I bet he doesnt have a spell for this one...
The actor who plays schoolboy wizard Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films has succumbed to swine flu.
Red-haired Rupert Grint was forced to take a week out of filming the latest instalment in the hugely successful series based on the J.K.Rowling bestsellers.
However, Hogwarts, the fictional school for wizards where Harry and his loyal friends Ron and Hermione Granger battle with the evil Lord Voldemort, is unlikely to suffer the same fate as Eton, which was closed for a week in May when swine flu was reported there.
The 20-year-old actor is said to have fully recovered from his bout of the virus and will be able to join other members of the cast – and thousands of adoring fans – for the premiere of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince in Leicester Square on Tuesday.
Grint, who signed up to play the tall, gangling Ronald Bilius Weasley nearly a decade ago, was sent home from filming last week after suffering flu-like symptoms and was diagnosed with the virus on Thursday.
As a trainee wizard at Hogwarts, he learned not only to ride a broomstick and use a magic wand but also to concoct an array of spells and magic potions that would have helped keep such diseases as swine flu at bay.
In real life, however, Grint was forced to withdraw from the set because of fears that he could infect his fellow cast members.
The actor, who has an army of admiring female fans, has already earned an estimated £7million from the six Harry Potter movies completed so far.
