Rupert Grint: Exclusive Wizarding World Press Conference Coverage; And Rupert Covered In Ice Cream?!

Our webmiss,Tao, as well as staffers Jo and AJ, are currently having a bloody good time at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida! They’ve been there to cover the event for us, and are checking in regularly with the rest of the staff. Earlier today, AJ and Jo were in attendance for the press conference with Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe, Tom Felton, and Michael Gambon! So, we’ve got nearly half an hour of press con goodness for your viewing pleasure on our ICMExclusives YouTube channel. It’s split up in three parts; Part One, Part Two and Part Three. Be sure to check back in again later on in the days to come, as I’m sure we’ll be getting more cool stuff to share with you, possibly a little something that is extra awesome. ;) If you’ve attended the grand opening of Wizarding World or went to the park yourself and were lucky enough to have had a Rupert encounter, we’d love to hear from you! Or, if you spy something we may not have posted anywhere yet, you can let us know by emailing us at staff@rupert-grint.us.

Rupert Grint: Wild Target Promotion for today’s release!

June 18, 2010, 12:04 am– Today, Rupert Grint’s film Wild Target is on general release in the UK! The media for this film continues to pour in, and the excitement is mounting. Mymovies.net has posted a new clip. In this clip you can see the scene that occurs around that famous burned-out door. The clip shows Victor (Bill Nighy) attempting to coax Rose (Emily Blunt) out of a room from which she is attempting to escape. Tony (Rupert) shows up and they lead Rose down the stairs blindfolded. There’s a serious gap in communication that leads to hilarious results. The new clip can be viewed here. Also, there’s a new ten second TV spot advertising for the release of Wild Target that can be viewed here. Finally, The AP has a new video up with the trailer and some new interviews with Rupert Grint and Bill Nighy here. Continue reading

Rupert Grint: Updates from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter

June 17, 2010, 3:39 pm– More news from the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Our own AJ was at a press conference this morning where she managed to ask Rupert Grint two questions! He was at a press conference with Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton. Here’s what she has to say:

My first question was regarding his favorite part of the WW. He responded that he liked the pubs.

Second question, I told him that the FANS at Rupert-grint.us wanted to
know if he was excited that his film Wild Target was coming out in the UK
on Friday.

He didn’t know (it was so funny), it was a surprise to him that his movie
was coming out. He said he thought it was today (I said, noooo, tomorrow.)
Dan said something to the effect of them being so busy, that they loose
track of days.
AJ goes on to tell us that she then went on to a press conference with James and Oliver Phelps, Bonnie Wright, Matthew Lewis, and Warwick Davis where she got to include more questions and comments. She even enjoyed some butterbeer! She tells us that she has some great pictures and videos, so keep checking the site!

Here’s a video from GMTV about the park opening which features comments from Rupert as well as other cast members in attendance.

There is also a really EPIC video that shows the cast on stage officially opening the park. There is some magic, some light, and a lot of fanfare. You can check it out here.

Finally, MTV caught up with Rupert at the opening and has a brief interview with him which includes feelings on filming the last scene for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which you can see here.

There is much more to come as Tao, AJ and Jo continue their visit to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Continue reading
