May 23, 2009, 6:56 AM–Many thanks to Kathy for discovering this article that we have somehow missed. In it, Robert Pattinson shared his experiences from the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire set, and commented on what it was like working with Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and the rest of HP regulars. Robert said:

“I didn’t notice the transition to being accepted, but they are all really nice people. [...] We did a bonding week where we made fools of ourselves doing lots of improvising. I paired up with Rupert a lot.
“All the cast are really nice but they are always busy, always, always on set.”

Also, the recently released Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince clip has generated lots of positive buzz, especially for Rupert. This article especially made us cheer:

“The first clip, a full-length scene dubbed I’m in love with her, involves a somewhat loopy Ron Weasley professing his love for Romilda Vane to a decidedly befuddled Harry. (That Rupert Grint has really filled out, hasn’t he? Kid looks like a linebacker – or at least a very fit placekicker.)”

Well spotted indeed, Hollywood.com! We couldn’t agree more!
Thanks Yolanda for sharing.

March 8, 2009, 3:10PM–Many thanks to Sally A Edwards for informing us that they have added a trailer / making of the new issue on the BLAG website. It shows a shot from their Rupert Grint feature as well as two outtake shots! You can view it here on their site (it is a huge file and it takes a little while to load, but it’s worth the wait), or alternatively, here on Youtube. It’s awesome! (Just pause at 0:33 and enjoy!) Thanks to Laura we added some screen shots in our gallery here , here and here!

Speaking of Youtube, Jo has recently discovered an old Rupert interview (from the “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” era) conducted by Hollywood.com, aptly named “How to make it in Hollywood”! View it here, and we’ll be adding it to our media site soon.

Also, our beloved gallery is up and running again. To celebrate this, we have just uploaded lots of HQ images of Rupert Grint at various events. First of all, we have a new bunch of images from the Hand/Feet/Wand ceremony afterparty, courtesy of I Heart Watson — you can view them starting from here. Also, thanks to IHW, we also have some HQ behind-the-scenes photos and stills from the “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” set; view them starting from here. We’ll be adding more soon!

Finally, don’t forget to explore the FanArt section in our forum: you will find awesome banners, icons, cartoons, drawings and animations there, created by Neglo, Laura, Katie, Dove, Lilly, Napchic and others! Don’t miss Laura’s March calendar here!

UPDATE: I have just uploaded these new videos to our Media site (in avi and mov formats): you can download BLAG trailer here, and CoS Hollywood.tv interview here.

December 28, 2008, 7:20PM–Our newly refurbished Rave Reviews section has just been updated with 15 old/new reviews praising Rupert Grint‘s portrayal of Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! Here are just a few samples:

“Put your hand on my waist,” she [McGonagall] demands frostily. The expression on Ron’s face at this point is clear: He’d just as soon perform the fox trot with Medusa. It’s a wonderful mark of this movie that a teenager’s humiliation can pack just as much firepower as a life-and-death battle with scary monsters.” (Washington Post)

“Grint especially seems to be getting more and more comfortable onscreen.” (IGN Movies)

“Grint’s face instantly reflects Ron’s torn feelings about Hermione…” (SF Gate)

“And Grint’s rubbery charm is intact.” (Newsday)

Read the rest here (starting from Washington Post); and we will be adding many more reviews soon!
