Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe on Rove Live!
July 05, 2009, 9:58am–Rupert Grint and co-star 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*
July 5th, 2009
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!
July 5th, 2009
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
July 5th, 2009
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…
July 5th, 2009
So, you mean- Rupert was talkin bout- he actually said-
R.O.F.L.
July 5th, 2009
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<
July 5th, 2009
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.
July 5th, 2009
That was definitely cute Jo! I love that Rupert always finds the nicest things to say about his cast mates!
July 5th, 2009
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
July 5th, 2009
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….
July 5th, 2009
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
July 5th, 2009
The link to the new article posted isn’t working.
July 5th, 2009
It’s working now.
July 5th, 2009
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)
July 5th, 2009
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!!!!
July 5th, 2009
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*
July 5th, 2009
The interview was funny, but I need the transcript!!!!!!! I’d wish could talk english.
July 5th, 2009
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!
July 5th, 2009
Tao, Rove is SO not 5’8. He’s barely taller than Danry.
July 5th, 2009
I just love how broad he looks compared to Rove. Oh and the light stubble..*drools*
I’m making caps…do you want to have them to put in the gallery or are you making some yourself?
July 5th, 2009
If that’s the case, then Rupert is barely taller than Dan. lol Seriously. Celebheights has Rove listed as 5’7.5″ and Rove claims 5’8″. Rupert looks around an inch taller (hard to tell since they don’t truly stand face to face) and he probably has about a half inch more shoe than Rove so Rupert is a strong 5’8″ and probably a little taller.
Oops. Forgot to say that’d be great Laura!
July 5th, 2009
I don’t know why but Rupert always came across as a 5’9 kinda guy.
July 5th, 2009
I’m going with 5’9, too. But if he’s 5’8 or 5’7, I don’t give a damn. I love my Rupey.
I didn’t like that ‘redhead’ comment, either. Seriously, does this guy think HE’S better looking than Rupert? Wake up call, sweetie! I didn’t like the orangutan (Ranga) comment, either. He was stepping over line of “joking around”. Or maybe I’ve lost my sense of humor. *shrugs* Slightly off topic, I get on the computer, and our favorite Ginger’s cute mug is plastered across my home page, saying he’s got Swine Flu. Damn, but that took off like wildfire, didn’t it?
July 5th, 2009
Yeah, I think if Rove is 5’7.5″ or 5’8″ like his claim, then Rupert is definitely closer to 5’9″. Tom Felton was recently described as 5’8.5″ and if you look at the pictures of Rupert and Tom at the OotP premiere, Rupert is probably the same height or slightly taller. He’s around an inch shorter (if that) in the pics and Tom has on way better shoes, probably like a half inch or so more than Rupert (a not standing tall Rupert I might add). Here’s the pic: http://www.rupert-grint.us/gallery3/displayimage.php?album=883&pos=31 – I don’t think Rupert is anything under 5’8″ but I don’t think anything over 5’9″ is likely.
July 5th, 2009
Lol Tao, why don’t you believe Jo’s and AJ’s estimation?!
July 5th, 2009
Because it’s an estimation. LOL No one is right or wrong in an estimation here… but when I see things like this, I can see above 5’8″. But still, would anyone really notice a quarter or a half inch with the 5’8″ estimation? That would be very hard to tell. I mean, my mom has always been a half inch taller than me, but it was barely noticeable.
July 5th, 2009
I just made 88 caps!! He truly looks so handsome in this. (loving the Ron outfits so far!) and his smile….god that smile.
July 5th, 2009
Well in any case Tao, if everything goes as planned, in two days I’ll get a chance to measure Rupert myself. Are you gonna trust my judgement, then?
I’ll be wearing the flattest pumps imaginable.
July 5th, 2009
Man.. two days only….
cant wait!
July 5th, 2009
Two days? For reals?
July 5th, 2009
Fun interview. Was disappointed they weren’t interviewed together. I’d love to see them feed off each other in that type of interview. All I got to say is didn’t Rupert look great? Really really great. His hair looked so soft and his face was so sweet. Did not care as a redhead myself of the “ranga” mention. Not find funny whatsoever.
July 5th, 2009
LOL Ivana, only if you actually pull out a tape measure and measure him. :p
Yay for 88 caps! All things should be 88… *Dale Jr mode*
July 5th, 2009
Héhé that sounded dirty Tao. Did you see the shoes Rove was wearing as well. These chucks with quite of bit of height. I can show you…I have caps *laughs*
July 5th, 2009
LOL Yeah, his chucks might’ve been height inducing. Usually they give a little over a .5 inches for height… but I did think they looked bigger.
July 5th, 2009
OMG,what a funny interview,i loved!
July 5th, 2009
yeah hopefully someone can post the transcript. i wonder wat Dan said on his second to the last question. something about “Grint….”
yeah.. im waiting for the transcript. hihih.. fingers crossed
July 5th, 2009
can anyone get screencaps of the interview?
July 5th, 2009
i loved the interview when i saw it last night on tv. how sweet was rupert. out of all the props on set, he takes home a tie.
‘ranga’ is a term of endearment in australia to describe readheads. it’s not insulting and i don’t think rove was being rude or anything. it’s just the aussie humour coming out.
anonymous, i think dan said that he has heard the word ‘bloodnut’ being used in australia to describe a redhead (another term of endearment!) and said that he will be calling rupert a ranga from now on. i think dan says ‘you will be called that for the rest of your life. live with it grint!’
