July 17, 2009, 4:29 PM–Promotion for Rupert Grint’s new film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince continues, and we have a collection of interviews:
First, Rupert Grint, now a veteran (!), talks to NY Daily News about the Harry Potter cast not going crazy:

“They’re waiting for you to become the stereotypical child actor and go off the wheels a bit,” says “Potter” veteran Rupert Grint, 20. “But I’m not planning on it. We’re too busy to go too crazy, anyway, because we’re filming most of the year.”

You can read the rest of their report here.

In an interview with Now Magazine, Tom Felton mentions Rupert Grint and co-star Daniel Radcliffe:

‘When you speak to Rupert [Grint], he’s just like Ron – he’s a nice, funny guy. And Dan [Radcliffe] is just like Harry – a friendly geek!’

Read the rest here.

And finally, Emma Watson revealed a lot about filming the kissing scene for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows during an interview on Oprah.com:

Emma: It was, it was…ugh, it was hard. It was really hard. We were both in the same boat, though. We both were really struggling with the idea of having to kiss each other, because our relationship is so platonic. He’s like my brother, but we did it and we were happy.
KF: Did you have a little pep talk beforehand?
Emma: Yeah, we talked about it before. It was nice that we were in the same boat, as I said before. We both were just like, “Oh god, this is horrible.”
KF: Did you all have mints or gum on hand?
EW: We both agreed that we would clean our teeth, but that was it.

March 31, 2009, 1:58 PM–One of the UK’s leading film magazines, Total Film has just published a new in-depth feature on “Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince”. Although there are no new photos, you’ll be delighted to read new interviews with the cast and crew, namely Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Tom Felton and the director David Yates.

I should mention that there are only a few Rupert quotes: however please remember that he was featured in the last month’s issue of Total Film — if you missed that interview, read it here. So, I suppose we should feel honoured because Rupert got a separate interview while the rest of the cast were only featured in a general Half-Blood Prince related article.

UPDATE: Thanks to Laura for discovering a brand new and quite awesome review of Cherrybomb, published by DVD Times. Here are just a few excerpts:

“Seen solely from the point of view of a teenage drama however and even there Cherrybomb plays very well indeed. It’s got a dream teen cast – all the main leads are superb and, although none are native to the province, each acquit themselves almost flawlessly as far as Northern Ireland accents are concerned.”

“Younger audiences however will I’m sure, if they are anything like the characters in the film, take this all in their stride and in a mature fashion, and feel rather more comfortable than myself with the sight of young heartthrobs like Rupert Grint, Robert Sheehan and Kimberley Nixon running around semi-clothed for fair portions of the film.”

Read the entire thing here, and we’ll be adding it to our Rave Reviews shortly!
