as well as the other one. AJ is right — smoldering is an appropriate description.

  36. Ok, now I’ll sound repetitive.
    Bilius and Ivana for sure will have something to tell me, buttttttttttttttt…I’m working in a Rupert’s portrait in a black paper with the Blag cover photo and only half of his face appearing! :O

    Oh, God, this guy will gonna kill me!
    Now I have one more photo to inspire me! And what a photo!
    I hope Sarah could give us some more. She must have tons like this.

  37. OH, I just want the blue one for the ad. I can see that one in an ad.

    *is so willing to rub herself up against (not in THAT way) a dirty subway (underground wall) to get closer to that pic….

    *is OUT of cookies and soy chocolate milk*

  38. Rupert. Is. A. Hot. Stud. That is all.

    And also my phone doesn’t do this pic justice. I was looking at it while waiting to see Public Enemies and all I could think was, “OMG!” and then I came here and went “*dead*”

  39. I submitted news to the site. :)

  40. WOW! *is floored* That gaze is very intense! *dies*

  41. Sigh. What a handsome, sexy man he has become.
