No offence to the directors and casting agents for this movie but Rupert is hardly the best child actor - he must really look the part, i can't see why else they would hire him! Sorry i just think he's a dreadgul actor, with all those over the top facial expressions :-S

Wow...our first "hater"....the facial expressions are meant to be funny DracosBarbie. And yes, he is. He's done MORE than HP, obviously. And you haven't seen him outside of HP. SO before you try and say what he is NOT, see what else he's done. I think he's perfect. And of course you don't go into a movie looking the part, you have to be made into the character you're doing.

Assuming that Julie Waters has the part of the retired actress, this should be a repeat part for her. She was very good in Billy Elliot.

ImRupertsGurl4Lyfe calm down it was just an opinion. I dont have to be a Rupert Grint fan just because you are! I, for example, am a huge Orlando Bloom fan but i don't expect you to view him in the same light as i do, nor would i get angry and venemous to anyone who didn't agree with my personal views on his acting abilities.
Im sorry you dont agree with my views - im not saying you're wrong, nor am i saying that im right - it's just an opinion and i have the right to express it.
Sorry if i offended or upset you - not my intention at all. Just wishes to make my opinion known.
I dont follow the crowd and swoon saying 'oh he's great' etc etc - i say the truth - well, my truth anyway. What i think.
Sorry again, hope you dont hate me - im not a 'hater' as you called it. I like the guy, met him many times through work - i just dont think he's the best actor. *shrugs* cant change my views - sorry!

DracosBarbie, you're right. You are entitled to your own opinion, but you're saying it as if Rupert isn't right for the movie. Like the opportunity should be given to someone else. I think he will be great in the movie, and if not, just another notch on his belt of experience. He can grow from it. And nope, I don't like Orlando Bloom, but he is who he is. I'm not gonna knock him. But what you said was plain rude and you know it.

It was jokey - thats the problem with being online - its all context. Mind you, we Brits have a sense of humour that not even other Brits always understand. Really didnt mean to offend and im sorry but i stick to my opinion.
I think he will be great in the movie, and if not, just another notch on his belt of experience. He can grow from it.
Im sorry, i just enjoy watching movies with good actors *shrugs* sorry but i cant sit there thinking 'ah well, bad performance, at least maybe next time he'll be better'
And don't imply that i knew i was being rude - as i said earlier, i've met the guy and have nothing against him. He's a great guy and i dont wish him ill, i do, however, think he should quit acting L0L sorry - that looks worse than i meant it to sound but, thats the problem with typing and not talking.
Hate me all you want but subject over - im off to bed and not reading any replies as, frankly, i know what fanatics are like and you wont let this rest even though i apologised and tried to explain.

Thats cool that he is doing other projects, seems a little strange but still cool. He had better still have time for HP though. :)

From that tiny blurb, the movie sounds interesting! I'm looking forward to seeing Rupert in the film (and who doesn't want to see Julie Walters?!)

I'm so going to see this movie. It'll be weird seeing Rupert as someone other than Ron. That's kind of why I want to see it, to see how he portrays other characters.

I hope that Rupert does well branching out in the entertainment business, the Ron character has been too belittled in the HP movies, I wish all the luck to him!

Wow that is so cool... i think it is wonderful if Rupert can do more than Harry Potter with his work as an actor... I'd love to see the movie... but i do hope that he stays as ron in the harry potter films... it just wouldn't be the same without him playing ron... I hope that all of the other children can do other films too... it would be wonderful to see them acting as other people... Good Luck to Rupert's new film!!! <333

Wow! I cant believe Rupert Grint is going to star in another movie. I thought Ron was the only major role he would play. But I could have figured that. He is a great Actor.

It's weird, Rupert get's the least attention in the trio, but more in the roles out of Harry Potter! Good for him! Breaking free! =p.
