» July 16 by Malene in Rupert News with 14 Comments

July 16, 2012, 11:43pm– Rupert Grint will be carrying the Olympic Torch on 25 July from Middlesex University! BBC News has released an article where they specify the final leg in London before the ceremony kicks off on 27 July! BBC writes that the relay will go through every London borough before the cauldron is lit at the opening ceremony.

The most important day for us Rupert Grint fans will take place on Wednesday 25 July, and the highlights of that day includes:

Wednesday, 25 July – Olympic badminton silver medallist Nathan Robertson carries the flame outside the sport’s London 2012 venue, Wembley Arena. England ’66 World Cup winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks takes the Wembley Stadium leg. Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint takes the torch at Middlesex University and the last torchbearer of the day is Daley Thompson.

We will of course update with pictures of Rupert carrying the torch and more info about the event whenever it becomes available!

UPDATE: time-series.co.uk have added several details about Rupert‘s relay from Middlesex University in the Burroughs, Hendon. It is definitely worth a visit since they have planned a great day for all spectators:

Community and student music groups will perform from 12-2pm while the torch stops off at the university at 12.47pm.
The torch will then continue its journey through the borough at 1.47pm.

UPDATE #2: Great news! We will be able to hold an international “Rupert Grint Torch Relay” party together! It is possible to watch the torch relay LIVE right HERE!

    This is great. You won’t believe it, but the other day I heard on the radio about a woman who won being part in the relay in a competition. And I was thinking by myself: How cool would it be if Rupert got to carry the torch too? He was part in this Britain tourist promo video after all, so it kind of fits that he carries the torch.
