July 05, 2009, 9:58am–Rupert Grint and co-starĀ Daniel Radcliffe taped an interview with Australian show Rove Live last week to promote Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and it has aired today! Thanks to Suzeeq for letting us know that Nessie from the R/E Forums has captured it and has released it on YouTube! You can view the video here! If anyone else has a better recording please do not hesitate to send it to us. We would very much appreciate it!
Also, if you haven’t done so, please send Rupert your “glad you’re feeling better!” comments to him in the post below – as we will be sending them to him!
UPDATE: You can now view the last five questions of the interview in good quality here, coutesy of Rove’s own Youtube channel.
UPDATE 2: We have discovered this interview with Steve Kloves: among other things, he talks about Quiddich and praises Rupert!
I know one thing David [Yates] is very proud of is getting Quidditch right. I do think it’s the first time that it feels like a sport. And it’s comic, which is fun. Rupert Grint (who plays Ron) is great. We also do a lot with the kids coming of age, navigating sexual politics and all that.
Well said Steve! Read the rest here.
UPDATE 3: A great quality version is now available on youtube. Click here to view.





Love the intro, it’s hilarious!
As for Rupert himself… sigh. *yummy yummy screw*
He looks SO good.
“Hermione’s eyes widen as Ron takes out his wand.”
Major lolz.
ROFL
Rove: What’s the first thing you think when you see this picture?
*picture*
Rupert: OMG!
I didn’t get the wand joke! I did LOL alot, but where did that come from? Since when did they make fun o fhis wand?! haha
Wand is another word for “manhood” KC. A little sexual innuendo, that’s all.
Sigh…I could listen to Rupert talking about his wand all day…
So, you mean- Rupert was talkin bout- he actually said-
R.O.F.L.
COOOOOOL
RUPERT!!!!!! REST FIRST!!! YOU NEED TO RECOVER FROM H1N1
YOU CAN DO IT!! \:D/
This interview is so funny.
Rupert looks awesome. IMO they both enjoyed the interview. The environment was just so great.
Yeah, right Rupert. Take a rest, eat and drink healthy, sleep well everyday. Hope you’re in good health for those promotions >:D<
I like when Rupert was answering about Dan and his magic. Rove was looking for him to poke fun about it but nope Rupert was just like “really, no.” Tooo cute man.
That was definitely cute Jo! I love that Rupert always finds the nicest things to say about his cast mates!
very cute interview, Rupert looked yummy and relaxed – love that color on him. the wand stuff was hilarious and he looks so sweet when he rests his chin on his hand
It’s one thing to joke redheads (I still don’t get it, but then again, in my world,people brag about the slightest tinge of red in their hair), but Rupert’s hair is HOT for any hair color. The flow is right….
Rupert does really have lovely hair, doesn’t he? It’s a lovely shade and it’s just so smooth and soft looking that you want to pet it. LOL
The link to the new article posted isn’t working.
It’s working now.
wasn’t this interview posted before? I’m pretty sure it has because I remember reading and having a good laugh at his comment about bein “upset if characters are being violated”. (apart from the Rupert comment)
The wand thing was toooo funny. LoL. And Rupert is the sweetest guy ever. He answered the questions so genuinely seriously. I couldn’t understand very good, I think the tone was a but bad, but did Rupert say he rather meet a Death Eater than a spider?? LMAO gotta love that man.
And I did see some mustache there. Yay for scruff!!!!
LOL I liked when he said he just wants to know what happens next with that “drill to the head” pic. And, bless him for saying he would still cry if he encountered a deadly spider. Poor thing, but I guess that would be true for anyone.
And I’m going to ignore the anti-Ginger statement from Rove about getting a lot of action in HBP for a Ginger. *grumbles*
The interview was funny, but I need the transcript!!!!!!! I’d wish could talk english.
So, really… doesn’t this stir up the debate again about Rupert’s height? Rove claims to be 5’8″ and Rupert is taller than him. lol Even without his Ron shoes, he’d still be taller!
