July 15, 2009, 8:22 PM–Rupert Grint was among the actors who were interviewed today by Edith Bowman, as a part of BBC Radio 1′s Harry Potter special! Edith and her sidekick James also talked to Daniel Radcliffe, Tom Felton, Jason Isaacs and others. Edith called Rupert a “comedic genius”, and praised his performance in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. As for the interview, it’s very funny and revealing — Rupert talks about nicknames he’s been given after coming down swine flu, about his giggling fits, and many other things. After the interview, Edith and James also talked how nice and friendly Rupert was, so I’ve attached that segment to the audio clip as well. If you live in the UK, you can listen to the interview directly on BBC Radio 1 here by selecting “Listen to the latest show” (Rupert’s segment begins around 22 minutes). For the rest of you, I have prepared a downloadable version, so pick it up from our media site here (the very first clip on the page).
Rupert was also on the Scott Mills Show, where he took part in a little quiz — he was asked to name as many famous Harrys as he could think of (and among them, he named Harry Krishna!) Download that super cute clip from our media site here (the third clip on the page). And a few days ago Rupert was interviewed for the Claudia Winkleman’s Arts show on BBC Radio 2. Again, you can either download her HP special directly from the BBC site here, or collect it from our media site (the show is over 30 minutes long, however the Rupert bit is quite short and it’s at the very beginning, after Dan’s interview).
You can also listen to Rupert’s interviews on Real Radio Scotland here and watch him on CBS News here.
Thanks to all of you who have been helping us during this news flood in the past couple of days/weeks — you guys rock!
UPDATE: A really nice profile of Rupert was published in News Scotsman, so read it here. Oh, and in this article, Rupert is complimented on his model-worthy catwalk strut!
UPDATE 2: We have just added a dozen of new reviews to our RR section, so the number of critics praising Rupert’s performance in HBP has already exceeded a hundred! Well done mate, we’re really proud of you.

“Héhéh Jason gushing over Rupert’s buff body. Even he knows the boy is hot.”
What?!
Vanessa you’ll have to listen to the Edith Bowman show to hear that.
I fockin’ laughed so hard at the nickname part!
My god…!
Rupert, please do some more voice-over work. Your voice is soothing like silk!
When does Jason start talking about Rupes? I don’t feel like listening to the whole thing.
I posted the time above somewhere.
KC, Jason talks abt Rupert around the 1 1/2 hour mark. Yep, I;ve listened to that part more than once.
I love how Jason says that Rupert has great genes. Can’t believe said that she didn’t notice Rupert’s broad shoulders and pecs. That’s all I would be looking at.
What are pecs?!?!
KC can’t you google? LOL
I googled it last night, and it had something to do with the chest. I think…
Who is singing at the beginning? “I’m on Fire” or something like that?
I’m going to have that song stuck in my head…
Actually..I’m listing to it as I write this…did anyone keep record of the songs? I’m loving what I’m hearing.
This radio thing is soo long xD. I would like this on my iPod. The whole show.
Great interviews. I really loved it.
