The Grint Family See how Rupert has grown throughout the years... Longer version (includes filmography):      Rupert Alexander Lloyd Grint was born in Hertfordshire, England on August 24, 1988. Rupert is the eldest child of Jo and Nigel Grint and he has four siblings: one brother, James and three sisters, Georgina , Samantha and Charlotte. When Rupert isn't filming or in school, he plays golf, football (soccer), PlayStation, guitar, rides his unicycle and his bike. His favorite sports is football. Rupert also likes drawing and arts is one of his favorite subjects in school. He has also stated, that if he's not going to be an actor, he would like to have a career somehow related to arts. At the moment, Rupert is attending to all boys -school in his hometown and is currently taking his CGSE exams (that's the reason why Rupert hasn't been in so many TV programs as Daniel and Emma have lately).      Rupert had only acted in one school play before he got his first change to act in a movie. He had read J.K. Rowling's magical wizard series, Harry Potter, and he had always had one favorite character: Ron Weasley. Rupert has many times said, that he felt somehow related to Ron; he thought that there were many similarities between him and Ron. So when Rupert heard, that they were going to make a movie of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone, he definitely wanted to be in it. He send in an image of himself and waited. After he received no answer, he decided to show them how much he really wanted the part. Rupert made an audition tape first performing as his drama teacher (who happened to be a woman) and finally came up with a rap song that promoted the character he was auditioning for, Ronald Weasley. Rupert was then called to audition for the role. After several auditions, he was called to David Heyman's office and sat down with a girl called Emma Watson. They were then told, that they had been cast to play the roles of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Rupert's first thought was 'cool.'      After the release of ?Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone? in 2001 Rupert became known all over the world. He had proved himself one of the most recognized actors on the big screen. His performance was probably the most liked of all trio in the first movie as well as in the second. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was released in 2002 and Rupert returned to screen as Ron Weasley. Rupert also, unlike Emma and Daniel, appeared in totally a film totally different from Harry Potter. Thunderpants was released in 2002 a bit before the Chamber of Secrets.    Like his co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, Rupert made several TV appearances after the release of the second Potter movies. He visited many talk shows and other events, talking about making Harry Potter and how has his life changed. It seems, though, that Rupert is the one of the trio who gets least publicity.    In June 2004, the third Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was released. It became a huge hit, even bigger than the two movies before it. The trio, Daniel, Rupert and Emma returned to film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which was released on November 5, 2005. During this time, Rupert decided to step away from Harry Potter and do a comedy film with director, Jeremy Brock. The film is called Driving Lessons and Rupert plays a shy boy named Ben.

The film will be released on July 13, 2007 in the United States and the United Kingdom.

After Rupert completed filimng his scenes in May 2008, he started filming Cherrybomb, a teenage drama, in July. After completing his work, it has been difficult for the film to be distributed and has only been viewed at film festivals.      Keeping himself busy, Rupert then started filming Wild Target, a comedy remake of the 1993 French film Cible Emouvante. Although filming has ended, there is still no set release date for the UK and there will not be a release in the US.      Soon enough, Rupert found himself back on the Harry Potter set to film scenes for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Filming will continue for the rest of the year. However between filming, Rupert got a short "break" to promote Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which was released on July 15th 2009. After the release, he went back to filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. More Rupert, please? My favorite Rupert site: RupertGrint.net
