Harry Potter Star Contracts Swine Flu

Looks as though someone has cast an evil spell on one of the actors from Harry Potter.

Actor Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, has contracted swine flu, his publicist said Saturday, three days before the latest Potter blockbuster premieres in London.

Grint took several days off filming the next movie in the series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, but is still expected to join co-stars on the red carpet for the launch of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” Tuesday.

“It has just been confirmed that Rupert Grint has taken a few days out of filming due to a mild bout of swine flu,” his publicist said in a statement.

“He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members at the junket and premieres this week and will then return to filming directly afterwards.”

She added that filming was not disrupted by the 20-year-old’s absence.

I’m curious to know how he recovered so fast from his mild bout of swine flu, one has to wonder right? But I’m glad he is ok.
