Actor Rupert Grint has made a few public appearances lately, attending the popular V festival concert in the UK (photos here), as well as appearing on the Jo Whiley Radio Show. Thanks to our Order parter RupertGrint.net, we now know that during the radio interview which was broadcast on BBC Radio, Rupert spoke about the upcoming sixth Harry Potter film, which is due to begin filming next month. Rupert is quoted as saying:

We sort of read the script through. We got all the cast to come around to read the script and we’ll be filming it for another year so.. Ron’s got a girlfriend in this one. It’s a little bit more intense for him! [laughs] So it should be fun!”

To listen to this interview, click here, select Monday under where it says “Listen Again.” Rupert talks about the HBP film just after the 21:00 mark on the player. Also be sure to check out a very funny interview taped with Rupert at the V festival concert, where Rupert shows us a very cool jacket that has …goggles (rather useful too for Quidditch). Enjoy!

Thanks much to our parters at RupertGrint.net!

Rupert is so cool! I wonder what he thought of the last book?

I’m beginning to find Rupert’s awkwardness in interviews more appealing. Not sure why. Maybe it’s because Dan and Emma always seem to know what they’re going to say and come off as a little rehearsed (and bored). And then again, maybe it’s just because of the Harry Potter t-shirt he wore at the OOTP premiere. I LOVED IT.

Whatever the reason, the “Yeah, that was way cool” is starting to grow on me.

GO RUPERT!!!!!

They’ve had the whole cast around? Meaning they’ve officially cast Narcissa and the other new characters? Oooooh! Hope we get a casting announcement soon then :)

OK all you hip young fans, I thought the trio were into British and European bands from previous interviews. Aren’t the Foo Fighters and Pink Americans? I am getting old and dopey in my old age.

If filming is going to take a year or so than HPB is not going to make it out in NOV. 08. I never thought the time line for HBP sounded right when they said 11/08 as a release time since that gave them only 14 months to film and edit. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

“Won Won”....”Lav Lav”...Need I say more ;-)

Michele. I don´t think that´ll you need to worry about the movie not being finish untill november 2008…Most of the younger cast are “over” age, And can therefor work full time. I believe that Emma is the only one of the trio who´s still in school
