Rupert Grint On BBC Radio1 Harry Potter Special And Other Shows!

July 15, 2009, 8:22 PM–Rupert Grint was among the actors who were interviewed today by Edith Bowman, as a part of BBC Radio 1′s Harry Potter special! Edith and her sidekick James also talked to Daniel Radcliffe, Tom Felton, Jason Isaacs and others. Edith called Rupert a “comedic genius”, and praised his performance in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. As for the interview, it’s very funny and revealing — Rupert talks about nicknames he’s been given after coming down swine flu, about his giggling fits, and many other things. After the interview, Edith and James also talked how nice and friendly Rupert was, so I’ve attached that segment to the audio clip as well. If you live in the UK, you can listen to the interview directly on BBC Radio 1 here by selecting “Listen to the latest show” (Rupert’s segment begins around 22 minutes). For the rest of you, I have prepared a downloadable version, so pick it up from our media site here (the very first clip on the page).

Rupert was also on the Scott Mills Show, where he took part in a little quiz — he was asked to name as many famous Harrys as he could think of (and among them, he named Harry Krishna!) Download that super cute clip from our media site here (the third clip on the page). And a few days ago Rupert was interviewed for the Claudia Winkleman’s Arts show on BBC Radio 2. Again, you can either download her HP special directly from the BBC site here, or collect it from our media site (the show is over 30 minutes long, however the Rupert bit is quite short and it’s at the very beginning, after Dan’s interview).

You can also listen to Rupert’s interviews on Real Radio Scotland here and watch him on CBS News here.

Thanks to all of you who have been helping us during this news flood in the past couple of days/weeks — you guys rock!

UPDATE: A really nice profile of Rupert was published in News Scotsman, so read it here. Oh, and in this article, Rupert is complimented on his model-worthy catwalk strut!

UPDATE 2: We have just added a dozen of new reviews to our RR section, so the number of critics praising Rupert’s performance in HBP has already exceeded a hundred! Well done mate, we’re really proud of you.
