If you recall, last month I posted about Rupert Grint painting a butterfly that would be sold to support charity. That butterfly is now up for bids on eBay!
To bid on Rupert’s painting and support Keech, click here! The auction will run for ten days until next Sunday at 2 pm (UK time).
Universal Orlando released a new sneak peak at the making of some of the footage that will be used for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, James and Oliver Phelps, Bonnie Wright, Robbie Coltrane, Michael Gambon, and more, are shown throughout the clip.
The opening date of the theme park will be revealed on March 25 at midnight EST.
Thanks to rupert-grint.us we have some more news on Rupert’s new film, Cherrybomb!
Go Crazy have saved the distributional rights for the Czech Republic, and we have just been informed that they will also release Cherrybomb in Slovakia!
But that is not all: Cherrybomb will be released in Czech Republic on 3 June 2010! The date for Slovakia has yet to be confirmed, but we will let you know as soon as it is.
Let’s hope that Rupert will be able to do some promotion for those premieres as well! In addition to that, we can tell you that for the German version of Cherrybomb, Rupert will be synchronised by Max Felder, who has also lent him his voice for all Harry Potter films as well as Driving Lessons.

Thanks to Rupert-Grint.us we have scans of the latest issue of NO Magazine featuring Rupert Grint! You can see all the photos here and a small teaser below! If you don’t live in New Zealand and wish to own a copy of the magazine head to this link to see how to get yourself one! He doesn’t talk much about Harry Potter but here are a few segments:
Grint admits he did have concerns about playing such a role, given for the most part, he only played a mixture of “Scared” and “awkward” in his years as Ron Weasley. “It was quite daunting, actually,” confesses the softly spoken actor. “But as the Harry Potter movies have gone on, there has been more in them and my character has developed more. But up until recently it was just me playing this scared guy, with the odd light-hearted line. I never got to push myself, so I was quite worried about doing Cherrybomb because there’s a lot going on with this character, it was a real challenge.”
It was by “fluke” that Grint even sent in an audition for the movie that would irrevocably change his life. Even after he landed the role, it was some time before he started to take the job seriously, or to see it as a job at all. “I mean, it never really occurred to me that it was a job when I first started,” he shrugs. “It was just this fun thing I was doing at the moment. But I suppose it was a few films in really, about film three or four, when the process became clear and it felt like the playtime was over, that it was actually quite hard work. I suppose it was then that I really knew I wanted to keep doing this. I loved it, I was having such an amazing time.”
Having been there for each other from the beginning, the three stars of Harry Potter have formed close ties with each other, though as their on-screen time together draws to a close, Grint furthers that they may have to let each other go in real life to a degree as well. “We are all quite different and all have our agendas on what we want to do,” he says, “but we have been through quite a lot with each other. It’s been a long time and its quite and intimate process, filming together for so long, because you see each other all day every day, so you form close bonds. WE’ll definitely keep in touch when it’s all over but we don’t really see each other outside of filming.”
