His publicist told BBC that Rupert took a few days off from filming on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but is back to work and will join the cast for the UK premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on Tuesday in London, England. “He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members,”the report citing his rep and continued: “Grint’s doctor had confirmed the 20-year-old actor had recovered and was no longer contagious or at risk of infecting others “Other scenes were shot in his absence which did not require his involvement and thus filming was not disrupted,” she added.

We at TLC send our well wishes to Rupert, and hope you are feeling much better soon!
