Rupert Grint Talks About Swine Flu And Harry Potter

Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley on the Harry Potter series, was diagnosed with a "mild bout" of swine flu and had to take a few days out of filming.

Good thing the young actor has fully recovered from the disease. In fact, he joined his fellow stars Danielle Radcliffe and Emma Watson for the press conference of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in Mayfair.


Aside from talking about his film, he also shared his "very scary" experience with the dreaded disease:

"It was quite scary when they first told me I had swine flu, after what's been in the press and stuff. I thought, 'Am I going to die?'

"But it was honestly fine. I just had a sore throat and was in bed for a while."

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released nationwide on July 15. Meanwhile, the cast are already working on the last part of the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Like her fellow lead stars, Rupert Grint has started on the Happy Potter films barely a child. Looking back, the 20-year old actor revealed how his early years with Harry Potter has given him excitement and great memories:

"I have great memories, really. It's weird looking back on the first few Harry Potter films because it just doesn't really seem like us. It was such an exciting time in my life - everything was new, I had never been on a film set. I missed out on a lot of school and with that comes a lot of normality. But I don't regret that, to be honest."
