December 1st, 2009, 3:46 AM– While most of us only have to wait a few more days until the release of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince DVD, the first still from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, featuring Rupert Grint and his co-stars Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe has been published by USA Today!

The still from the shoot this past July has been published along with comments from Rupert Grint, David Yates and David Heyman about the production:

“They’re paranoid,” says Grint. “It’s quite a scary world because the Snatchers and Death Eaters are running around everywhere. Harry, Ron and Hermione are just camping out in random places, living rough, in regular clothes.”

Grint adds, grinning: “Me and Dan actually have some stubble.” His facial hair served as a kind of invisibility cloak for the lanky, redheaded Grint, who went unrecognized by fans recently while on location in the Welsh countryside.

You can see the still here in our Gallery! And read the entire article here!

BBC News have spoken to the Harry Potter cast about the ending of the series and this is what Rupert had to say:

“I make the most of it and enjoy it,” he says.
“It is quite scary when this all ends because we’re stepping out into the real world – it is quite a bubble I suppose, we’ve had these films to do every year and it’s become quite a routine.
“I’m definitely going to miss it. It’s been a great 10 years. I am quite keen to move on and see what else is out there.”

Rupert talks about Cherrybomb (and yes, they mention our successful petition!):

“It’s nice because it’s so different,” says Grint. “That’s what attracted me to it – it wasn’t really a conscious thing to move away.
“It was really fun to be on a different set and experience a whole different budget – it was quite a shock. I really enjoyed it and hopefully I will get to do more films like that.”

Rupert also mentions the Prince Harry biopic:

“I think it’s just because I’m ginger they throw me into the frame, but I haven’t really heard anything about it,” he says.

November 29th, 2009, 2:43 PM–Rupert Grint and his Harry Potter co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson were recently interviewed by HP Brazilian site Vira-Tempo about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and and what its been like filming The Deathly Hallows! Rupert talks about Ron’s wardrobe and stunts!

On the Blu-ray and DVD release, you get put through paces by the stunt guys for the extra features. What was that like? And is that something you asked for specifically or did they just say you’re going to be doing this as a DVD extra?

Rupert: It was in preparation for the Quidditch and flying scenes because I’m not really the most athletic person. I didn’t know if it would help but I got a bit of trampoline training to get my fitness up and it just gives you an idea of what it’s like to fly. And I think it was quite helpful and it was good fun. And the whole process of the Quidditch is quite uncomfortable to film but it looked really cool in the end.

And are you on friendly terms with the wardrobe department? They have put you through the wringer over the last six years, haven’t they?

Rupert: Ron has had some pretty unusual outfits. It’s the same kind of wardrobe in this next one, which is colourful, homemade knitwear and there’s this quite amazing big wedding outfit as well. I quite like it, though. It gets you back and gets you into the character.

Emma Watson talks about Ron and Hermione’s relationship and how well she and Rupert worked together bouncing off ideas for their character romance storyline.

Hermione and Ron obviously have a bit of a romance in the movie. Were you excited for this storyline?

EMMA WATSON: Yes, I was very excited. It might not be the most obvious storyline in a way. I think a lot of fans always saw Hermione and Harry together, but I think that Hermione and Ron are very strange, but kind of perfect for each other. They’re very different, but you know, they make each other laugh. Ron lightens her up. Hermione’s quite a serious character, so I think they’re good for each other.

It seems that it would be more fun to play Hermione when you’re in a scene with Ron, because he looks like he’s having a good time?

EMMA WATSON: Definitely. Yes. I like doing scenes with Rupert because we get to kind of bounce off each other and they tend to be the funny ones.

Now that you’ve seen the film, what’s your favorite storyline to watch, or what are some of your favorite moments?

EMMA WATSON: My favorite moments are Ron playing Quidditch. I just think he’s hysterical. Also, Ron taking a love potion. I think he’s really funny, so for me those moments are my favorite.

Thanks to Vira-Tempo for the translations.
