Rupert Grint Featured On HBO’s First Look!

» July 3 by Tao in HP News, Rupert News with 56 Comments

2199z7dJuly 03, 2009, 11:42pm–HBO just ran their first airing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince special on their series First Look. In this we see Rupert Grint talk about the movie and many behind-the-scenes glimpses of him including new quidditch scenes, meeting Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), Lavender Brown (Jessie Cave), and much much more! One moment shown, which I think everyone was looking forward to, is the bit where Ron hugs onto Slughorn while under the effects of love potion! There were also quite a few new scenes shown including many great Ron scenes. As always, Rupert never disappoints with the comedy. The clip also shows various other moments including the bridge being demolished, as well as how they did it, the cave scenes and of course tons of other moments are featured! Caps coming soon and you can download the video here.

UPDATE: We’ve now added the clips on our youtube account here and here.

  8. OMG!!! Oh heck, I just found out it was on again, so I’m watching it now (missed the first moments), IDK how to put it on the computer, but DARN it’s funny….hehehehehe.

  9. Like, what cords.

    I want a Snape-cape…

  10. It looks SO DARN GOODm really….

  11. can’t you temporarily put up a megaupload link or something. *lol* *desperate to see this* And no other site has it. WTF.

  12. Oh Quidditch looks HOT and bother Ron and Cormac can rock a broom, that’s all I’m saying…

  13. Oh darn it, I know NOTHING about uploading to my computer, I don’t even have the proper cords. I’m just watching and re-watching the romance and quidditch parts on the DVR. I missed like less than a few minutes.

  14. SHOOT, I turned the freaking channel by accident. It’s GONE!!! I HATE that…

    That’s what I get….

  15. GASP. Is it possible??

    The link is working!!! :D DD

    *watching now*!!!

  16. Wow, there was a lot of Ronpert in this. The movie looks like its going to be the best yet. Can’t wait!

    Ron/Slughorn *dies*

  17. I’m glad you can see it. I saw it on tv, cause I still can’t see it here. Me and quicktime never really ever got along.

  18. Omg when Cormac catches that fly!! LMAO!

  19. Love it! Brilliant!

  20. OMG! It looks so good!

    “Hello darling, fancy a drink?”

    Fabulous!!!

  21. Man when he hugs Slughorn. he delivers that line to the fucking perfection!

  22. Still downloading!! Cant wait to see it!!

  23. How hot is it when Ron saves that goal during the match? HAWTHAWT.

  24. Why am I not getting the link to work? It just spins.

  25. Bloody brilliant First Look! l totally loved it!

  26. Talley, I had to reload or perhaps update my Quicktime. Then I still had to wait a moment after, cause it was a bit slow. Before that, it kept freezing my computer.

    So, try loading or updating your quicktime.

  27. I think you can tell the difference in time between the dorm scene and Slughorns office, because Rupert’s hair seems longer in the dorn scene than in the office. Of course it’s flipped out more, and it could be that, but I think it’s longer.

    I LOVE how David Yates simply gushes over Rupert.

  28. I like that they have flies in the wizarding world, I wonder if they have magical fly powers?

  29. Talley try to right click on the link and Save as. It takes a while but it works!!

    Ok I’ve watched plenty of times today so that I can dream of it! haha Can we have the movie now?! G’night ladies :)

  30. I know, I should have been in bed. There is the moment in the beginning of the video of Ron leaning over a balony (I think, probably the tower at the end) and he and Hermione eyes, just….

    Oh gosh, Ron and Hermione is going to kill me.

  31. Its not working on me !!! :(

  32. Just added the youtube links as an update for those having issues. ;)

  33. Thanks AJ. I finally got it and wow! I have tickets to see it on the 15th but I want it all now! *giggles at Ron hugging Slughorn*

  34. Thank you. Real player just doesn’t work for me

    *watch it on Youtube now. So excited by what you guys said :D *

  35. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!
    Rupert is The MAN! The Slug Hug was perfect.
    His quidditch trepidation was perfect.
    His completely oblivious response to Lavender’s flirtation…you guessed it.. freakin’ perfect.

    I was questioning whether or not I was going to the midnight premiere b/c I’ve got work the next day, but this ‘first look’ easily answered that question for me :D

  36. OMG, Ron hugs Slughorn was genius!!! :D
    And Rupert at quidditch was just so HAWT . I love what Yates talked about Rupert and Quidditch (though this is not so new to us that he’s a natural comedian :) )

    Man, I bought the ticket yesterday but after what I’ve just seen I just CANT WAIT !!

  37. And I’d just like to add, after revisiting the Lav/Ron scene in http://WWW….tight shirts are Rupert Grint’s best friend. That is all :)

  38. I don’t know why my last post came out with a link. The 3 W’s were for the Weasley Wizard Wheezes or whatever the shop was named, lol.

  39. Ron hugging Slughorn is just priceless and Quidditich looks SO cool! (so that’s what Cormac has in his hand, a freaking fly!) what did dan/harry scream during Ron and Lavender’s kissing scene?

  40. only thing I didn’t like was part1 0:22-0:23, no need to say why…

  41. WickedJo, he yelled “Cut”.

  42. Simply awesome! :) Ron/Rupert is a genius! :) Cant wait for the movie!

  43. I saw this clip in hbp lj, and my goodness, it feels like i’ve seen the film already. but no complaints. heehee… as long as i see rupert anywhere, i’m happy. =)

    also i read the excerpt from a dan rad interview posted in mugglenet about the r/hr kiss, and he himself said that it is the “biggest moment in all the films” and “it was a great kiss”. *swoons*

  44. everything sound awesome but I’m NOT watching this!

  45. Yeah Mench.. I also read it on SS. Great to hear it is “the biggest moment in films” :D

  46. thanks Suzeeq, I thought he had saud “Part!” LOL that’s really funny that he said cut tho :D

  47. Ron hitting on Slughorn is the best thing I’ve ever seen! Less than two weeks and we get to see our boy on the BIG screen!!! Squeeeeeee…

  48. i download it and i see it but after two minutes it was gone!

  49. It’s working now. I’m going to kill this stupid ftp program.

  50. Well, no. Apparently it doesn’t like mp4. I have no clue.

  51. I had no problems. I can view it on my VLC player.

  52. Maybe it just hates me. lol

  53. Same here Suz.

  54. I had no problems either, I can see it regularly on the wmv player.

    Anyway, the Ron love potion scenes look like they will be a highlight of the movie. Soooo funny. And the quidditch scenes too. Poor Ron. LoL. But he will be victorious in the end. Woohoo.

  55. LOL I think it’s just the mp4 on the mac… boo! Sometimes I hate it. I have a love/hate relationship with the macintrash. :P

  56. Great show! Thx. Check out this great Deathly Hallows clip – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaNZGYET0RM
