Actor Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the “Harry Potter” films, recently came down with the Swine Flu.
“I thought, am I going to die?”, he told reporters. Fortunately Grint just ended-up having a sore throat and he stayed in bed for a few days.
The good news is he got to attend the London premiere of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” with his fellow castmates and had a good time – even in the rain.
Grint is schedule to be on “Live with Regis and Kelly” on Thursday. Hopefully he’ll be able to make it.
In other “H.P” news: The IMAX opening for the new film is now set for July 29th nationwide (though it will be available beginning on the 18th in select theaters in L.A., Chicago and N.Y.).
The reason it won’t open in IMAX everywhere is that Paramount has the first two weeks of “Harry’s” release locked-up with “Transformers” in IMAX.
