It says that filming wasn't disrupted because Ron wasn't in the scenes they were filming, maybe they are filming Gordric Hollow scenes, or ministry break in.

I am a terrible person. Because I feel like laughing. Hope he does feel/get better, though.

Just wanted to let you guys know that mild cases of the Swine Flu and also known as H1N1. It has the common characteristics of a common cold. Your body starts to ache ( not to sever but just aches), you also get a sore throat followed by hoursness and your cough sounds really harsh.. It can also be accompianied with headaches. Now for those who have comprimised immune systems and have a hard time fighting it are those who are most at danger,,,,,,,,,,but for healthy average people it is no more than a girl of a cold.....it last at least two weeks but you feel bad for the first week. It is contagious but unfortunatly you can spread it before you even know you have it, once you have it the airborne cells become dormant. After the seventh day of the onset of symptoms you should be able to do activities as normal, until then try not to get around to many people. Rupurt will be fine guys, trust me. He is a healthy, strong young teenage man, he will be feeling crappy for a while but he will be better soon..

i agree with Claudieko and RoseMclane, i also just shouted "what?!!" at the computer screen


Posted by Bethhh Jul 4th 2009

erm .. i wasnt that suprised :/ its everywhere in the England. Everyday there is some story about swine flu. Why wouldn't he get it? He's just like everyone else, not like he's immune to it because he is in HP. Hope he gets better soon .. which he should :)


Posted by wiltabone Jul 4th 2009

Hope he's ok now :)


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Jul 4th 2009

Omg, that's horrible. Get better soon Rupert!!!!


Posted by fuckyou Jul 4th 2009

im not buying this crap for one second


Posted by carpediem1991 Jul 4th 2009

Posted by ShainaWeasley about an hour ago: "Why don't they just keep that in Mexico?..." And that is SO tactful for you to say.


Posted by DeathlyHallows_07 Jul 4th 2009

swine flu?! :O hope he gets better soon!


Posted by Blazarer Jul 4th 2009

Can anyone else just picture rupert making pig jokes and just having a laugh about it. lolol. Swine flus just like every other flu so dont worry. Hope for a speedy recovery :D


Posted by Leslie33 Jul 4th 2009

I'm finding this really hard to believe. Whomever is posting this "news" is jumping on the H1N1 and Celebrity tragedy band wagon. Just because it says that the BBC reports this, doesn't mean it's true.


Posted by Bethhh Jul 4th 2009

Leslie33 the BBC is ALWAYS right. They make sure of the facts first. And why would they lie about this? Anyway, loads of people have got it .. why is it hard to believe that Rupert has got it?


Posted by SapphireSpell Jul 4th 2009

aww rupert, well im glad he is recovering and its nothing serious, he's a trooper.


Posted by jlsteffy08 Jul 4th 2009

Get well soon Rupert!


Posted by javan_weasley Jul 4th 2009

@ DEATHEATERTWO he still had the swine flu which is a pretty big deal what if you had a mild case of swine flu and you went to your doctor and he said "it's not a big deal it's similar to the common cold, relax".


Posted by ashurlito Jul 4th 2009

well... ummm.. if he DOES have swine flu why the heck is he still going to the HBP premier? to get more ppl sick, stay home dear rupert.


Posted by lost_house_elf Jul 4th 2009

I don't really understand why some people are finding this hard to believe. Most people with swine flu don't even realize they have it because it gives you the exact same symptoms that a regular flu gives you, and fatalities are not common in other countries like they were in Mexico. Anyone can get swine flu, so why people think because he's famous he wouldn't is beyond me. Someone at my school got it. She's fine now. Was away for like 4 days. It doesn't stay contagious for very long. People really shouldn't find this THAT hard to believe. Get well soon Rupert!


Posted by pygmypuff811 Jul 4th 2009

aw man! a bunch of my friends got it. they were all fine in a few days :] feel better ruperttttt


Posted by acciocaitlin Jul 4th 2009

Posted by msmclaggan Jul 4th 2009

Posted by DobbysSocks Jul 4th 2009

OhmyGod! I hope he feels better soon(:


Posted by hpfreak13 Jul 4th 2009
