In a new interview with Ain't It Cool News, Rupert Grint discusses both the upcoming movie Order of the Phoenix and filming Half-Blood Prince. Concerning the fifth movie, Rupert talks about one of the disappointments he faced:
"I was a bit disappointed when Quidditch didn't make it, but I mean... it's such a big book, there's so much to fit in I can understand why they pared it down.
But I'm kinda hoping it'll be in the next one."
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix comes out in theaters on July 11th.
UPDATE: Ain't It Cool News also has a report from this morning's press conferences with the OOTP cast and crew. It contains information about the fifth and sixth movies, but more interestingly, Book 7. In the original draft of the screenplay Order of the Phoenix, they had decided to remove a character from the story. Rowling read over the screenplay and said “I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” that they were free to do whatever they liked, of course, but "if you make a 7th movie you’ll have tied your hands." The report is spoiler-free for those concerned but contains theories from the author.
UPDATE #2: A second interview was also conducted with David Yates. Yates talks about the new movie and the sixth movie as well. In the interview he discusses the relationship between Dumbledore and Harry:
"It’s a very different dynamic this time because there’s a lot more between Dumbledore and Harry. I think we’ll be alright on this one. I’ve got a good feeling."
He has also said that he has "talked about" coming back for the Deathly Hallows movie as well.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson recently did an interview with The Telegraph speaking about the end of the movie and book franchise, as well as some other topics. Dan discusses whether or not he's had a normal childhood, saying:
"I don't feel I've missed out on anything. Perhaps I've grown up slightly faster than some other people my age simply because from the age of 11 I've been surrounded by more adults than kids. I've had a working relationship with adults and that does change how you develop and mature. You possibly do grow up slightly faster.
"The other day, somebody said the last Harry Potter film will probably be released in 2010. I don't know how true that is, but if it's the case then that will have been 10 years of my life and that's a huge chunk, so I'll be sad because it will be the end of an era in a way. But I equally imagine it will be quite exciting to be out of that world."
Also, This Is London reports Dan will gross $50 million for the next two films together.
Don't forget the trio will be on Richard & Judy today. We'll have a video online shortly afterwards. EDIT: Looks like it didn't air. We'll update you with more soon.

Joshua Lodge, a former friend of Rupert Grint, has denied allegations of sexual assaulting an underage girl at Rupert's 18th birthday party last year.
In response to the charges against Joshua, Rupert issued the following statement: "I am totally appalled and disgusted by the actions of Joshua Lodge. I am 100% behind the victim."
Lodge, 19, was cautioned by the police for the offense. This means his name will remain on the sexual offenders list for the next two years.

Two new articles have been released that focus on the final two films in the Harry Potter series. The first article from the Winnipeg Sun is a look at actors Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, and how they have grown up without much incident through the first six films. Producer David Heyman, director David Yates and actress Imelda Staunton all praised the trio in the interview, and Heyman credited Chris Columbus with doing an extraordinary job with initially casting them. Radcliffe also addressed just how committed he is to these films:
"So, to me, it's just about letting people know that I'm incredibly serious and passionate about this -- this series of films -- and how much they mean to me. If you've been involved in something for more than seven years now, you want to be able to talk about it articulately and explain why you love it, explain why you loved being involved in it so much."
The second article from the Edmonton Sun addresses the mood of Half-Blood Prince, and how different it will be from Deathly Hallows. Producer David Heyman said that humor in the sixth film will be "slightly warmer," but Radcliffe noted he can't wait to get to the more darker tone of the seventh and final film.
Thanks to Taylor for sending this in!

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint were all named some of the top earning "20 under 25" stars according to Forbes magazine. Dan took the top honors for the male actors, landing the countdown at number six, racking in $15 million. Emma came in 15th with $4 million along with co-star Rupert, closely following at number 16. The top-earning actor on the list, Harry Potter alter-ego Daniel Radcliffe, 18, earned $15 million. That's more than performers twice his age, like Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock, who earned $14 million and $10 million, respectively, made over the same period. The Potter franchise catapulted Radcliffe's co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint to the list with $4 million apiece. This summer's fifth installment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, was the second highest-grossing film of the year (edged out by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End), raking in $938 million worldwide. The trio are already filming the follow-up, Half-Blood Prince. E! Entertainment will have a one-hour special on this countdown on Saturday, December 22nd, at 6 PM EST.

The Sunday Mirror reported earlier today that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has written a story that is set to become a mini-movie used at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter when it opens in late 2009 or early 2010.
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are said to shoot the mini-movie prior to initial filming of Deathly Hallows. The article stated:
"They are also working on extra sequences and clips which will be part of the rides."
Rowling has reportedly been involved throughout the process. Please treat this as a rumor for now as The Mirror is not the most reliable news source.

The same site that released interviews with Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson now has posted their interview with Rupert Grint. In it, Rupert talks about the funniest moments filming the movie:
Getting my bum cast. They were making a chair for the broomstick to make it more comfortable and have my shape. I was wearing these skinny trousers and I had to sit on this chair and they managed the exact shape of my bum. They turned it into a really comfortable chair.
Also The Weasley house when we burned that down. That was an exciting part. We were standing quite close to it, a burning building, and it was quite scary and I think it got a bit out of control. That was a lot of fun.

There are two new interviews online this morning that each interview a Weasley sibling.
The first one is from The London Evening Standard with Bonnie Wright. Among other things, she talks about how to survive the Potter set after all these years:
'In a banqueting scene, you must never be filmed actually eating,' she says very seriously.
Otherwise you'll have to keep on for the sake of continuity. The food gets cold and stale, and you start to feel really sick.' (Especially if the director is David Yates, notorious for his numerous retakes.) You have to make sure the spoon only goes as far as your lips.'
Meanwhile, The Telegraph spoke to Rupert Grint. He dished on the big kiss with Emma and his dating life:
"I've never been seriously involved with anyone. I've certainly never been in love. I've always preferred to keep things casual," he said.
"It's not that I find it hard to meet girls – they do come up and chat me up from time to time. Sometimes I'm interested, I tend not to go for the prettier ones. I prefer the quirkier types."

Of particular interest was Dan's revelation that "there is a Quidditch element to one of the rides." He also talks about Nagini's role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
In the interview, Emma admits she would choose Ron over Harry, and Rupert talks more about his ice cream van and Swine flu.

Fans joined forces to start a petition for the release of Cherrybomb--a film starring Rupert Grint--and succeeded. As the BBC reports, the film has found a distributor and will be released sometime in 2010.
Rupert Grint was thrilled.
I'm delighted by the huge support the film has already received on the official Facebook page and other sites on the web and am so grateful to my fans in particular, who have travelled the world to support the film at festivals and preview screenings."

MTV has released another article from their recent visit to the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This time we learn about Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Tom Felton's musical tastes for filming:
"Lots and lots of Radiohead. Loads of stuff. I often come back to stuff like Radiohead and Hope of the States for those harder scenes."
Based on recent, early morning experience, co-star Tom Felton confirmed Radcliffe's pre-shoot music obsession. "Daniel loves it in the makeup room," Felton said. "He thumps it out — we're talking 6 in the morning — some '60s ska/punk band. It's like, 'All right, man!' He loves it."

The Telegraph has a new interview with Potter actor Rupert Grint, who talks all about his favorite places to stay when travelling and his worst holiday experiences:
Q: And the best hotel you’ve stayed in?
A: Each year when the cast of Harry Potter stay in New York City for press interviews and the premieres, we stay at Essex House, an Art Deco hotel right on Central Park. My room had a great view of it. The first time we stayed there was not long after 9/11, so that was really eerie. The staff get to know us well because of our repeat visits and it’s a good location for sightseeing or shopping – not that our schedules allow for much downtime. For us, the best bit about our room is obviously the minibar.

EDIT: Rupert Grint's agency has contacted Rupert-Grint.us again to let them know that the actor is NOT confirmed to attend the theme park opening. There was a misunderstanding. We apologize for the misinformation, but we'll keep you updated!
Though it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise (Universal will undoubtedly want to make a big PR splash by having most of the main Potter cast attend), Rupert-Grint.us has confirmed with Rupert's reps that he will attend the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.
We've learned previously that the Phelps twins, Bonnie Wright, and Tom Felton are all set to attend the park's opening as well.
We'll take an educated guess now and assume that Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson will also attend.

Movieline.com has disclosed a new list of the top grossing actors of 2009. The article notes Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint all individually out-earned actor George Clooney.
On Rupert and Emma: "The young actors each took home $30 million for the two-part franchise finale Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
On Dan: "The Potter star made $40 million for Hallows. Has there been a more radically life-changing casting of an unknown? Maybe Al Pacino in The Godfather? Help me understand."

Rupert Grint is using his artistic ability to benefit Keech Hospice Care's adult and children's hospices. The Potter actor is known to enjoy drawing and painting and has created an elaborate, colored butterfly sketch.
Grint’s artwork will join the creations of many other celebrities including Coldplay, Theo Walcott and Fearne Cotton. The special group of paintings, named 'The Chrysalis Collection,' will be auctioned off on the eBay in March. Keech fundraiser Laura Devine said:
"We are delighted Rupert has chosen to support his local hospice charity, especially because many of the children we care for are big fans of the Harry Potter star."
"Rupert's masterpiece features many faces inside the butterfly's wings, each with their own quirky expression and unique character – a true Harry Potter creation that will have the fans thrilled!"
The auction will run from March 19th to 28th and there will be a public exhibition at the Stockwood Discovery Centre in Luton.

In a new interview Rupert Grint, the actor who plays Harry Potter’s loyal friend Ron Weasley, talks about his past, current and future projects.
Rupert has called Leavesden Studios his home away from home for half of his life and will be sad to finish the Potter series in the coming weeks.
"We haven't got long left. Just the final parts of the second part of the film. It'll be strange saying goodbye. I've loved every minute of Harry Potter. Yes, it'll be quite sad to see it go. But I'm also looking forward to being a bit more free and seeing what else comes along."
While he has been in a few films outside of Potter already with Thunderpants, Driving Lessons and Cherry Bomb, Rupert has other films scheduled for release in near future. The Potter actor also talked of how he has a very close family who have enjoyed some of the 'perks' of his success by traveling all over the world with him for premieres and promotional tours.

We reported yesterday that the cast and crew had finished filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We found out thanks to actor Warwick Davis, who plays Flitwick and Griphook.
Today, Warwick took to his Twitter again to reveal some other cool information about the final day on set - Rupert Grint brought his ice cream truck for the cast and crew to enjoy. You can see it parked on set at this link.
Warwick says:
For the last day on 'HP', Rupert 'Mr Whippy' Grint arrived in his ice cream van & served up 99s for cast & crew. It brought a smile to everyones face on what was a very emotional day. It was a thrill to see a teaser for 'Deathly Hallows' too. :)
We wonder what teaser Warwick is referring to? Our guess it was either the MTV Movie Awards montage or the new trailer we expect will arrive in theaters later this month.

In another set of interviews, this time with The Guardian, the Phelps twins and Rupert Grint share stories of meeting people in the street, auditioning for new roles and experiences they've shared on set.
Of note, James and Oliver Phelps spoke on how it was decided which twin would be George Weasley and which one would be Fred:
Even when it came to casting them, there seems to have been a temptation to see them as one unit. At first read-through of the script on set, James and Oliver still didn't know which Weasley they would be. "The casting director said, 'You're kidding, right?'," says Oliver. "She went over to speak to Chris Columbus (the director) and J.K. Rowling. I like to think there was a lengthy discussion about who was who, but she came back and said: 'James, you're Fred; Oliver you're George."
Also, Rupert shares his insight on the years of filming the 'Potter' series, from casting through to the final days on set. Rupert spoke of that emotional day, saying:
"At first," he says. "And I wasn't expecting to. But.." He lets himself think about it. "It was when I saw Dan crying." He shakes his head. "Then it really hit me. I'd never seen him that upset. It was just really, really raw."

Update: A video of the interview with Rupert can be seen here.
While attending the Virgin Media's V Festival in Hylands Park this past weekend, Rupert Grint states he is still trying to adjust to life post 'Potter'.
"It's going to take a while to really sink in - it was quite a shock really. It all seemed to end quite suddenly but now the film's out it is kind of closure and I'm excited to move on."
Rupert also states that he has been spending a lot of time with the Weasley twin actors, James and Oliver Phelps as well as trying to keep in contact with his other 'Potter' co-stars from time to time.
To try and keep himself hidden from getting recognized in public, Rupert says he wears a hoodie, which zips up all the way, and he has also tried various masks in the past.

Creative Director Scott Sternberg photographs Harry Potter stars, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton, as they don the Fall 2011 collection attire for a new 'Band of Brothers' fashion campaign.
These incredible photos of Rupert and Tom were shot using a Polaroid camera to give it a rustic charm. The article, from Rolling Stone Magazine, describes the looks as though they were walking onto a post-modern movie set: "gorgeous men and women in cleverly subversive preppy gear find themselves in reliably unusual settings."
Previous year's ad campaigns featured stars such as Kirsten Dunst, James Marsden, Dave Franco, Marisa Tomei and Andrew Garfield.

Postman Pat, the iconic British "post man" of the 1981 BBC One stop-motion animated series, is getting his own movie. What's more, Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint will be providing his voice for the film.
Says Grint, "I used to watch Postman Pat when I was a small boy. My brother and sisters all did at some stage." Also lending their voices for the movie are Potter alums Jim Broadbent (Horace Slughorn) and David Tennant (Barty Crouch Jr.). The movie is about an average British post man who achieves overnight fame due to his taking part in a televised talent contest, and will release in 2013.

Here is a real treat for all of the Rupert Grint fans out there (and there are quite a few of you). A new music video has been released by Ed Sheeran, a singer/songwriter, with his latest hit titled, 'Lego House.'
This brilliantly made video features Rupert as an obsessed fan of Ed's: lip-syncing the song, dressing like him, pretending Ed is in the room with him, and all kinds of things that obsessed fans do.
Do you know of any obsessed Rupert fans? It's a great twist, and a great video. Enjoy!

Rupert Grint has been extremely active in the art for charity category lately. A few days ago, we reported on a piece of art Rupert painted to benefit the 'Prince's Trust' charity, and today we found out that Rupert painted an elephant!
Along with several other celebrities, Rupert has painted an elephant (which you can see here) to support the Asian Elephant Foundation and the proceeds will go to the said foundation as well as the Wildlife Reserves Singapore. The funds will pay for elephant hospitals and land for elephants to roam the wild.
The elephant Rupert painted will be displayed in Singapore for the Elephant Parade, the largest open-air art exhibition dedicated solely to saving the Asian Elephant.
Keep up the great work Rupert!

Thanks to our friends at Rupert-Grint.US, the trailer for Rupert Grint's new movie Into the White is now available online at the Norweigan website, vg.no.
Earlier this month, the film was shown at the Stockholm International Film Festival as part of the 'Work in Progress' section, which took place at Filmhuset, Bio Mauritz.
The film was formerly titled, 'Comrade,' but was then changed to its present title. The film looks very promising and we will soon get the chance to see the first post-Potter film for Rupert.
We will add the video clip of the trailer as soon as we can.

Once a year, Heat Magazine publishes a list of the UK's richest "30 under 30". For the second year a row, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has held the top spot.
Dan earned a whopping 25 million pounds for Deathly Hallows Parts One & Two, bringing his estimated worth to over 51 million pounds. Co-stars Emma Watson & Rupert Grint made slightly less, and this year hold the 4th & 5th spots, respectively, both dropping one spot from last year.
Emma & Rupert made room for another Harry Potter alum, Twilight star Robert Pattinson, who came in a number 3 this year with an estimated worth of over 24 million pounds.
You can check out where the rest of your favorite UK stars ranked, including Keira Knightley, Joss Stone & Emily Blunt, right here.

While visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios a couple of weeks ago for the Home Entertainment Harry Potter Celebration event, Rupert Grint spoke to MTV News regarding the revelation that author J.K. Rowling made regarding the possible death of Ron Weasley.
Many of the fans of the Harry Potter series had wondered if one of the trio would be killed during the final battle, in fact, MuggleNet took a close look at this in the book, What will Happen in Harry Potter 7; however, the fact remains that in the end, each of the trio survived.
During an interview featured on the recently released Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 Blu-ray between Dan Radcliffe and J.K. Rowling, Ms. Rowling stated that she had considered killing off the beloved character of Ronald Weasley. When asked if Rupert heard this revelation, he stated:
"When the last book came out, there was a lot of hype about one of me, Emma or Dan dying - which I was quite up for, to be honest...I didn't really know about that. I didn't know how close I got, I suppose it was always in the back of your mind, whether you'd make it to the end. But it wasn't something I really dwell upon. I just did the film at the time and enjoyed it."
How would the death of Ron, or any of the trio, affected you in the end of the series?

The Friends Christmas Party was held today at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where two of our Potter friends, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton attended to spread some holiday cheer. At the annual charity event, children attended a meet and greet with Santa along with Rupert and Tom. The two spent the morning taking pictures with young fans, which granted many Christmas wishes.
Photos from the event can be seen here:

Many actors and actresses from the films attend charity events througout the year. During the promotion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 on DVD at the Wizarding World last month, Rupert Grint had a gift for an unexpecting family.
Noel Edmunds for "Noel's Christmas Presents" sent the family, who lost their mother during childbirth, to Florida where Rupert met the family during a visit to The Three Broomsticks. He took them on a tour of the entire park, including drinking the famous butterbeer and riding rollercoasters together.
Needless to say, the actors and actresses from the series truly are all about their fans and giving back to the community. What kind of Potter-related charity events are going on in your hometown for Christmas?

The spirit of the holidays sparks in all of us the spreading of holiday cheer. As we reported, last week, Rupert Grint accompanied a deserving family through the Wizarding World for a day after surprising them at The Three Broomsticks.
The Carter family were hit by a tragic death when the mother, Denise, died after giving birth to her fourth child in March 2009. In order to cheer this family up, Noel Edmonds, who gives a very special Christmas gift to one deserving family each year, provided the Carter family with a host of special gifts including a memorable trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando Florida.
Rupert's appearance can be seen near the the six-minute mark.
Thanks to Snitch Seeker for the video!

A new clip has surfaced on the Norwegian website VG Nett, which shows a new clip from Rupert Grint's soon-to-be-released film Into the White. The film is scheduled to be released on March 9th, 2012.
In the clip, which you can watch right here, Robert Smith [Grint] and Wolfgang Strunk [played by actor Stig Henrik Hoff] get some makeshift skis and bond while skiing - or attempting to ski - down a hill.
According to the article and a little help from Google translator, Hoff talks about how well prepared and professional Rupert is:
"Great! So precise, so well prepared, a dream to work with. So he has probably had the best film school throughout his childhood, "Harry Potter school." Besides that, he didn't have a hint of star whims; a really good colleague, both working with and being with during free time in recording periods."
As for how well Rupert could ski:
"Well, he claimed he had an uncle who had seen skis once. And he tried out on modern equipment the day before. But then we just had to go on shooting; he had no idea! He fell and rolled around and stood like a chicken, we laughed until we cried. But Rupert gave everything he had and kept, quite impressively, his good mood. Even though he was ice cold in the end."
