Harry Potter's Rupert Grint Has Swine Flu

HarryPotterRupertGrint.jpg

Just a week and a half before Rupert Grint's long awaited movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, hits theaters on July 15, his reps confirmed that the 20-year-old actor who plays Ron Weasley has a "mild bout" of the swine flu.

But don't fear... Rupert is recovering and is back to work on the seventh film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. He had to take a few days off, but is officially not contagious anymore.

He's also well enough to attend the London premiere of his movie on Tuesday along with his costars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.

J-14 hopes Rupert gets 100% well soon. Post your "Get Well" messages to Rupert below!

I'm so sorry you had to get infected with it! You so don't deserve it! But I'm really happy to hear you're getting better. You're one of the best in the Harry Potter movies and no one on Earth could play Ron better than you!

Rest up so you can get better (cuz you and Emma have to have your Ron and Hermione kiss in Part 2 and I've been waiting for that for a long time!)

I wish I could meet you, you seem like an amazing person!

I hope you get better soon.. I would hate to have it.

NO!!! NOT RUPERT!

Get well soon!

Seriously, my username is his character's daughter.

He actually looks more like Ron than Dan and Emma do Harry and Hermione.

He's one of the funniest characters!

I ran into a glass door while I was reading one of his lines in the Chamber of Secrets (for the third time).

RUPERT!!

Oh my gosh....I'm going to scream that in public tomorrow. That will confirm everyone's belief that I can't get any more addicted to Harry Potter.

Just a note to anyone reading this: NEVER read "J.K. ROWLING The Wizard Behind Harry Potter," by Marc Shapiro. It had a lot of incorrect information, and it's terribly written. It's been published four times, and all he does in pile the information into the book. It's not based in chronological order, but in subject order.

Ronald Bilius Weasley

Rupert Grint

This is bad, and his birthday's next month.

RUPERT!

I hope you feel better!
I love you so much, and all of the HP cast!
I love all of the movies and books and I am extremely excited about Half Blood Prince!
I was even more excited when I found out that Deathly Hollows is being made into two movies!
So much more details and action, having to put it into two!
AND MORE SUSPENSE, but I read the books so I know what happens.
Well I hope you feel better, and it looks like you'll be going back to work soon, showing how dedicated you are to RONALD WEASLEY!

#1GryffindorFan on July 6, 2009 1:48 PM

OMG!!! I don't even like Rupert very much, but I'm still sad that he got the Swine Flu!!! I can't believe that out of all people, that he was the one to get it!!! It sucks that he got it right before the Harry Potter movie premiere in London!!! I'M GLAD THAT YOU ARE GETTING BETTER RUPERT!!! LET'S HOPE THAT IT NEVER COMES BACK!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HARRY POTTER!!!!


P.S.- I'm glad that it wasn't Daniel Radcliffe that got it. He plays the main character and if he would of gotten it, they would of had to stop filming the whole movie until he got better and Daniel probably would of missed the Harry Potter Premiere in London. I'M REALLY GLAD THAT DANIEL HASN'T GOTTEN YET AND I HOPE HE DOESN'T!!!

hope you're feelin betta!!
