November 14th, 2010, 4:56 AM — The cast and crew of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 participated in a new format of press rounds this year that took place on the day after the London Premiere of the Movie. Many fansites from around the world participated in this interviewing Rupert Grint, his co-stars Daniel Radclife, Emma Watson and Tom Felton along with producers David Heyman & David Baron and also the director David Yates.
Our Staffer Karo participated in these on behalf of ICM and we will soon have her coverage up here for you all to hear and read.
Meanwhile, check out Snitchseeker’s coverage of the roundtables in the audio below -
A huge Thank You to everyone at Snitchseeker for sharing these with us.
Mark Williams (Papa Weasley) and Evanna Lynch attended the Oslo premiere of the Deathly Hallows and this is what he said when asked about Rupert -
“I always cheer a little extra on Rupert, since he plays my son in the movies,” says Williams, laughing.
In other news, TF1′s special on the Deathly Hallows has been released, featuring several new clips of the movie. Rupert is interviewed throughout, though the entire video is in French. This can be viewed here.
Rupert recorded a rather lovely message to fans in Taiwan inviting them to join in the final countdown and to enjoy the movie when it releases in their country. You can view this video here, courtesy of MSN Taiwan!
Access Hollywood spoke to Rupert, Dan and Emma spoke about the misinterpretations of Dan’s comments about the horcrux-kiss on ITV’s Daybreak. Rupert also explained why he was on-set during the kiss, and how Emma kept making him laugh during takes. See it here.
Several great reviews of Rupert’s amazing acting and the best aspects of the movie are now making themselves online. So keep a look out on our Rave Reviews page where we will list all of them as and when we get a wind of them.
UPDATE: Several promotional images of Rupert as Ron Weasley are now now in our galleries here and here.

November 04, 2010, 5:55pm–Harry Potter website The Leaky Cauldron has obtained high-res scans from Entertainment Weekly‘s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I spread. In it Rupert Grint talks about moving beyond structured life in Harry Potter, the anticipated kiss between Ron and Hermione and that he always wanted to be an actor. EW takes a look back at Rupert (and his Harry Potter co-stars) in many of their early interviews. We also learn a hilarious moment between Rupert and the late Richard Harris!
At an early an early table reading for The Sorcerer’s Stone, Gint was seated next to the late Richard Harris … In the scene Dumbledore is addressing the student body in the Great Hall … When Harris finished, Grint turned to the legendary actor. “That was quite a good reading,” he said. “I think you’ll be quite good in this part.”
Co-star Helena Bonham Carter described Rupert to be just like Luna Lovegood.
“Rupert’s just delightful, and in his own world,” Bonham Carter said. “He’s a bit like Luna Lovegood, you know? He’s on his own moon.”
David Heyman says that if anything went wrong with any member of the trio, he’d immediately be on a plane or train for them.
Quite frankly the best article I’ve read about the series ending and how the cast and crew feel about the movies and each other. If you didn’t think about tearing up, I don’t know what would make you do so!
You can view all the scans in our gallery here and check the post below for pictures released by EW (they’re in the scans, but much clearer). Hopefully the WB will be sending us high-res soon!

October 24th, 7:24pm–As we are now down to 24 days until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I hits theaters, Yahoo! Movies has released a new behind-the-scenes clip which features old scenes from previous movies and new scenes from Part 1. While there doesn’t seem to be any new Rupert Grint scenes, we do have a clip of him talking about them being on the run. The new clip is entitled “Epic Finale” which we found quite appropriate. Adding earlier scenes really show cases just how epic the series has become! Don’t you agree? Watch the “trailer” below!
