Swine flu, that is. According to reports, Rupert Grint who has starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe in all the “Harry Potter” films as Ron Weasley the best friend of Harry Potter, has recently come down with a light case of the Swine Flu.
He was ordered off the set of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows” which is currently being filmed. He has received treatment and is no longer contagious, says his publicist.
The filming of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” had to be shuffled a little bit during Grint’s absence. They tested the rest of the cast and crew for Swine Flu,and luckily no one else had it.
Access Hollywood reports that in an interview with BBC’s “Friday Night with Jonathan Ross”, Emma Watson who plays Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” films, said that kissing Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley in Harry Potter) was one of the most uncomfortable filming experiences she’s ever had in her career.
She said, “We did the kiss two weeks ago and it was the most horrible thing I’ve ever had to do.†This is referring to a kiss she has to do with him in “The Deathly Hollows” installment for the franchise, which is currently being filmed.
“Underworld : Rise of The Lycans” star Bill Nighy has been cast to play a role in “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows”. Nighy wouldn’t say which character he’s playing because he wasn’t sure if he was allowed to, but Harry Potter fans think that he may be playing Rufus Scrimgeour the Minister of Magic.
Apparently Nighy had been trying to get a role in Harry Potter for quite sometime
So, while we still await the the epic “Harry Potter 6″ film entitled “The Half – Blooded Prince”, they are currently shooting “Harry Potter 7″ entitled “Harry Potter and the Deadly Hollows Part 1 film which has a release date of November 19,2010.
