August 3rd, 2009, 2:41pm–During promotion for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Rupert Grint along with his co-star Daniel Radcliffe were both interviewed by Amanda Fennelly with movie blog site The Slate. Amanda describes Rupert unassuming and slightly shy. She also notes that he seemed a bit less animated and somewhat more tired than the others but was still happy to talk about his kissing scene, filming Quidditch, and his now famous ice-cream truck. You can listen to both interviews and read more about her experience directly at the site by clicking here. This is also accompanied by a great photo of Amanda and Rupert. View it in our gallery here.

  1. he really looks very tired :(

  2. I connected to that radio interview earlier and I love hearing his voice. A bit gravely. (rocky) Awwww, him and being little. I’m so glad to hear something new about him.

  3. Judging by the shirt he’s wearing, the interview must have taken place on 6th July, i.e. when they were doing the press conference and junket interviews. No wonder they were tired. Plus at that point Rupert had only just recovered from illness, it’s likely that he still had a bit of a sore throat or something.

  4. Sorry for double commenting but I meant to say I love when he says, “Jess.” He’s never awkward acting when it comes to her.

  5. Btw is it just me or Amanda looks like Tao’s long lost twin sister? :D

  6. wow….he’s voice…. its like smooth chocolate. mmmm

  7. by the way, what are the absolute deadlines for the Blag Around the World and Birthday projects?

  8. 7th August, Rozali. :)

  9. ^AH!! I need to scurry! Thanks, Ivana.

  10. :D

  11. Im very sorry but i heard the interview and one moment they’re talkin about love potion which person he would love to give te potion to?? i heard the queen (funny yhh rupert lol) but the interviewer said sumfin like: and the girl you just saw or sumfin like that if someone can tell me it would be very nice :) xxxx

  12. Smooth chocolate…nice! :D And I believe that’s TWICE he’s called Jessie ”Jess”.

  13. SHE may have thought he was less animated and shy, but that is one of the most
    relaxed, non-nervous interviews he’s given. Yes, she does look like Tao’s twin. AND, did anyone notice Rupert picked up a bit of her irish accent while speaking to her? Malachy was slipping through the cracks of Ron’s exterior :P

  14. Listen to Matt and Evanna’s interview (combined), they mention Rupert.

  15. “AND, did anyone notice Rupert picked up a bit of her irish accent while speaking to her? Malachy was slipping through the cracks of Ron’s exterior”

    YES I DID! I was giggling.

  16. Oh, now I know why Tao is not much around!
    She has another job as reporter! :D

    It’s bad enough sometimes to be a foreign. I just can get too much types of variations in the accents, but I can feel that I can’t do any of them well. :D

  17. I love what Evanna said about Rupert.

    And that was definately some irishness at some point in Rupert’s voice.

  18. I would like to think Rupert has overheard our conversations in the forum about how he must speak Irish it least three days a week. AJ would be proud. :)

  19. You can especially hear it in his “had” when he says “It was just like any other flu I had…” SEXAY.

  20. his voice is so soothing. the entire cherrybomb movie you are in a trance because of that voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. Speaking of CB, there’s a new challenge up, guys! ;)

    These are some great interviews! I wonder which movie Tom had a wig on in. Matt had to wear a fat suit. Lol! Yeah, I love what Evanna said about Rupert, too! :)

  22. Tao’s gonna laugh her ass off when she sees the photo — this Amanda girl REALLY looks like her! (except for the fact that Tao is a redhead now) :)
    So, Tao, do you have some Irish ancestry, eh?

  23. aww I loved it when he talked about being the smallest kid, and not being the first pick to play sports, and still being quite small. that was really sweet and cute :) I sure know what’s it like not being chosen to play, but that’s ’cause I sucked (and still suck) at sports lol

  24. like~

  25. Lol wickedjo, i know that aswell, but i’ve always been the smallest one, yeah, im 4’11 so quite short for an 18 years old girl lol, but thats so cute the way he said, that hurts when he’s not being the first pick. In general i’ve always been the last one lol so i wasnt pick but now its over…. hoppefully cuz in a way, i agree wid Rupert, it hurts sometimes…

  26. It’s interesting, when they did the first Harry Potter movie Rupert and Dan were approximately the same height, although Dan was a year younger. But nowadays Rupert is about 4 inches taller than Dan. Looks like Dan stopped growing back in 2005.

  27. How Rupert considers himself small, with those muscles, is a mystery.

  28. The way he says HAD, laws it IS there….

    *fans self*

  29. He said he was the smallest kid in his class, still am quite small…

    Bless him…

  30. “How Rupert considers himself small, with those muscles, is a mystery.”

    And those shoulders!…Guhh! :o

  31. The thing is that Rupert is at a pretty good height. He’s average. Whoever said 5’9/5’10” is short is crazy. It’s just that he’s surrounded by friggin giants (coughJamesOliverPhelpscough). It also doesn’t help that the whole movie business makes a specific look desirable and “normal.” Hmph. I think he looks great. People can hate on his naturally muscular physique. *snap in Z formation*

  32. Actually Rupert is about 5’8″ max. But yeah, James and Oliver are really tall, about 6’3″. The only other HP actor who’s as tall as them is David Thewliss. (if we disregard those who only popped up in one HP movie, like that Igor Karkaroff dude — he’s like 6’5″).

  33. Yeah, I’ll give him about 5’8″ 5’9″, but still. But honestly, if you get his attention just for a second, he looks you straight in the eyes, so don’t see anything else to be measuring him.

    It’s like a spell, he’s a wizard….

  34. Ivana, consider Alfie. He was just a smidge taller than Rupert in GoF, and then by OotP……

  35. Yep, Alfie did sprout quite unexpectedly :D

  36. 5’8 is like what in cm?

  37. 173-174 cm.

  38. Thanks Ivana! Well.. the man is only 3-4 cm taller than me! :) Thats not that tall actualy! :)

  39. These damned height questions are driving me crazy! I am begging someone to measure that man!!! I’ve never seen him in person, but I think he’s 5’9. He’s no taller than that, but no shorter than 5’8. Maybe his width (shoulders) make him appear shorter. That’s still not short, though. Height, eye color and cologne. Please Rupert, set us straight! :D

  40. Isn’t Devon (Seamus) 5’3? I’m 5’3 and Devon looks like he comes up to Rupert in HBP about what I would. I measured out 5’8 and 5’9 on my door in comparison to me and that looks about right.

  41. Well I’ve seen them all in person, I was actually standing no more than five inches away from Rupert and we were almost the same… I’m just under 5’9 (175 cm) and he’s less than an inch shorter than me, so 5’8 is a fair estimate I’d say.
    Daniel is no more than 5’4… apart from being short, he’s also tiny, you know, the opposite of brawny… I guess his shirt size is S, while Rupert’s shirt size must be L.
    Tom Felton is about as tall as me, so he’s not even a full 5’9 — but he looks taller in the pics because he’s so skinny. I guess he weights less than me, and I’m not exactly fat.
    Devon Murray is only 5’2. But he’s cute, in an “awww, little lad” kind of way.
    On the other hand, Jason Isaacs is taller than I expected (and super hot!), and Jim Broadbent is almost 6’2.

  42. You were five inches away from Rupert and you didn’t grab him and kiss him on the mouth? Shame on you Ivana! :D

  43. Man it was raining cats and dogs and he was surrounded by some nasty looking security punks.
    There will be time. ;)

  44. jo have you seen the cherrybomb movie ? (L)
