December 1st, 2009, 3:46 AM– While most of us only have to wait a few more days until the release of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince DVD, the first still from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, featuring Rupert Grint and his co-stars Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe has been published by USA Today!

The still from the shoot this past July has been published along with comments from Rupert Grint, David Yates and David Heyman about the production:

“They’re paranoid,” says Grint. “It’s quite a scary world because the Snatchers and Death Eaters are running around everywhere. Harry, Ron and Hermione are just camping out in random places, living rough, in regular clothes.”

Grint adds, grinning: “Me and Dan actually have some stubble.” His facial hair served as a kind of invisibility cloak for the lanky, redheaded Grint, who went unrecognized by fans recently while on location in the Welsh countryside.

You can see the still here in our Gallery! And read the entire article here!

BBC News have spoken to the Harry Potter cast about the ending of the series and this is what Rupert had to say:

“I make the most of it and enjoy it,” he says.
“It is quite scary when this all ends because we’re stepping out into the real world – it is quite a bubble I suppose, we’ve had these films to do every year and it’s become quite a routine.
“I’m definitely going to miss it. It’s been a great 10 years. I am quite keen to move on and see what else is out there.”

Rupert talks about Cherrybomb (and yes, they mention our successful petition!):

“It’s nice because it’s so different,” says Grint. “That’s what attracted me to it – it wasn’t really a conscious thing to move away.
“It was really fun to be on a different set and experience a whole different budget – it was quite a shock. I really enjoyed it and hopefully I will get to do more films like that.”

Rupert also mentions the Prince Harry biopic:

“I think it’s just because I’m ginger they throw me into the frame, but I haven’t really heard anything about it,” he says.
