Very cool! I am looking forward to seeing all of the kids branch out into other projects. I'm glad that Rupert gets to do this now that he has some time. Break a leg Rup!

That sounds cool! Is Julie Walters playing his mother? It'll sort of be weird, won't it... I wonder if it's a british movie. I love british movies, they're so different. No offence to you yankees, but american blockbusters get a little tiring after a while.

I like it when we can see the three of them in other movies. It allows us to see them in different characters, which can be very interesting. But I do hope they still have time for HP, I really want them to do all the movies. I don't think it would be quite the same if they changed the actors, we're so used to those three now... I'm sure it wouldn't be as good, even if HP would always be great!

Hmm, sounds... interesting. I just hope this doesnt conflict with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I would hate to see him star in Driving Lessons and then not appear in the OotP, oh well, I think he'll still do Harry Potter. As for the whole Driving lessons thing, I think its good for him to start looking at his other options, I mean Harry Potter will only last for so long, if Rupert can show people that hes not only good at portraying Ronald Weasley, he might do better later on in life. I think its good for him, good luck Roo!

Good for him. I was afraid these kids would get stuck in their roles for HP and then forever be typecast. It's good to see at least one of them is moving beyond in between HP films.

OKay movie sounds a little weird, but go Rupert!! Its great for him to get out the role of Ron for a bit and spread his wings, as it were, I always thought he would have the best acting career outside HP!

I hope this works out for him. At least he is working with Julie again. They are already aquainted with each other. I hope he does a good job, so we can quell the statements about him not being a good actor.

This is neat. Can't wait to see these actors and actresses broad out from their childhood starting films.
