September 5, 2009, 5:33pm–A seller on Ebay has found a photo of Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets director Chris Columbus when the trio were first introduced to the world as Harry, Ron and Hermione in the Harry Potter franchise. You may see the photo in our gallery here. We are currently unsure that the autograph is real, however the seller has great feedback which gives them credibility.

July 15, 2009, 12:51 am– MSNBC has a new article on Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe, and Emma Watson, citing how they’ve grown up and managed to stay out of trouble. The writers also provide some “friendly advice” for each of them. Here’s what they say for Rupert:

1. Hook up with the smart British comedians. 2. Be a leading man, but subvert the paradigm. 3. Talk to Professor Snape.

To elaborate on the last one slightly, MSNBC offered Rupert some good words of wisdom about taking a Hollywood stereotype like the British Bad Guy and run with it in the style of Alan Rickman.

Thanks Suzeeq!

January 24, 2009, 1:14 PM–While we await the latest news, I have discovered some more great reviews of Rupert Grint‘s previous movie roles. Thus I have just updated our Rave Reviews section with six reviews of “Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone” (starting from NYC Movies), and seven reviews of “Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets” (starting from Movie Eye). Here’s just a few quotes from the COS era:

“Reprising their roles, Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson are able to once again find that camaraderie that is essential to their characters, with Grint stealing the show with his facial expressions and mannerisms.”

“After narrowly escaping with earnest friend Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint, great fun again) in Ron’s dad’s flying, turquoise Ford Anglia, Harry’s adventure begins.”

“Rupert Grint, who plays Harry’s best pal Ron Weasley, also had a growth spurt between films, but he remains the everykid who grounds the story in earthy good humor.”

UPDATE: Thanks to Dunigan for letting us know that the rumour that a new “Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince” trailer would be attached to Inkheart (in the US at least) was indeed false. The trailer that was played before Inkhart was the one released a few months ago, with the remarkable scene of Ron’s poisoning in it.

January 16, 2009, 6:30PM–It has been long known that we at ICM have an insatiable appetite for any articles praising our favourite actor. Therefore, while we await the Cherrybomb reviews to start flooding, it never hurts to read more rave reviews of Rupert Grint‘s previous movie roles. I have just added seven new/old reviews of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (starting from Film Threat), plus a few articles to all other pages of our Rave Reviews section. Here’s a selection of these new quotes:

“Rupert Grint brings the right wisecracking Everyboy flavor to Harry’s pal Ron…” (Sorcerer’s Stone)

“Grint, with his rubbery face, displays great comic timing as Ron, who makes up in spell casting what he believes he lacks in social status.” (Sorcerer’s Stone)

“Because of its tricky subject matter, Goblet of Fire requires a careful balance of doom and gloom as well as adolescent frolic and a dash of nifty special effects. [...] Especially with the latter, the tone is just right, captured humorously by Ron Weasley – dealing with dating, hand-me-downs, and friendly jealousy.” (Goblet of Fire)

“In fact, the action sequences aren’t half as interesting as the humorous awkwardness of our young heroes as they navigate the dangers of being 14. Radcliffe and Grint have some electric sequences as anger and jealousy threaten Harry and Ron’s friendship…” (Goblet of Fire)

… and my favourite one:

“The chap can handle a close-up. We see him register the obvious disconnect as his teary-eyed mom utters the mantra of the minister’s wife: ‘We’re God’s ambassadors – we show the world a smiling face.’ Or the quiet disappointment as his father buries himself in bird books. Shorup-ship-see, shorup-ship-see – he tries to teach Ben the skylark’s call. Ben stands there, quiet, pained, aching to break free.” (Driving Lessons)
